      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 …

      One justice per federal circuit court is what the creators of the Supreme Court intended. Time for 13 justices, one for each circuit. https://twitter.com/whstancil/status/1316753440198946828 …

      The Supreme Court has changed to meet the needs of different eras, and it's going to keep changing to remain relevant to our large, complex and growing polity.

      By which you mean your desired outcomes. Let's not pretend this is anything else.

      ...you say as if conservative "originalism" isn't entirely about manipulating the historical record to make the Constitution agree with your desired outcomes.

      The Senate Judiciary committee literally risked their lives to confirm their preferred justice before the election. To ensure their desired outcomes.

      Why would the GOP majority run roughshod over norms and the rules of the senate itself, seeking to confirm the nominee after a ridiculous 4 days of hearings, if they don't expect to get outcome goodies out of it?

      A ridiculous 4 days? Until relatively recently, there were no hearings. Ginsburg's hearings, which Biden & Kagan ran, were 4 days. Breyer's were 4 days. Kagan's were 4 days. Sotomayor's were 4 days. Historic norms are on the R side:https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/08/history-is-on-the-side-of-republicans-filling-a-supreme-court-vacancy-in-2020/ …

          There's a lot less consensus on this pick than there usuall is and the balance of the court is a stake. The time between nomination and hearings has also been ridiculously compressed to do it before the election leading to shoddy vetting.

          "Less consensus" is another way of saying that Democrats are unwilling to cross the aisle in the way that some Republicans were even on Kagan & Sotomayor.

          Except every Republican "norms are on our side" argument is completely undermined by the Merrick Garland incident. As soon as Graham & co. went back on their promise to not confirm a justice in an election year discussion of norms went out the window. It's now just hypocrisy.
