Two conservatives resign from Biden's Supreme Court commission
By John Kruzel - 10/15/21 04:57 PM EDT
Two conservative members have resigned from the bipartisan panel President Biden assembled to study proposals for reforming the Supreme Court.
The departures Friday came from University of Virginia law professor Caleb Nelson, a former clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas, and Harvard Law professor Jack Goldsmith, former top official in the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel under President George W. Bush.
Nelson confirmed to The Hill that he resigned, adding “it was an honor for me to be part of the Commission.” Goldsmith did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The White House expressed its appreciation for the professors' five-month tenure on the commission, but did not provide an explanation for the departures.
