Senator Elizabeth Warren supports the law on expanding the Supreme Court, accusing Republicans of seizing the tribunal in order to undermine democracy. Warren will add her name to a court-packing bill that Democrats introduced in April, which means that four seats would be added to the High Court, so the total number of justices will go from 9 to 13. This approval has attracted support in Congress from a handful of low-profile lawmakers, as it makes Warren the new leader for court-packing. But President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court commission refused to endorse Supreme Court expansion, while top Democratic lawmakers in…
