    Pete Buttigieg says he wants more Supreme Court justices who are like Justice Kennedy. The same Justice Kennedy who voted to uphold Trump's Muslim ban, voted for the Janus decision gutting labor unions, and voted to uphold voter suppression in Husted pic.twitter.com/zeDtWUVQpz

        That may not even be the dumbest part of the plan! The idea that the "extra" five depend on unanimous approval of the rest of the Court is just gibberish.

        Let's take the least representative and democratically accountable branch of government and give it the power to choose its own members.

        There's a tweet I can't find, I first saw it from Chapo-land, about how liberals don't even take power when they fantasize about taking power.

        Think it was something Matt said on the podcast when talking about The West Wing.

        Is that what he is really saying? I read this and believe Pete is simply citing justices and other legal scholars who agree that the expansion of the court to 15 justices could happen.

        I'm not a lawyer, but Kennedy's Citizens United and Kelo decisions are two of the worst things I've ever read. Completely divorced from the realities of how this country actually works.
