Every time SCOTUS does this shit, they get one step closer to impeachments, and an expansion of the court.
I used to believe we should expand it to 13 seats, but I no longer hold that belief. Now I believe that we should expand it to 29 seats. SCOTUS is too important, it shouldn’t be so small that one bad-faith president can manipulate the composition of the court so that he negatively impacts policy for the next 50 years.
29 justices, rolling term limits, so every Prez gets to appoint a few, but never enough to alter the steady progression of our society and history, with wild cultural and political swings.
