President Biden will issue an executive order Friday to form a commission to study reforms to the United States Supreme Court.
Biden, under pressure from liberals to expand the size of the high court, promised to create the commission during a "60 Minutes" interview back in October in the wake of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death.
The 36-member commission will be bipartisan and will hold public meetings to evaluate court reforms. The new panel will have 180 days from the first meeting to complete its report of recommendations.
While court-packing -- or expanding the number of justices beyond nine -- has been the most high-profile court reform debated, Biden's executive order seeks to look at other judicial changes, including the lifetime appointment of justices.
According to the White House, the commission will look into "the length of service and turnover of justices on the Court; the membership and size of the Court; and the Court’s case selection, rules, and practices."

Sort of agree but don't know what changes could be made that still keep the court as isolated from politics as possible.
Just a persons age doesn't tell you much about their mental capacity, the majority party could install a bunch of 18 year olds to the court if they wanted to.
I suspect the commission will not suggest any substantial changes in the end and Biden can declare the campaign promise as kept.
