They cannot place term limits on the court without a constitutional amendment. They CAN change the number of justices by statute - the Constitution does not specify how many justices the court must/may have.

No, it does not require a constitutional amendment, and adding 4 Dem appointed justices would give them a majority on the court again (7-6).

That would be ideal. But Biden will never go for four republicans.

“Keep in mind the SC can always find the bill to expand the court UnConstitutional.”

On what grounds?

Why are you thinking it should be done with Biden in office?

It should be done when Trump is back in office.

You are a perfect example of why establishment “conservatives” keep losing decade after decade.

It won’t be done when trump is in office. That’s the problem.
