Biden, Jr.<br \/>\nPresident of the United States<br \/>\nThe White House<br \/>\nWashington, D.C. 20500<\/p>\n<p>Dear President Biden,<\/p>\n<p>As Governors, we oppose any attempt to increase the number of Justices on the Supreme Court of the<br \/>\nUnited States. In short, \u201ccourt packing\u201d\u2014or increasing the number of Justices to manipulate the Court\u2019s<br \/>\ndecisions\u2014would be unprecedented, unproductive, and unpredictable. The highest court in our land has<br \/>\nseated nine justices for more than 150 years and has persisted throughout our nation\u2019s history, dispensing<br \/>\njustice even when faced with landmark, controversial decisions.<\/p>\n<p>The American form of government is one that depends on the sovereignty and cooperation of states. Each<br \/>\nterm, the Supreme Court hears criminal and civil matters that are critically important to our states and to<br \/>\nthe people we represent. Historically, cases before the Supreme Court have served as the last legal defense<br \/>\nof state sovereignty, protecting states and our citizens from federal overreach. As Governors, we have a<br \/>\nvested interest in ensuring that our nation\u2019s highest court remains independent and free from political<br \/>\npressure or partisan power grabs.<\/p>\n<p>In April, you signed an Executive Order to form the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the<br \/>\nUnited States to explore reforming the Court, specifically including the consideration of court packing.<br \/>\nOpposition to the composition or past decisions of our Court should not be the impetus for radical change<br \/>\nto a bedrock branch of our nation\u2019s government.<\/p>\n<p>We urge you to withdraw this proposal from consideration. Legal scholars from across the country and on<br \/>\nboth sides of the political aisle agree that court packing will breed perpetual court packing\u2014it will never<br \/>\nbe enough. Each partisan shift will result in seats added to the Court until the Court has lost not only its<br \/>\nindependence but its authority. The end result of court packing would lead to inconsistent rulings that<br \/>\nundermine the legitimacy of the Court and fail to guide our nation and serve our states.<\/p>\n<p>The Court\u2019s decisions dramatically impact the citizens of our states every day. As governors, we stand<br \/>\nunited to preserve a system that has served us well for over a century and a half, contributing to a just<br \/>\nsociety that is the envy of the free world. As your Commission issues reports in the coming months, we<br \/>\ncall on you to rebuke any attempts to pack the Supreme Court for political gain and to protect the integrity<br \/>\nof the judiciary as a coequal branch of government.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<br \/>\nGovernor Kay Ivey<br \/>\nState of Alabama<br \/>\nGovernor Doug Ducey<br \/>\nState of Arizona<br \/>\nGovernor Ron DeSantis<br
