Trump can also pack the court with 11 or 13 SCOTUS justices.

No he can't. He may not be able to get one appointment past the Democrat filibuster.

The Democrat filibuster will last as long as the Rep allow it to last, that is if they have the stones to declare a simple majority will allow for all Judicial appts to pass.

The Senate can (and should) end the whole filibuster practice tomorrow. It has no basis in Constitutional law.

If it's worth having it, then the Constitution should be amended to require a 60% vote in the Senate for any Federal law to be passed.
