| Subject: Kamala, Nagila Kamala, Nagila Kamala, Ve' Nismecha: Harris was open to packing Supreme Court to shift balance away from conservatives Mon Sep 21, 2020 11:46 pm | |
| 'We have to take this challenge head-on, and everything is on the table to do that,' she said
2020 Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris went on record last year saying she might support adding additional seats to the Supreme Court, in an effort to swing the ideological balance of the judicial branch back to the left.
Beginning with Robert Bork's failed nomination by Ronald Reagan in the 1980s -- and continuing up until the most recent nomination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh -- Senate confirmation fights have turned into political do-or-dies for both sides of the aisle, as reflected by Harris' past comments to Politico.
“We are on the verge of a crisis of confidence in the Supreme Court,” Harris said last March, according to Politico. “We have to take this challenge head-on, and everything is on the table to do that.”
Harris also reportedly shared similar sentiments with the New York Times, saying she was "absolutely open to" packing the court.
The California Democrat was not the only member of her party's presidential hopefuls to commit to a court-packing strategy if Trump continued to see success in reshaping the high court. Some even offered proposals to add up to 10 more members.
