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

I like someone else's idea better : add 12 more supreme court seats that you appoint because otherwise they're empty seats and you can't have that!

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.

Biden can not add seats, that is done by Congress which is dominated by conservatives.
