WASHINGTON – The White House announced Friday that President Joe Biden will be signing an executive order to establish a committee that will focus on looking into the Supreme Court and study overhauling it, according to NBC News.

“The commission’s purpose is to provide an analysis of the principal arguments in the contemporary public debate for and against Supreme Court reform,” the White House said.
