As Democrats reel from another painful set of defeats at the Supreme Court in recent weeks, President Biden is facing renewed pressure from a range of elements in his party, from liberal lawmakers to abortion rights activists, to more forcefully embrace far-reaching changes to the high court.

Biden has harshly criticized the Supreme Court’s sharp pivot to the right, but he has stayed away from endorsing any of the broad array of reforms — including court expansion, term limits and mandatory retirements — that are being pushed by the left flank of his party and increasingly backed by core parts of his base.

If Democrats start court packing they will lose elections

Constitution does not state how many Supreme Court members there can be.

No it doesn’t but what would be their justification for changing it?

Just so they can get their own shit passed which erodes the point of the Supreme Court and how we elect them.

FDR tried this bullshit and even the democrats chastised him for it.

It would turn the court into nothing but a political too meaning every congress who has the majority will start dropping the court down to something like three members then increase it immediately to eleven so their president can stack the court

Is that how you really want us to operate?

Maybe you idiots should have run someone better than the bitch with baggage against Trump and actually won the election instead of trying to cheat your way to an advantage

Funny how right wingers love to play hardball until it's thrown back at them.
 
I actually hope they try.

FDRs attempt to stack the court led to us passing the 22nd amendment

This would hand the election to the republicans so please attempt it!

why not overhaul the presidency......there should be three of them.....
 
There is no possible way for the democrats to change the number of justices at this time.

Many democrats are opposed to it, it would have to pass the house, and they need 60 votes in the senate to do it.

Even Biden is opposed to it so it’s not going to happen.
