EXPAND the Court !! (Original Post) Rustyeye77 Oct 2020 OP
The phrasing matters. Call it expanding the court, not packing the court. tblue37 Oct 2020 #1
"Expand the court" "Reform the court" tman Oct 2020 #2

5 is too low. Somewhere between 10 and 15. Hassler Oct 2020 #5
The more accurate term would be to "unpack" the court. PSPS Oct 2020 #6

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!"
