On June 9, 2021, The Federalist Society's Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, New Jersey, Delaware, and Philadelphia Lawyers Chapters hosted a debate about various proposals to transform the Supreme Court.
Is it time to pack the Supreme Court? With the appointments of Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett, many progressives are demanding structural changes to the nation's highest court. Members of Congress have proposed adding justices, establishing term limits, and even stripping the Court's jurisdiction. President Biden has assembled a commission to make proposals.
Featuring:
Carrie Severino, Chief Counsel and Policy Director, Judicial Crisis Network
Prof. Ryan Doerfler, Professor of Law, University of Chicago Law School
Moderator: Louis Capozzi, Law Clerk to the Honorable J. Harvie Wilkinson at U.S. Courts of Appeals
