It’s incredible to me that so many can be so ignorant of how dangerous court packing truly is. If they can expand the court to 13 justices, can we expand it to 113 next time we have a solid conservative in the White House and a Congress willing to play ball?
What happens to the balance on the court then? Sure, they could potentially do this in the short term, but the long term consequences for the country are so terrible that they shouldn’t even be considering this, let alone talking about it. It’s an insane idea that can only lead to disaster.
Potentially you would end up with parallel legislature but dressed in judicial robes.
