"Democrats Push for Supreme Court Reform Amid Criticism"
Congressional Democrats and pressure groups are pushing to expand the US Supreme Court by adding four seats to counter a rightward tilt during the Donald Trump administration that, they say, put it out of step with mainstream public opinion. The legislative effort was first launched two years ago but this time it is backed by Planned Parenthood and Naral Pro-Choice America, spurred by the court’s decision last year to overturn the constitutional right to abortion after nearly 50 years. However, they face an uphill battle to persuade President Biden and other senior Democrats to put the issue front and centre of next year’s election campaign.
