(65,483 posts)1. The phrasing matters. Call it expanding the court, not packing the court.

(983 posts)2. "Expand the court" "Reform the court"
Don't let the GOP & Media frame the narrative, but I agree.

(1,580 posts)7. Re balancing the court
Although I actually agree with Biden's idea to be cautious and appoint a committee to look into it. But even more than a rebalancing of conservative liberal ideology is that there is a corruption in the court through the federalists that Whitehouse pointed out to us in the hearings.

Dems need to show that they will not roll over. I think even Republicans will say they deserved it, after the fact.

The founders established six justices for 3 circuits.
There are now 13 circuits.
We can compromise on 13 justices.
"Each circuit deserves a justice!"
