A 36-member commission set up by President Joe Biden to study the U.S. Supreme Court was expected to release a draft report today, the White House announced. The commission will hold a public meeting tomorrow and a final report will be submitted to Biden in mid-November. The White House previously said that the commission's purpose is to “provide an analysis of the principal arguments in the contemporary public debate for and against Supreme Court reform, including an appraisal of the merits and legality of particular reform proposals," adding that commissioners would examine such options as term limits for justices, changing the size of the court and altering its case selection, rules and practices.
