Every Prominent Democrat both past and present are calling for President Biden to undo President Trump’s conservative majority, buy packing the SC with several liberal left wing justices .
They are calling for Biden and the Democrats to increase the number of justices from 9, to whatever, in order to give them a solid majority for, well forever.
McConnell isn’t stupid, he knows what’s at stake, he knows how these “people” operate and How they manipulate the system, he knows he cannot defeat them with the gloves on.
Maybe it’s time for McConnell to take the gloves off and beat them to the punch
Maybe McConnell should do now what the a Democrats plan to do in the future, pack the SC, this month, this week.
Increase the number of justices before the a Democrats do.

It takes the full congress to change the number of justices. Essentially, it can only be done when a party has both houses and the whitehouse. We won't see it unless the R's regain the house and keep the senate...or if Biden wins and they get the senate.

People are so fundamentally dishonest and dishonorable I wonder why God tolerates us at all.

Increase the number of justices before the a Democrats do.
Once the precedent had been set, as soon as the Democrats had the chance they'd do it again. So if the Republicans increased it to 15, the Democrats would increase it again to 21. Eventually the Supreme Court would have more members than Congress.

We'll be lucky to get the one opening filled by January, let alone add 5.

Then, what's to stop them from adding another 5 after we add 5? The real question should be, how do we set in stone the number on the Court so this game is off the table?

The only way to set it in stone is a constitutional amendment. As that would take ratification by 75% of the states, the Dems likely couldn't get it done. There are more small red states than large blue one.

The failed to rig the election so they say the electoral system is broken. A terminally ill justice dies during the term when they don't have their planned ability to appoint, so they want to change the number of Justices. The pattern is clear even without getting into their lower level issues.

Maybe it’s time for McConnell to take the gloves off and beat them to the punch
I think Mitch does get it, but he's got to manage all his members & keep them in line. There are at least 3 automatic defectors, so he really can't afford to lose anymore. I'll be happy if he can just get one justice through right now. As far as increasing the size of SCOTUS, I'm not sure that can be done w/o a constitutional amendment which requires 2/3 or 3/4 (can't remember which) of states to approve. MM

No he did not. Dingy Harry removed the 60 vote cloture rule for Federal Judges, he kept in tact the 60 vote Cloture Rule for SC Justices. It was McConnell that remove it in order to confirm Gorsuch. Even at that, this is a different animal. Add into more justices is not the same as a confirmation vote.

I understand but at the same time when dems get control of senate "our" rules will bite us in the ass. Keep it the frick how it is. Get another young constitutionalist and with the "younger " court, we are good.
