Letter to Bob Bauer and Cristina Rodriguez, Co-Chairs of the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States - Sen. Cruz, Rep. Johnson Remind President Biden's Commission He Has No Authority to Pack Supreme Court

Letter

Date: May 24, 2021
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Judicial Branch

Dear Commissioner Bauer and Commissioner Rodriguez,

Despite the President's inability to alter the Supreme Court, President Biden established your
commission to pacify the far left. We write to remind you that Article III, Section 1 states "The
judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior
Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish." As such, Congress retains
exclusive authority to amend or preserve the Supreme Court.

We would like to remind you of the growing congressional momentum currently backing S.J. Res.
9 and H.J.Res.11 - Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to require that
the Supreme Court of the United States be composed of nine justices.

Our resolution has gained significant momentum in both Chambers, with 18 Senators and 173
Members of the House signed on as cosponsors. Please see below for all Members of Congress
who have pledged their support for this resolution:
