The movement to counter the Supreme Court’s rightward lurch has come a long way since 2018, when a small but dogged group of progressive advocates began pushing to expand the nine-member court. In Democratic circles, the idea has gained traction, particularly in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision overturning the right to abortion, and recently it has attracted two big name allies. Last week, Democratic lawmakers gathered on the steps of Supreme Court to reintroduce the Judiciary Act, a bill to add four justices to the nation’s highest court, with the nation’s two largest abortion rights groups, Planned Parenthood and NARAL-Pro-Choice America, joining them.
