probably not likely. This sounds good but when you get down to ..who can do this? There is no answer.

justices. That would have to be amended. To do so would require a majority vote of the senate, which means the filibuster would have to be abolished, so that the act could be amended. Then, once the number of judges has been amended, the President's appointments could be voted in by a simple majority.

Along with the political will and courage.

That’s why the following three items should be litmus tests for all Dem candidates:

1) support codifying Roe/repealing Comstock Act
2) support expanding SCOTUS to at least 13 seats, with enforceable ethics rules
3) support killing the filibuster to pass 1 and 2

If Biden can’t get this done in his second term, give President Whitmer House and Senate majorities in 2029, and she will.

She is impressive.

I hope and will back all these needed changes.
There needs to be a plan.

She will be termed out in 2028, IIRC, (or is it 2026?) so what better time for her to take the next logical step?

A huge fight that will eventually be decided...by...guess what body of nine members?

The size of the court has expanded and contracted over the lifetime of the Constitution- the members of SCOTUS cannot obstruct a law that regulates them or the number of seats on the court.

If the act passes, Biden fills the new vacancies, and the other justices have no say.

Basic frost hurdle is enough yes voting senators who would approve discarding the filibuster. This term we only had 50 and have had to cooperate w the GOP on rules. We will need 51 yes votes on ditching the filibuster. Then we will need a good house majority. It's a nice 'idea', but a lot has to happen for it to be enacted. We need to focus on Get Out The Vote, we can worry about cool schemes after the election.

I posted a similar post earlier. Most said it just cannot be done. That's BS! With a few repubs help the process can begin (I know there are some of them that are now disgusted). I personally don't believe Biden should wait till after the election. With the supreme court we have now I no longer trust our chances like I did just a week ago. Take off the gloves, imo. If there's enough of an uproar perhaps the message will reach President Biden and/or his staff. I would hope it already has. But we CANNOT stay quiet anymore. Perhaps we need a "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore " moment across the country. We h as ve been frogs in a pot. Little by little we have come very close to losing our Democracy. We must think outside the box. They certainly are.

Easy steps. 1. Break the filibuster, which requires just a simple majority vote in the Senate. That's pulling a trigger, but it takes that every now and then to get things done. 2. The senate amends the judiciary act to increase the number of seats on the Supreme Court by majority vote. One vote is a majority. That means either Sinema or Manchin plus Kamala Harris. Or just lame duck Sinema and Manchin. Manchin can finally do one beneficial, Democratic party supported thing before he goes off into oblivion, never to be seen in politics again. 3. The President appoints judges to fill the new vacancies, requiring just a one vote majority.

Keep voting blue.

Writer is more bonkers than Trump.

The Supreme Court has already been packed. Those who want to right that wrong had better damn well stop saying, "Let's pack the Court!"

Fair-minded people of all political persuasions will recoil at proposals to "pack" the Court. If the proposal is framed that way, it will not only fail, but it will drag down Democrats in general.

How about - let's make the number of justices equal the number of Appellate courts. 13.

feet, as smelly as they are, and they are blatantly ignorant of protocol, when a Justice is biased and won't excuse himself. I just lost all respect for the Supreme Court, and I don't trust them at all. They will rule on minority positions in their favor, ignoring the vast majority of us. They don't represent the rule of the land. They represent themselves. Have they lost their sense of way, their purpose in upholding the law instead of making new law as they seem to be doing?

While he was a candidate for the Democratic Party's nomination for President in 2020 he proposed expanding the court to 15 with 5 each reserved for the Democratic and Republican party to nominate and five that had to be agreed upon by the other 10 justics. Now THAT'S fair and balanced.

On the other hand, my (tongue-in-cheek) proposal is six bullets, 3 resignations and the swift confirmation of 9 twenty-something ultra-liberal justices. That should fix the problem for over 50 years.

If the three Trump appointees were really interested in preserving the court's integrity, and in enforcing the rule of law, they would have recused themselves from this case. The fact that they haven't completely discredits them as attorneys and judges.
