Elizabeth Warren demands Congress expand Supreme Court after immunity ruling

Warren took particular aim at Monday's immunity ruling, which found that presidents have immunity for "official acts," claiming the move was made by the court's "extremist majority."

"This Supreme Court is undermining the foundations of our democracy," Warren wrote in a post on X. "Congress must restore balance by adding more justices to the Court."

Her comments were met with mixed reactions. Some users agreed, while others suggested she would not be saying such things if the court had ruled in ways she agreed with.

"So, you want to pack the court because it doesn't favor your party?" one user asked. "Adding more justices could set a risky precedent, potentially leading to further political manipulation of the Court. Instead, we should focus on ensuring fair and transparent judicial processes and uphold the integrity of our democratic institutions."

Following the court's immunity ruling, Warren said on Monday that the court's "extremist majority" presented "a threat to our freedoms and a danger to our democracy."

"No one–not even the President–can be above the law," she added. "In the short-term, we must prevent Donald Trump from returning to the White House and enacting Project 2025 and in the long-term, we must keep fighting to reform the Supreme Court, get corruption out of Washington, and restore our democracy."

"Donald Trump has already told us how far he's prepared to go to attack our democracy and rip away our freedoms," she wrote in a follow-up post, "and the Supreme Court just set him up to be even more dangerous and even less accountable."

The ruling has impacted Trump's ongoing legal battles, with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg saying he won't oppose the former president's move to delay sentencing in his business documents case. The sentencing in that case has been moved to September from its original July 11 date.
