That was a practical necessity due to Justices physically riding circuit & the absence of permanent circuit-level appellate judges. It is not a coincidence that the Court's size has remained constant since those things changed in 1869. Circuit riding was fully abolished in 1891.https://twitter.com/beyerstein/status/1316775799173853186 …

My desired outcome is to neutralize the GOP theft of Supreme Court seats and their packing of the federal courts to entrench minority rule. My desired outcome is saving our democracy.

The only thing court packing refers to is adding seats so you can immediately fill them with pliable appointees. What is it with leftism and corrupting language? Are your ideas really so unpalatable you have to make up new definitions for existing terms to sell them?
