Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States
The Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States (PCSCOTUS), also known informally as the Supreme Court commission, was a Presidential Commission established by U.S. President Joe Biden to investigate the idea of reforming the Supreme Court. It will provide a nonpartisan analysis of "the principal arguments in the contemporary public debate for and against Supreme Court reform". The commission was established through Executive Order 14023, issued on April 9, 2021. According to the order, the commission must issue a report within 180 days of its first public  meeting, which took place May 19, 2021. The commission was established several months after Amy Coney Barrett was nominated to the Supreme Court by then-president Donald Trump. This nomination was controversial, as it happened less than two months before the 2020 United States presidential election, and Republicans in 2016 had invoked the seldom-used Thurmond rule to block the nomination of Merrick Garland.
