The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board called out the Republican Party in a new editorial on Sunday for appearing to be asleep at the wheel as Democrats telegraph how they will wield their power if they win back the House of Representatives in November.
The editors argued that Democrats seem intent on expanding the Supreme Court to 13 justices, a move that they warned could reshape the institution into "a second progressive legislature" that would rule in their favor when certain laws can't pass through Congress. However, the Republicans seem to have little interest in stopping them, according to the editorial.
"Democrats are telling the public they are plotting one of American historys most destabilizing power grabs, by degrading the third branch of government. Why arent Republicans calling this out and defending the Court?" the editors wrote.
