Democrats continue to be infuriated that a conservative-leaning majority on the Supreme Court has ruled on cases in ways that they don't like, and there has been talk on the left for several years now about radical potential actions that could be taken to alter that reality, such as packing the court with additional left-leaning justices.

During a CNN town hall event on Wednesday, Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris suggested that she'd "study" possible reforms like court-packing if she is elected president in November, according to Breitbart.

Of course, as is the case with virtually all of Harris' plans and proposals, she provided no real details about how she'd achieve such court reforms and instead spent time critically attacking the Republican-led court and her GOP opponent, former President Donald Trump, who is responsible for the current right-leaning court majority.

Harris indicates support for court-packing scheme

A participant in CNN's town hall on Wednesday asked VP Harris of the Supreme Court, "Would you be in favor of expanding the court to say, 12, so each justice has only one circuit court, other than [the] chief justice to assist in making judgments more balanced?"

While that question was ostensibly based on an equal distribution of the high court's oversight of the nation's 13 circuit courts -- 12 regional circuits plus the District of Columbia -- expanding the number of justices under a Democratic president, undoubtedly with progressive leftist jurists, would align with the left's goals of diluting and negating the current 6-3 conservative-leaning majority.

"Well, to your point," Harris replied, "there is no question that the American people, increasingly, are losing confidence in the Supreme Court, and, in large part, because of the behavior of certain members of that court and because of certain rulings, including the Dobbs decision and taking away a precedent that had been in place for 50 years, protecting a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body."

"So, I do believe that there should be some kind of reform of the court, and we can study what that actually looks like," she added.

Harris has for years been "open" to leftist court reform proposals

Fox News reported that VP Harris signaling her openness to the idea of expanding and packing the Supreme Court, presumably with additional liberal-leaning judges, is not a surprise or new ground for her.

Indeed, during her time as a U.S. senator from California and during her failed 2020 presidential run, in which she dropped out of the race before the first primary election because of her consistently poor polling with voters, Harris repeatedly expressed her support for the idea of court-packing.

In fact, during a campaign event in New Hampshire during that cycle, Harris was asked about increasing the number of Supreme Court justices from 9 to 13, and replied at that time, "I’m open to this conversation about increasing the number of people on the United States Supreme Court."

Harris has expressed her support for various court-packing and term limit plans

More recently, according to a New York Post report in August, progressive leftist Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), who seemingly holds a personal vendetta against the Supreme Court's conservative-leaning members, said that VP Harris was on board with his proposed legislation to expand the court and impose limits and other restrictions on its senior members.

Under the senator's proposal, justices would still be appointed for life but those appointments would be "regularized" every two years and only the most recent nine appointees would be permitted to participate in the Supreme Court's normal "appellate" caseload for 18 years, after which they would be relegated to a sort of senior status and only be allowed to take part in the relatively few "original jurisdiction" cases that come before the bench.

President Joe Biden, after ending his re-election campaign in July and with the support of Harris, per the Post, offered up a similar proposal that would also make appointments a routine thing every two years but would cap service at 18 years, which would force senior members to retire.

It is unclear if Harris, were she to be elected president, would support either of those two plans or come up with an even more radical proposal of her own, but it is certain that her fellow Democrats, if they had majority control of both congressional chambers and the White House, would find a way to ram through some sort of court-packing scheme to alter the Supreme Court's ideological balance in their favor.
