They've pretty openly admitted it already, correct?

Why would they? They know Republicans aren't going to pack the court, so there's nothing for them to be scared of.

Democrats doing this would only handcuff themselves.

I don’t think that’s how constitutional amendments happen, huh?

I think the USSC should be an even number of judges, for reasons that I have shared here.

But regardless. Who says 9 is the magic number? Why not 99? There are hundreds of millions more people here now compared to when the US was founded.

I’d be all for it if they gave the justices term limits too

Unlike Congress "Justice" and the judicial branch aren't tied to populations to be represented, so what would the purpose of adding additional be? Hint it's not the "millions more people"

What would even be the point of having 99 judges.

Why not 2701 and they all vote by mail?

This is a joke. Nine justices is plenty. Democrats will try anything to gain control and we all know it. Stupidity reigns supreme with them.

If (yes, BIG if) republicans win midterms, they should just go ahead and openly and rapidly plan to expand SCOTUS to 15 and watch how fast the Dems decide 9 is a good number

The DSA is vile. Hopefully the wookalar Klan goes so far left so fast that only their most radical can support their commie march further left.

We tried to have a Southern Confederate States of America and the USA wouldn't let us have it.

Now, if the Dems pack the SCOTUS and "the Republic" truly does die because of this, don't blame the Confederate States of America.

Don’t think it will ever happen. The Democrats would have to control both legislative chambers and the presidency and nuke the filibuster.

If they get power and rig every thing (court, DC and P.R. statehood,electoral college) then commence to destroying our country with no way to stop it We will look back to the traitorous Republicans refusing to blow up the filibuster and get shite done. It's my contention that had they done that and fixed shite by the time to pick another President people would see the positive changes like in El Salvador and realize they were the problem
