Amen. “Packing the court” is a perfectly legal procedural maneuver, just like, you know, refusing to vote on the opposite party’s nominees. Republicans have been using procedural maneuvers for the last 5 years to ensure that their party’s nominees had an outsized influence on the judiciary. Court packing is a taste of their own medicine, nothing more.

No way. That would mean the republican party is nothing but a bunch of hypocrites.
If Biden wins and there is a Democratic majority in the Senate, they absolutely need to increase the size of the court. Increase it to 13 and seat 4 new judges who are all no older than 55. Of course that is a pipe dream because there is no boldness in the Democratic party.
I think it may happen. The thing we need to pound into the Centrist skull is if we add 1 we might as well add 6 because the Nazis are going to start shooting up the Circle K either way.
We may well win a string of Presidencies now, assuming we are able to do something about the EC by at the least adding PR and DC.Last edited by Kepler; 10-11-2020, 09:39 PM.Cornell University

As long as the votes are counted we will win, both the White House and the Senate. But that is only step one. Please contact your Democratic senators and let them know this time we expect some truly bold action. Go big or get the fvck out of there. 4 additional Supreme Court justices, a new, sweeping voting rights act, new laws allowing for much more robust federal oversight of rogue law enforcement and criminal justice reform. Please write your Senators now and after election day as well. We must make waves in 2021 and 2022. This is literally the future of this country and the world we are talking about.

Also, it gives us breathing room. Right now we will be 3-6. Do you really only want to be 7-6? I want at least 9-6. We need a margin if something happens.
Politically 6 = 4 = 1. It's all the same once we create seats. So, you want boldness? Then f-ck it. 6.
You might be able to argue me up to 16.

The two justices Trump has put on the Court to date replaced justices appointed by Reagan.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.
