Justice Stephen Breyer warned Democrats to think “long and hard” before trying to expand the Supreme Court.

Breyer, speaking to students and faculty at Harvard Law School on Tuesday, said he sought “to make those whose initial instincts may favor important structural (or other similar institutional) changes, such as forms of ‘court-packing,’ think long and hard before embodying those changes in law.”
