Turley Warns Dems Are Renewing Push To Expand Supreme Court

“One Harvard professor said, ‘Look, all the things we’re talking about here are not going to get through the Supreme Court. So, we have to take over the Supreme Court,’” Turley said.

Turley argued that many of the proposals favored by some progressives would face constitutional challenges and that court expansion is being promoted as a way to overcome those obstacles.

“So that’s what we’re talking about here,” he said.

“And they’re trying to condition voters that it is worth guaranteeing us power to trade off core institutions like the court.”

During the segment, Fox News anchor John Roberts also played clips of prominent Democrats criticizing recent Supreme Court decisions.

Turley said there is an important distinction between historical changes to the size of the court and what he described as modern court-packing proposals.

“There’s a difference between expanding the court gradually, and what these Democrats are talking about, which is packing the court,” Turley said.
