2/"The commission arranged a separate 16-person committee of Supreme Court lawyers and former solicitors general who collectively have argued more than 400 cases before the high court, to share their views on the proposals for major changes to the court.

3/"This group "unanimously oppose[d] proposals to enlarge the court" because "increasing the number of justices represents an escalation of the problem, not a solution, and a larger bench could make arguments less productive, deliberations more difficult,

4/"and yield even more opinions with less clarity in the law," Maureen Mahoney, the committee co-chair and a partner at Latham and Watkins, told the commission.

5/"Expanding the court would "would lead to further partisan, poisonous, mutual acrimony," Stanford Law School professor Michael McConnell told the commission in June. "I don't think there's any doubt that it would be viewed, rightly or wrongly

6/"— I think rightly — by all Republicans as an illegitimate move, a manipulation, and an abuse of power, and an attempt to undermine our constitutional system. I suspect that the public would come around to that point of view as well."

7/"However, others advocated expanding the court. Chris Kang told the commission "the size of the court has been changed seven times before, and this is the constitutional response to a political court, and it is the only way to restore balance and provide relief right away.".."
