(Reuters) - Democratic U.S. presidential nominee Joe Biden said that if elected he would put together a bipartisan commission of scholars to examine reforming a federal judiciary he called "out of whack," noting that there are alternatives to consider besides expanding the Supreme Court.

Biden, challenging Republican President Donald Trump in the Nov. 3 election, made the comments in an interview with the CBS program "60 Minutes" to air this weekend. Excerpts were released on Thursday.
