    Biden commission releases research into possible Supreme Court expansion.
    NBC News (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 74% • 2 min read

    President Biden created the commission in April to study the number of justices on the Supreme Court along with other ways to reform the court system. The group is charged with presenting a final report to Biden by mid-November. The [initial findings] laid out various arguments around reforming the Supreme Court but made no recommendations.
    ...
    On expanding the number of Supreme Court justices, the group said they were ultimately divided. The commission laid out a number of factors to be considered, including ways it would impact the judicial system, how the political timing would affect the court's independence and the example it would set for other countries that could use it to justify tampering with their own judicial systems.
    ...
    The group said that court expansion could "undermine, rather than enhance, the Supreme Court’s legitimacy and its role in the constitutional system, and there are significant reasons to be skeptical that expansion would serve democratic values."

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - History is a complicated messy business entwined with what went before and what comes after and with no obvious beginning or end. There are historical facts, for sure - numbers and dates and events - but the interpretation of these facts varies enormously depending on who is recounting the history and when. We should all be encouraged to view historical events through as many different lenses as possible.


No - Just teach the true history. That includes the fact that our founding fathers such as Thomas Jefferson had slaves...



Unsure - I believe different views are important, but I’m not sure how other viewpoints are acceptable for mass genocide....
