China News Agency, Washington, April 9th ​​(Reporter Chen Mengtong) US President Biden signed an executive order at the White House on the 9th, announcing the establishment of a cross-party committee to conduct research on reforms such as the number of US Supreme Court justices.

　　The White House issued a statement on the same day that the committee was established to analyze controversial views on the reform of the U.S. Supreme Court and evaluate the legality of specific reform proposals.

His research topics include the length of office of justices of the Supreme Court, the scale of the number of justices, and the selection and ruling of the case by the Supreme Court.

　　The Supreme Court of the United States has no term limit.

Former President Trump appointed three justices, Gorsay, Cavano and Barrett.

This makes the ratio of "conservative" and "liberal" justices of the Supreme Court of the United States 6:3.

This is also regarded by public opinion as the most dramatic "ideological change" in the US judicial system in the past 30 years.

　　Although Biden has not yet made a clear statement on the "co-election" of the Supreme Court Justice, once the executive order was issued, it was interpreted by the American media as the White House's intention to "test the waters" of public opinion on this issue.

The Associated Press pointed out that changing the number of Supreme Court justices requires Congress to approve.

Since the American Civil War, the number of Supreme Court justices has been nine. "Any effort to change this number will be explosive."

　　The committee is composed of 36 legal experts, scholars and former federal judges.

The White House counsel Bob Bauer during the Obama administration and Cristina Rodriguez, a professor at Yale University Law School, served as the committee's co-chairs.

　　The executive order requires that the committee will hold a public meeting to listen to the different opinions of relevant experts and social groups, and complete the evaluation report within 180 days after the meeting.

　　Regarding Biden's decree, American conservatives believe that it is a "red flag" for the Democratic Party to try to regain control of the supreme law.

They pointedly pointed out that Biden's move was a threat to the foundation of the US Constitution.

　　White House Press Secretary Psaki said at a press conference on the 9th that Biden hopes that the committee's report will reflect different views on the reform of the Supreme Court, and this report will "influence his thinking and next decision."
