This is by far the best approach. A court of conservative lapdogs is dangerous for democracy
Rising Star
Yeah. Great idea. By the end of 2029 we'll have what? 49 judges?
Rising Star
So vote. Maybe the democrats should try to win back the rural voters instead of running up the score on the coasts. What comes around goes around. Before Obama became president the court was 7-2 republican appointees. We survived.

You should probably do some research on Supreme Court packing and how that worked out for FDR.
He was in much stronger position than the dems would be and still got beat pretty handily
Chief
FDR's plan was stopped by his own party, and he wasn't facing a pro fascism party at that time. The situation is very different bow.
OP can you help me understand? What does it mean to pack the court if they are successful?
Rising Star
It means expand the size of the court to 13 justices when Biden wins. Then it'll be 7-6 democratic appointees. Then Clarence Thomas dies and it'll he 8-5. So when biden decides not to seek a 2nd term and Harris loses because no one really likes her the next republican packs the court by adding another 4 judges and it'll be a 9-8 republican appointed majority. And like I said earlier. By the time we get to 2030 there will be 49 justices on the Supreme court.
It’s almost like a party thought of that...4 years ago!
