Pete Buttigieg Says Democrats Have to Pack the Supreme Court Because it’s too Partisan (VIDEO)

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg argued on Meet the Press that the U.S. Supreme Court has become “a nakedly partisan institution.” He proposed adding six justices to the current nine-member bench to reform the court and reduce partisanship.
