Exactly. The SCOTUS is the final bastion against this nonsense, and if the court is packed...we're finished.

The 3rd and final box is all we'll have left.

I didn’t know this until another Freeper pointed it out: The number of Supreme Court justices is not set by the Constitution. It’s set by federal law.

So a Democrat president Biden and a Democrat Congress could easily change that number to, say, 16. It could be done in a day. Then *presto* President Biden gets 7 more Supreme Court picks.

The old-time Democrats never would have gone for such a naked power grab. They, in fact, stopped FDR from trying it. But today’s Democrats will demand it.
