Democrats push to pack the Supreme Court, abolish filibuster, after leaked abortion draft opinion
Elizabeth Warren demanded Congress 'expand the court,' while Ocasio-Cortez turned on a fellow Democrat over the filibuster

By Tyler O'Neil | Fox News

    Prominent Democrats have demanded radical changes to the United States' system of government in the wake of the Supreme Court's leaked abortion draft opinion overturning the Roe v. Wade (1973) abortion precedent, from packing the Court to abolishing the Senate filibuster.

Chief Justice John Roberts confirmed Tuesday that Justice Samuel Alito's draft opinion in the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization was genuine – although the draft dates back to February, and it does not represent the current or final opinion of the court. In the draft, Alito strikes down Roe v. Wade, which struck down state laws across the country, and allows states to again make their own laws on abortion.

"Right-wing extremists have hijacked the Supreme Court of the United States," Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., tweeted Tuesday. "We must #ExpandTheCourt to rebalance it and defend our basic rights, including the constitutional right to an abortion."
