Supreme Court,Nancy Pelosi,Court Packing
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday she has "no plans" to bring a Democratic-led bill to expand the Supreme Court to the House floor for a vote, while saying such an idea is "not out of the question."
Pelosi was asked during a press briefing if she supported a bill brought forward by House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) to expand the Supreme Court by four seats and if she would bring it to the House floor.
"No. I support the president's commission to study such a proposal, but frankly I'm not β right now, we're back, our members, our committees are working. We're putting together the infrastructure bill and the rest," Pelosi said.
