Speaking to reporters, the spokeswoman did not give any timetable for the issuance of these decrees and downplayed their importance. “Nothing can close the hole left by this decision … The only way is for Congress to take action,” he said.
However, Karin Jean-Pierre hastened to clarify that although the US president commented on the Supreme Court ruling, the comment concerned the ruling itself, which is “extreme”. “Obviously, he does not question the legality of the court and respects the court …,” he said.
“In relation to the expansion of the composition of the court, it is something with which the president does not agree. It’s not something he wants to do “clarified the spokesperson.
A panel of experts set up by Joe Biden reached a stalemate last December over whether to submit a proposal to reform the structure of the Supreme Court, including expanding its composition.
