Today, we're going to talk about a new push to expand the Supreme Court, including some

moves by both Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi, along with a certain nightmare scenario if we

don't expand the court.

I interview US Commerce Secretary Gina Romando about the American Jobs Plan, how to push

back against China, and how GOP opposition to the bill will hurt their own constituents

most.

And finally, I answer some of the questions that you submitted.

I'm Brian Tyler Cohen, and you're listening to No Lie.

So the issue of court expansion, court packing is back.

Biden made news by creating a commission composed of 36 members to study the issue of expanding

the court.

At the same time, legislation has been introduced by Jerry Nadler in the House and Ed Markey

in the Senate that would increase the number of justices on the Supreme Court from 9 to

13.

So practically speaking, it would mean that Biden would get to nominate four more justices.

They'd all be Democrats.

So instead of a six three conservative court, it would be a seven six liberal court.

Now Pelosi had dumped some cold water on the idea, at least in the immediate future saying

quote, I have no intention of bringing it to the floor.

Instead she backed Biden's move to create that commission and said quote, I don't know

that that's a good idea or a bad idea.

I think it's an idea that should be considered.
