It’s my understanding that there is no set number for the number of justices. I could be wrong, but I seem to recall that FDR threatened to pack the court if he didn’t get his way. They caved. And The dems controlled congress at the time so, he could have done it.
Getting Hillary passed the Senate... Well, good luck with that.

“Hmm, I suppose that one of the justices might have to retire first, but hey, rules don’t mean much to this White House...”
Now that the GOP controls both Houses, yes. But, the Constitution is ambiguous on the number of Justices allowed on the Supreme Court. In fact, FDR attempted to pass legislation allowing up to an additional six, one for each justice over seventy and sux months. But, it didn’t pass.
I guess she wasn’t wise enough and Latina enough or could it be that she got fired from her job investigating Watergate because of her unethical and potentially criminal behavior?
I wish her address was in Myanmar!
Bubba was disbarred for 5 years. And could never practice in front of the Supreme Court.
If patriots continue their momentum from the last election and work to get 2/3 pro-Constitution majority control of the Senate in 2016, then patriots can “light a fire” under RINO-controlled Congress to start removing activist justices from the bench.

Many states now have added mandatory education to their registration agenda.
The “leaders” in the GOP would gladly confirm her.
As far as I can tell that picture is not of Chris Stevens.
What should scare one is President Hillary appointing Obama to the SCOTUS.
I just had a scary thought....
Hillary gets to be Pres., Ginsberg retires, Obama on the Supreme Court.
95% of USSC cases have nothing to do with rewriting the Constitution. They are mostly corporate law. And BORING.
Hillary! is not qualified and she is definitely not interested in working that hard.
"Hmm, I suppose that one of the justices might have to retire first, but hey, rules don’t mean much to this White House..."
When discussing Hillary, "retirement" may have a more onerous meaning. Hope the existing Supremes have their insurance and security measures updated.
Because Biden is begging him to?
