Sen. Mike Lee predicts constitutional crisis, 'invasion' of Supreme Court from 'pro-abortion Left' after Roe
Many Democrats have called for packing court to eliminate the conservative majority

The Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, ending the 49-year-old nationwide right to seek an abortion, raises the question: what will the Left do next?
In his recent book "Saving Nine: The Fight Against the Left’s Audacious Plan to Pack the Supreme Court and Destroy American Liberty," Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, who is facing two Republican challengers in his state’s primary next week, foresees radical consequences from SCOTUS' decision.
"If the pro-abortion Left doesn’t like the decision, we might soon find ourselves in the midst of a constitutional crisis," Lee writes.
"[T]he stage has been set for an invasion of the Supreme Court. There is money pouring in from progressive organizations all over the place. Those organizations are pressuring Democratic lawmakers to attack the judiciary. Their stated goal is to increase the size of the Supreme Court from nine justices to thirteen or more. As of this moment, public opinion is against them. But they are well aware that, if they can convince enough Americans that the Supreme Court has acquired, in the words of Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the ‘stench’ of politics, then they might be able to convince enough of them," Lee wrote.
Many Democratic lawmakers are now calling for exactly that in the wake of Friday's Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health decision.
