Supreme Court commission "discussion materials" are out
whitehouse.gov/pcscotus/publi…

Commission says "risks of court expansion are considerable" and "would be perceived by many as a partisan maneuver"

Members of the commission "are divided on whether court expansion would be wise."

Commission seems much more into the idea of term limits or something similar that would allow appointments to be staggered, but the problem is that it is unclear if Congress has the power to do that. The commission is divided on that point.

The White House kept saying these were just "discussion materials" but these docs are pretty sour on expanding the court/court packing (pick your team) and much more positive about term limits

First Liberty sends release headlined "SCOTUS Commission Reveals How They Want to Change the U.S. Supreme Court to Satisfy Far-Left Progressives" which doesn't quite track what is in the report, which progressives are already criticizing

for example, Demand Justice calls it "paralysis by analysis" and "not even close to being worth the wait."
