Turley Warns Dems Are Renewing Push To Expand Supreme Court

He argued that the purpose of adding additional justices would be to alter outcomes in future cases.

“Adding four liberal justices to flip the result of cases,” he said.

Turley specifically cited issues such as race-based policies and proposals for a federal wealth tax as examples of measures he believes supporters would seek to advance through a restructured court.

He maintained that efforts to expand the Supreme Court for political purposes would weaken public confidence in the judiciary and damage one of the nation’s most important institutions.

“This whole list of items that the Democrats want to do to guarantee power require them to take this hostile move against the court,” Turley said.

He concluded by warning that political leaders should consider the long-term consequences of altering foundational institutions for short-term political gain.

“And these are people who are showing that they are politicians who can’t think beyond the next election, let alone the next generation,” Turley said.

“And it is dangerous.”
