That changed the analysis? And the answer is no, we should not

Bending over backwards to make any argument they could in Trump's favor.. Clearly The Supreme Court justices, some of them are.As corrupt as sin

... that's how screwed up SCOTUS is now

then do it. Just so they know.

I think a good term would be “rebalancing the court”. Having a Justice for each court makes sense.

But the court should definitely be expanded.

Congress should have expanded the all federal courts at least 10 years ago. Congress should assess the needs of the judiciary every 10 to 20 years.

Judges are seen as political operatives in robes so that will likely not happen.

To the 2020 election. Now I think doing so is urgent.

but now see it as imperative.

It WILL be possible if we give Biden a securely Democratic Cobgress in this year's election.

At best we have 50 Senate seats next year.

Considering the irrationality and corruption of the current court, Biden might be persuaded to change his view.

And why should we convince Biden to go against his wishes? I get it the court is corrupt but there is nothing currently we can do about it.

I began by saying that we might be able to something when we have a strong enough Dem majority.

If we get that in the coming election, why shouldn't we try to persuade Biden to approve a law that expands the court?

But, he is not God. Come to think of it, people do try to persuade God to do certain things, so trying to persuade a good president to do something is not radical. It's politics, which Joe is quite experienced at.

I am not suggesting making it a campaign issue this year. I'm only suggesting that, if we hold all 3 seats of government in November, we should consider court expansion to match the federal district courts.

The question is how?

That would still be 6-5 against us. Or should we add four? That seems pretty convenient since it would give us a majority. But what if one wasn’t particularly liberal, do we then need to add six? And we better do it fast, because who knows what the government will look like in February

That better balances the case loads then 9 judges splitting 13 districts between them.
It makes more sense to add or remove justices as judicial districts are added or consolidated.

Haele

are the gateway to the SCOTUS and arguably have more influence over the general population on a day to day basis than the SCOTUS. I have been a proponent of 1 Supervising Justice per Appeals Circuit long before RICO.

Thanks for the adjustment.

...on an emergency basis.

And I do consider this a five-alarm Constitutional emergency.

...not do you have a President who will do so.

Warranting a fresh look, by President Biden. If enough fed up repubs left the house we might just have enough Democrats. At what point do you suggest we act re the clearly mad SC?

eom

These sadists could gleefully destroy everything about the country we grew up in and our national integrity, ethics, honor and freedom will be gone and the voice of the people will be silenced. This is a travesty.

A) It looks bad in an election year.
B) It would not overcome a filibuster in the Senate, and Manchin and Sinema would not be on board anyway.
