Do it. DO IT.

First, some legal scholars, are calling on Democrats to commit to “pack the Court” by adding new seats to the Court as soon as Democrats recapture the presidency and Congress—and filling those seats with extra Democratic-appointed justices. These calls preceded Kennedys’ retirement (they began shortly after President Trump was inaugurated, as Josh Blackman observed at the time). But they seem to be taking on new urgency now: Fordham’s Jed Shugerman, for example, announced on Twitter that if President Trump succeeds in appointing a replacement for Kennedy, then the next Democratic president and Congress should add six(!) new seats to the Supreme Court in 2021. (And abolish the filibuster for legislation, if it’s necessary to get the six bonus seats.) Ian Samuel, a Harvard Law fellow, staked out a similar position immediately upon Kennedy’s retirement.

It’s hard to think of a better way to galvanize Trump-skeptical Republicans for the 2020 vote than to preemptively announce a Democratic court-packing agenda for 2021. If law professors hadn’t started vowing that the next Democratic president would “pack the court,” then a pro-MAGA Super PAC would have made it up.

In this case, Shugerman’s court-packing agenda is particularly ironic given his vocal denunciation, just months ago, of a conservative professor’s harebrained proposal to pack the lower courts with new judicial seats—which was, as Shugerman noted, a transparent move toward “undoing President Obama’s judicial legacy.”

But irony aside, everyone should pause at the notion of overhauling the Supreme Court’s structure in a fit of partisan pique. The Court has had nine seats since the mid-19^th Century; next April marks the 150^th anniversary of the Judiciary Act of 1869, which fixed the Court at that number.

Nine isn’t a magic number, and the Court can function perfectly well for extended periods of time with fewer justices, as I noted in 2016. But to legislate partisan changes to the Court’s structure will simply inaugurate a new era of further escalations. Shugerman’s 15-justice court under the next Democratic president would become an 18-justice court under the next Republican president.

Oh yeah...love this idea! 

These clowns just can't help stepping on their own dicks.

Unreal.  The Super Bowl has been over for 18 months and the Dems are still on the field trying to cange the rules, repaint the lines and move the goal posts to change the final score.   

It's amazing.  STILL amazing to watch.

15 justices would be just fine,  then randomly select 7 or 9 to here the cases that was presidents with agendas can't pack the court R or D because end of the day the courts not supposed to be political
