Just hit the wires…
Congressional Democrats plan to unveil legislation expanding the size of the Supreme Court on Thursday, according to three congressional sources familiar with the closely held measure.
The bill would add four seats to the high court, bringing the total to 13, from the current 9. The number of justices on the Court has fluctuated widely throughout the course of the nation’s history. Republicans currently hold 6 seats, while Democrats hold just 3 after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg and the quick confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
The bill is led by House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler, Subcommittee chair Hank Johnson, and freshman Rep. Mondaire Jones.
In the Senate, the bill is being championed by Ed Markey of Massachusetts.

If this passes, anyone want to guess what the final number of SC justices will be in 6 years?

First, the Dims have to get rid of the filibuster.
That is the key to expansion.

This will not happen but it is an intimidation tactic to SCOTUS.

If this passes, the poser in chief and congress will be able to act with impunity imposing draconian EO & EA with the court’s blessing.

We should completely ignore any laws manufactured under this fraudulent 50-50-1 Senate, much less a bogus packed SCOTUS.

Why? The present court configuration put then in power and is keeping them in power. There is no need to change the court, it is doing everything the Dens want.

Thinking about this, if they keep stacking the court it will become impossible for it to function. Perhaps that's the ultimate goal?
