Congress cannot recreate the Supreme Court of The UNited STates without agreement from all States. There is a Doctrine of Separation of Powers.
Changes in the Supreme Court such as term limits of justices would likely require a constitutional amendment.
THere will be no “packing of the court.”
The President ignored the Supreme Court on student loan debt forgiveness. Lindsey Graham, and Kamala Harris have talked about a national abortion ban (Graham) and codifying Roe (Harris) after the Dobbs decision. The state of New York clearly didn’t agree with the Bruen decision. The legislative branch, executive branch, and the states scoff at USSC decisions, why not just pack the courts without a Constitutional amendment? It’s not like anybody is going to stop it.
Who will stop them? The SCOTUS?
IMHO the will of the People are all that stands in their way.
Maybe if the pubbies and Trump get in, they can get their expanded, conservative SCOTUS.
I would laugh at that.
FDR tried that crap and may have done it if not for some SCOTUS maneuvering. https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/how-fdr-lost-his-brief-war-on-the-supreme-court-2
Given what we have seen, do you honestly believe they are playing by the rules? How much are you willing to bet on your conclusion?
The Number of Justices was not set in the Constitution. (an oversight)
Congress has expanded the number in the past, it wasn’t always 9, it’s just been 9 since shortly after the Civil War.
Only since 1869 have there consistently been nine justices appointed to the Supreme Court. Before that, Congress routinely changed the number of justices to achieve its own partisan political goals, resulting in as few as five Supreme Court justices required by law under John Adams to as many as 10 under Abraham Lincoln.
