Packing the court could backfire in the long run, because it dilutes the power of each vote. We won’t have any more 5-4 decisions; they will have to be 6-5 or 7-6.

You’re thinking too small. A court of final appeal that decides the big issues of the day should have 100m judges (i.e. active voters). At the the end of the day, maybe the court keeps on expanding under the different parties until we end up replacing the Supreme Court with a nationwide referendum.

But the Dems are counting on Justice Hillary getting along , jaws clenched, with Justice Elizabeth Warren and Hillary's old pal Justice Podesta. Dems always end up in a bloc unlike the GOP.
