The same day the preliminary findings were released, two conservatives resigned.

Caleb Nelson and Jack Goldsmith, two conservatives on the Supreme
Court Commission, both announced their resignations Friday.

The Hill reported:

    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 released a statement on the resignations:

    “These two commissioners have chosen to bring their involvement to
a close,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement. “We
respect their decision and very much appreciate the significant
contributions that they made during the last 5 months in terms of
preparing for these deliberations.”

The report from Biden’s Supreme Court Commission angered Liberals in Congress.

In a statement, some Liberals lawmakers said that the draft report
“misses the mark.”

The Epoch Times reported:

    Left-wing lawmakers are angered by the draft report put out by the
Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States
(PCSCUS) on expanding the Supreme Court.

    Progressive members of the House Judiciary Committee chairman
Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), and Reps. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) and Mondaire
Jones (D-N.Y.) said the commission’s report is insufficient and
Democrats need to pass a law to pack the court.

    “The White House Commission on the Supreme Court ‘draft’ misses
the mark. After years of Republicans upending precedent, breaking
their own rules, and stealing seats on the Supreme Court, we must
restore legitimacy and integrity to the Court and undo the damage
Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell have inflicted on our democracy,”
said the lawmakers in a press statement.
