A constitutional law expert noted that the Supreme Court, with its recent decisions, could be sending a message to proponents of “packing” or enacting other changes to the high court.
“The Supreme Court this week continued to disappoint congressional Democrats and activists with a long line of embarrassingly unanimous, nonideological rulings,” wrote George Washington University law professor and constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley on his website. “After all, the court is supposedly ... ‘out of whack’ due to its irreconcilable ideological divisions. Indeed, the court is allegedly so dysfunctionally divided that many, including Democratic leaders, have called for sweeping changes—from packing the court with new justices to changing its voting rules or even creating an alternative court.”
