Biden now has more than sufficient justification to expand the Court. nt

1. But he doesn't have the votes. nt

[JohnSJ]

11. I just don't understand why some do seem to understand that

[FBaggins]

2. But no more ability to do so. nt

[kwolf68]

3. So IF he does try

How will he get the votes? No chance.

[PTWB]

4. He had more than enough justification before.

But zero ability to do so given the makeup of the senate.

[Dial H For Hero]

5. The votes aren't there.

[Historic NY]

6. Would it not take 51 votes, just like it does when adding a Justice...

[Polybius]

12. No, 60

Plus Manchin is against it.

7. If he had the votes...

…it would have already happened. It would have been second on the list right after controlling the pandemic.

[Hoyt]

8. Won't happen. Even if possible, not sure we need every new Admin

changing SC if it appears to their short-term benefit. I get this Court is disgustingly unique because of trump, but that’s voters fault who didn’t show up when it counted.

9. Are you under the impression that Biden can unilaterally expand the Court?

[left-of-center2012]

10. Justification and ability are two different things

[In It to Win It]

13. Great, tell that to Congress

[brooklynite]

14. Except that he doesn't support doing so.

[Baitball Blogger]

15. Was there some breaking news late at night that I don't know about?

If the Supreme Court reverses Roe v. Wade, or further weakens it, it will have an impact on the next election.

I will say one thing about right-wing overreach. Each time they force something down our throats, there is always a counter-punch somewhere.

16. Agreed. The right loses their most powerful GOTV motivator.

And we gain a huge one.
