Leading Democrats are already calling for changes in the makeup of the Supreme Court, including the possibility of enlarging it or putting term limits on justices. The new group, abbreviated A3P, is partly a response to the creation of Demand Justice, a progressive organization trying to raise Democratic intensity over judicial conflicts. It was formed after Mr. McConnell stonewalled President Barack Obama’s nomination of Judge Merrick B. Garland to the Supreme Court in 2016 and Mr. Trump’s subsequent election. Mr. Davis said he saw his emerging organization as a complement to — not a competitor of — other conservative judicial advocacy groups such as the Judicial Crisis Network and said they would work in concert. Mr. Davis clerked again for Justice Gorsuch at the beginning of his Supreme Court tenure.
