Senate Democrats are signaling that threats, made in the wake of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death, may have been hasty. Democratic leaders are now rushing to tamp down talk of expanding the Court beyond the current nine seats and some may even be waffling the idea of killing the filibuster — a proposal that, just days ago, was all but certain to turn into reality.
Despite claims that “nothing is off the table,” from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senate Judiciary Committee member Richard Blumenthal (D-SC), Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), who would chair the Judiciary Committee if Dems retake the Senate, says a move to “pack” the Court is unlikely, per The Hill.
