AG Paxton Joins 20-State Coalition in Urging Biden, Congress to Reconsider Packing the Supreme Court

Ken Paxton

Attorney General Ken Paxton today joined a 20-state coalition in sending a letter to the Biden Administration and congressional leaders, voicing concerns of reports that Congress intends to pack the Supreme Court. The letter states that this action is a clear, coordinated attempt to justify a power grab by the leaders of Congress and the President.

“This obvious attempted overreach is not only unconstitutional, but it would break our system of checks and balances. Our country has a robust history of judicial independence, and it has long stood strong in line with the laws of the nation—not the whim of political objectives,” said Attorney General Paxton.
