I don't see how? The number on the Court is pretty clearly up to Congress. The real issue is getting Manchin *and* Sinema to fold on the filibuster, both knowing that the moment they do, the pressure to pass this and every other progressive policy jumps tenfold.

Far as I know, literally nothing in the Constitution says that Congress can decide on a whim how many justices sit on the court. That's just something the left says when they want to overthrow democracy.

The size of the court is set by regular legislation—don’t see anyway the court could prevent it. Arguably, constitution should have set this number.
