Packing the court would have to withstand judicial challenge at SCOTUS itself.
It is unconstitutional and where would it end? Each new party would simply come in and appoint enough judges to have the majority and by the time my kids die SCOTUS would look like the Senate and eventually congress.
That is not what our constitution prescribed. If they did it at SCOTUS they could do it at the circuit courts also. It would be a mess.

If Congress and the president agree to 47 justices, it will be so.
It betrays constitutional ignorance to say otherwise.
Why would it be unconstitutional? The size of the Supreme Court has changed several times in history by acts of Congress. I’m not familiar with any successful challenge on constitutional grounds, and the Constitution itself doesn’t specify a size for the Supreme Court.
