"Crockett did not argue for an impartial Supreme Court. She argued for a Supreme Court that supports Democrat policy preferences, and when it does not, she labels it “trash” and demands expansion. By aligning herself with Democrats like Schiff and Warren, Crockett made clear that court-packing is no longer a fringe position but a central goal for her party."

So, the Democrats are lining up to pack the court with FOUR more "Jacksons" when they control the three branches again?

Should Trump say, "I agree with the Democrats. Have the House and Senate send me the bill. I'll sign it". The constitution allows this, but I'm not sure enough Rinos would vote for it. At least it would expose the Dems who support it as the hypocrites they are by voting it down now or causing enough outrage that it doesn't get to a vote.

This may be the only sure opportunity the Republicans have to do it. We know the Dems would if they were in this position.

Trump could try packing it himself just to engineer some court rulings against it.

Trump should say "Ok, if that's what you want: We're bumping it to 13 right now. I'll pick four more conservative justices right now. Thank you for your attention to this matter."

There's zero reason for this other than a naked power grab. "We don't have a majority to advance our agenda so we need to add more justices on our side." frick off.

IMHO, the Dems must and will move on this issue as soon as they have the power to do so.

Total conquest of the US Judiciary should be their goal. It's been amply demonstrated during these Trump years that the best way to stop any future Trump or MAGA-man is through the Judiciary.

Criminal proceedings against any future MAGA-man will be administered by the US Judiciary, which makes Leftist complete conquest of that entity to be all the more useful.

Any future MAGA-man with hopes of saving the USA will know that a Conquered Judiciary will not only block all of his efforts, but, also, will thrust him into federal prison for a very long time.

That should be enough to snuff out the Right Wing Resistance.

Terrorists will stop at nothing to accomplish their end goals. They do not abide by rules or norms or historical precedent. There is only one way to defeat them.

The GOP won't support Trump on this.

In fact, the mainstream GOP will be glad if the Dems take Congress in the med terms.

Banana Republic politicians want a Banana Republic. It's not difficult to understand.

I tend to agree with Thomas Jefferson who wrote to William Stephens Smith in a letter dated November 13, 1787 that “the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." If the non-thinking politicians push things then history could repeat itself. If not in our lifetimes then certainly down the road.

Once you get into the spiral of expansion and counter expansion, SCOTUS will eventually become another legislature.

Who decides which seats are eliminated, the Chief Justice?

Which is why any republicans who refuse to go scorched earth now are just useful idiots for the democrats.

Refusing to take drastic measures isn't going to stop the democrats from taking them.

Why just four more? Can they justify the number? I would like it to be 4 million more so that every neighborhood will be well presented.

Crockett is so ignorant that she isn't capable of seeing the Marxist true intentions. If and when they regain power, packing the Supreme Court will be the lesser of evils they enact.
