Kamala Harris Goes Viral For Floating Court Packing And Electoral College Reform

"We talk about the idea of Supreme Court reform, which includes expanding the Supreme Court, Harris said on Wednesday, adding: We invite a conversation about multi-member districts. We talk aboutlook, if we win the Senate, which we should and we will, then the Senate Judiciary Committee should have rules that they put in place so when these people come before as nominees to the Supreme Court and lie, that they are held to account and consequence. Not just that somebody goes on cable news and says they lied, but that there are rules in place to actually penalize people for lying to a Senate Judiciary Committee."

"We agree that it is right to have ethics rules for Supreme Court justices, and let's put those in place. Let's talk about statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C. These are the things I think that we've got to do. We've got to neutralize these red states from cheating, including blue states expanding their maps. And all of this, I think, islook, we gotta fight fire with fire. These folks are playing to win. We gotta play to win too."

"The clip went viral with both supporters and critics sharing her take as pundits from both sides suggested Harris was reading the Democratic Party base correctly by floating a laundry list of their long-held wants. Dozens of prominent commentators on the right quickly shared clips of Harris's comments and accused her of wanting to subvert democracy."

Kamala Harris made remarks during a webinar that included ideas for changing the Electoral College and reforming the Supreme Court. She suggested expanding the Supreme Court and inviting discussion of multi-member districts. She argued that if Democrats win the Senate, the Senate Judiciary Committee should adopt rules that impose consequences when Supreme Court nominees lie, rather than relying on public criticism. She supported ethics rules for Supreme Court justices. She also called for statehood for Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. She said Democrats should neutralize red states from cheating, including by expanding maps, and emphasized fighting fire with fire to play to win.
