Biden begins launch of promised commission to 'reform' the Supreme Court

President Joe Biden has begun staffing his promised commission to "reform" the Supreme Court and the federal judiciary, an undertaking he vowed in October would go on to address court packing as well as "a number of other things."

The commission — which is to be housed under the purview of the White House Counsel's office and chaired by Biden campaign lawyer Bob Bauer — "is indeed moving ahead [with] some members have already been selected," Politico reported Wednesday.

Those reportedly added to the commission so far include Cristina Rodríguez, a Yale Law School professor and a former deputy assistant attorney general in the Obama Justice Department; Caroline Fredrickson, the former president of the American Constitution Society; and Jack Goldsmith, a Harvard Law School professor and a former assistant attorney general in the Bush Department of Justice.
