      this would probably be really bad even proposing it is really bad also given recent judicial nomination politics history my bet is it fails, republicans get a full sweep in 2024, and then they successfully expand it using this attempt as precedenthttps://twitter.com/theintercept/status/1382472663222878209 …

      The people will support whatever CNN tells them to, which will be whatever CCP tells it to. But they'll have to override a filibuster and somehow convince the supreme court that it's constitutional to pack that court. SCOTUS doesn't serve at the pleasure of Congress.

      We all know there's an endpoint to the discussion that makes the idea extremely bad for Democrats, but I'm convinced it would end up in front of the court first. One injunction and boom.

      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.

      article iii is a little murky but I think historical precedent (many changes in court count, we started with six and hit ten at one point) suggests there's no constitutional difficulty unless the court makes one up out of whole cloth

      That's what the left keeps saying, except to my knowledge there's never been a situation where changing the Supreme Court size was used to override that Court. Or put another way, I don't know of a time when the Court would have objected.

          Maybe, but it didn't happen. And a reasonable interpretation is that FDR didn't want to take a chance on losing.

          Replying to @eigenrobot @jcrichman @PstafarianPrice

          I don't really know what the objection would be? What's the grounds for the Court to suddenly decide that it alone has powered to select it's size, when it has been the purview of Congress since 1789?

          There is nothing in the Constitution that says it is the purview of Congress.
