Shapiro Calls for Supreme Court Reform, Backing Potential 13-Justice Expansion

Josh Shapiro said on MSNBC that the Supreme Court needs “radical reform,” arguing Americans are not adequately represented across the three branches of government.
The Pennsylvania governor tied that demand to the court’s recent rulings, saying its birthright-citizenship case “should have taken a nanosecond” and should have been decided 9-0.
Shapiro’s remarks place him alongside other Democrats who have floated structural changes to the court, including proposals to expand it from 9 justices to 13 under a future Democratic trifecta.
The debate comes even as the current court has recently ruled against President Donald Trump on issues including birthright citizenship and tariffs, underscoring the political fight over the court’s role and legitimacy.
