Failing that, progressives say their only method of retaliation would be to capture the White House and Congress and add seats to the Supreme Court.

...and then watch as Republicans play the same trick themselves later.

Republicans will never get in the White House again if the Dems pack the court. Every legislative measure enacted by Republicans will be challenged and overturned by a renegade SCOTUS.

What happens if the number of Justices is reduced from 15 to 9. Would seniority come into play? Those junior would be found redundant and sent packing?

If Democrats court pack, there won’t be a later. Court packing is crossing the Rubicon.

I expect a Supreme Court to have 1,467,312 jurists by the year 2050.

No, wait, 1,467,313. In case there’s a tie.
