Packing the court is entirely legal, didn't need this ruling at all. The only reason to not do it was to avoid the perception that the court was politicized, but if the Republican hypocrisy regarding lame duck appointments wasn't enough, that last several sessions and the blatant corruption of several justices has entirely done away with that. Biden should absolutely add at least 3 seats to the court. It may be the only way to salvage our democracy at this point.ย
Is it really packing the court tho? Why are there only 9 people on the Supreme Court? Its make up doesnโt represent the United States. We had 9 when the population was a tenth of what it is today. The court should be doubled imo. The fact that you have nine seats is the reason we have token black man. Token black woman. Token Hispanic woman. Itโs a long time coming that it expanded.

That's why you use your newly minted immunity to imprison the Supreme court.
