Former Vice President Kamala Harris faced swift Republican backlash after calling on Democrats to consider expanding the Supreme Court and gutting the Electoral College the next time they are in power. ---- "Let’s invite ideas, for example, that are about Supreme Court reform, including the notion of expanding the court," Harris said on a call with the left-wing nonprofit Emerge. "Let’s invite a discussion about how do we push for statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C.; how are we thinking about the Electoral College." ---- Speaker Johnson said Democrats want to 'blow up the system' because they lost, calling it 'a dangerous gambit ---- The 2024 presidential candidate’s ideas drew a sharp rebuke from House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., who accused Democrats of being "institutional arsonists." "It's a dangerous thing, a dangerous gambit," the speaker said. "You don't just blow up the system when you lose." ---- "For the former vice president of the United States and a candidate for president to suggest that you should pack the Supreme Court or destroy these institutions because they lost is I just think outrageous," he added. ---- https://www.foxnews.com/politics/harris-labeled-institutional-arsonist-plan-fundamentally-transform-scotus-electoral-college
