It will be difficult if not impossible to expand the court-a constitutional amendment will be required. FDR tried and failed.
If the response is to expand the supreme court to make it more democratic, shouldn’t that be the plan regardless of confirmation? I honestly don’t know enough the Supreme Court and am legit asking.

A constitutional amendment is not required as the constitution does not specify a # of justices...still very difficult as Dems would need control of leg & exec branch to change the act...and of course the potential retaliatory political moves that come as a result.

Isn’t the Supreme Court similar to the Jedi Council?pic.twitter.com/2KSYbBblE0

I do believe we need to expand voices and thoughts. I don’t know about having a more leaning court one way or another. I do want progress and I want to be sane at the same time

Maybe Mayor Pete had some good ideas?

Expansion of the # of justices on court is a short term fix for a way bigger issue. If we don’t take a serious look at E/C & voter suppression, Expansion of the seats will never matter because it’s based on false “representative” nominations/confirmations.

If the safety and security of countless people of color, LGBTQ+, women, and others rested on the ongoing service of an 87 year old cancer survivor, maybe the country is way more fucked up than we want to admit
