Jeffries Vows to Overhaul Supreme Court Amid Democratic Pressure

House leader Hakeem Jeffries says he will shake up the top court if he becomes speaker. He says the current judges act like a political arm for the MAGA crowd. He says this move will show his bold stance to the voters.

He wants a 18‑year limit on justices and to add more seats so the court can flip. He says Rep. Jamie Raskin will lead this plan. The goal is a liberal majority fast.

Polls show most Americans back the recent rulings, like the ban on racial gerrymandering. Yet Democrats keep saying the court is broken and need to be reshaped. Sen. Elizabeth Warren backs packing the court, and former AG Eric Holder pushes the same idea for a 2028 Democratic win.

James Madison warned that groups driven by passion can push changes that hurt rights. If the court is altered without a constitutional amendment, the judges may stop it. The debate is really about who holds power in Washington.
