Progressive groups are reaching out to 2020 Democratic presidential candidates to support their push to expand the number of Supreme Court justices in order to diminish the current conservative majority. So far, the drive by the group named ‘Pack the Courts’ is getting two maybes from Democratic presidential contenders and a no from a likely White House hopeful. She added they’re now beginning to raise small-dollar donations from individuals to further fuel their effort to expand the number of high court justices. But Republicans say advocating to expand the number of Supreme Court justices will make 2020 Democratic contenders appear more extreme to voters come the general election. A push by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1937 to increase the number of justices failed.
