Democrats Against Court Packing

We oppose expanding the size of the U.S. Supreme Court.

An independent Supreme Court is fundamental to America's system of checks and balances.

An independent Supreme Court that interprets the law is critical to the rule of law itself.

A larger court increases the risk of a highly skewed, unbalanced court.

Whether members of one party have abused their power, changed their position, or broken their word in the process of filling a Supreme Court vacancy isn't the issue.

We applaud the many Democrats and Republicans who've opposed expanding the size of the Supreme Court.

We urge them to endorse the Keep Nine constitutional amendment, which would state simply: "The Supreme Court of the United States shall be composed of nine Justices."
