It never fails. The moment the U.S. Supreme Court rules in a way that infuriates the left, Democrats immediately begin clamoring for the court to be stuffed with liberal judges.
When they don’t get their way, their first instinct is to change the rules.
Adam Schiff is the latest high-profile Democrat to make this demand.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Adam Schiff leads call to fill Supreme Court with liberals
Calls to fill the Supreme Court with liberal justices grew louder over the weekend as partisan Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) issued a new call for the nation’s highest court to “expand, unstack, and reform.”
In an email to supporters of his Senate campaign, Schiff said, “We need to unpack the court by increasing the number of judges on the court, setting time limits and enacting a code of ethics like any other federal court.”
Liberal lawmakers have been angry with the court since President Donald Trump put three conservatives on it. Since then, there have been demands to retaliate by adding more judges to water down the GOP majority.
However, most Americans oppose packing in court, and even President Joe Biden was hesitant to join the call. A survey conducted a year ago by the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports found that 55% oppose adding more judges.
Democrats, however, seem to be in favour. That survey, following the court’s decisions to end Roe v. Wade and expand gun rights, said 64% of Democrats want to add four justices to the nine sitting on the bench today.

Expanding the size of the Supreme Court is not extreme or unprecedented, but the opinions of this Court certainly are.

Ilhan Omar agrees because of course she does.
Every option should be on the table to provide relief and fix this broken track.
Use the Higher Education Act.
SCOTUS Term Limits.
Mandatory ethical rules.
Limit judicial review.

Many leftists agree. This tweet sums it up perfectly:
Left:
A court blocks a state law they don’t like.
‘THIS IS DEMOCRACY IN ACTION!!’The SCOTUS makes a ruling they don’t like.
WE LIVE UNDER RIGHT-WING FASCISM! EXPAND THE COURT! IGNORE THE EXCLUSION! DEMOCRACY IS AT Stake!!’— Chad Felix Greene (@chadfelixg) June 29, 2023
They are so predictable.
