They want to pack the SCOTUS with 4 extra justices, and need 60 Senators and a supermajority in Congress to do it

If Biden wins and dems take the senate via mail-in fraud and hold the house, all it takes to change the senate rules is a simple majority vote to change the 60 vote rule. Then all they need is a law (not a Constiutional amendment) to change the number of SCOTUS judges to whatever number they want. It may even work with 50 dem senators plus VP Kamala's tiebreak vote.

This sort of court packing intention will move the justices to the left. None of them want their power diluted. No need to pack the court if the existing court concedes.

FDR's court packing intention resulted in obscene and intellectually corrupt expansion of federal power, mangling of the plain language of the constitution by SCOTUS.

It makes it easier for them to do it if they have a supermajority. It also allows a few Dems who need to survive re election in tough states in 2022 to vote against it.
