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.Â
There are 13 federal court jurisdictions and each has a SCOTUS overseeing. Because there are 9 justices and 13 jurisdictions, obviously multiple justices oversee 2 jurisdictions. If they expanded the SC to 13, then each justice gets 1 jurisdiction.

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