How is it unconstitutional to add more justices to the court?

Its been a while since I studied US History so perhaps I am mistaken. I has always been 9, at least since the USA finshed "growing" in size.

Quite right about the cowardly/diseased msm. But I for one don't need a clarification from any source. All means all.

In my lifetime and yours? Correct, but always? No.

Over its first 80 years, Congress altered the Court's size six times, ranging from five to ten Justices, before settling at nine in 1869.

For one, you have to have the votes in Congress. The establishment wing of Trump's own party is against him and obstructing him.

How many of those 2020 ballots were real, actual, legit ballots? I wonder.


A lot weren't. Hundreds of thousands of them were recently confirmed not to be valid... long after the fact, of course. Just a "clerical error."

Trump's record in Georgia in general elections is abysmal since 2020.


I guess its just a fluke the only southern state that voted for Biden has the most questions surrounding election integrity

My plan is the best - increase it to 999 justices and spend every day the next 2.5 years approving them...

It's worked pretty well for over 150 yrs. We need an amendment to keep it at 9. Although there are probably enough blue states to block an amendment.

Because he doesn’t have the power to do so.

Because it's unconstitutional

It’s not unconstitutional to increase the size of the court, and the number of justices has been increased four times before. It is unconstitutional for the President to do so.

The Republicans should open the door for Trump to add 4.


I would love for a senator to make a bill to increase SCOTUS by four seats and watch every democrat scream. Get them on record at least for later.

Drop the bill after they go on all the talk shows and everyone screams bloody murder. At least these lying POS will be on record ...not that it matters to them.

The optic of Trump, as a lame duck, packing the court with 4 more justices, is literally painful.

There is something elegant about Trump proposing to increase the seats and beating the Dems out of the gate. It will also be wild watching them talk themselves into pretzels in an another year like they’ve done the past 15 years about the importance of the filibuster.
