Stack the fucking court Joe. I don't care if there are 500 Supreme Court Justices.

Requires an act of congress and elimination of the filibuster. Not possible with the current makeup of the Senate. Need more blue senators, which is hard because California gets the same number of Senators as North Dakota, which has the same population as a small apartment complex in LA.

So we need record turnout for that. Vote.

Just saying, he could officially eliminate a few justices in the short term.

They had the house, the senate and the white house before the mid terms and they squandered it

Are you talking about the period in which Sinema and Manchin actively sabotaged the agenda of their own party?

Vote and volunteer to help others get to the booths if they can't on their own. We know they want to do everything they can to make voting harder for the blue. Getting the blue to stay home is their only chance of winning. If everyone votes, there is no longer a republican party. (or those that are around won't matter, they won't be able to strip rights from the American people)

Pack it, but better yet is to completely restructure it. The Constitution is extremely vague about what SCOTUS is. Just that it exists, its the highest court in the land, and Congress defines it.
