If Trump wins he should move to pack the court.

God bless senator Cruz and the other senators proposing this amendment. Hope it gets done.

You mean they’re actually going to do something?

Good move...

Does it not now take two-thirds vote in the House and Senate and approval of three-fourths of the state legislatures before it becomes effective?

raising the standard to admit new states is more pressing IMO. the Articles of Confederation required 9 of 13 states to admit a new state. The state of Franklin received a majority of 7 votes and failed to become a state.

IF the dems get the presidency, the senate, and the house then they will pack the court and then pass a constitutional amendment preventing anyone from packing it further in the future

Truthfully, demographics suggest that 13 justices would be a much more balanced number. For example, the 9th Circuit has about 62 million people in it, but the 1st Circuit only has some 13 million people. It’s five times as large.
