Our founding fathers gave us a pretty sweet setup. A constitution that is still applicable today and helps us run our country. But, unfortunately, they didn’t set a max number of Justices for the Supreme Court, as it would have prevented our current predicament. Our Politicians used to understand that they should not be messing with the supreme court as it sets a precedent for the other party to do the same when they are in Office. So since 1869, the court has remained at nine Justices. FDR did try to add six Justices to the court, but apparently, Congress had more scruples back then. So now Dems are trying to expand the court by four so that they will have the majority. But they don’t like the term “court-packing” because that’s way too honest.
Senator McConnell commented on Dems decision to add four seats.
“… in recent years we’ve seen Democratic leaders stand on the steps of the court and threaten that specific justices ‘won’t know what hit em’ if they didn’t rule the way they wanted. We’ve seen a number of Democratic senators send threatening briefs suggesting the court might need to be ‘restructured’ if its rulings upset liberals.”
“They are introducing a bill to add four new seats to the Supreme Court so that Democrats can pack the court, destroy its legitimacy and guarantee the rulings that liberals want.”
“The late liberal icon JusticeRuth Bader Ginsberg explicitly warned against court-packing, “if anything would make the court appear partisan, it would be that. Nine seems to be a good number.'”
And it’s not just the GOP that doesn’t want court-packing, according to a recent poll Americans don’t either.
“One survey late last year showed a clear majority of Americans oppose packing the Supreme Court, but the farthest left activists aren’t interested in the common good, they want power,” the senator said. “The same Democrats and the same corporate media that spent the last four years hyperventilating and declaring a new constitutional crisis was underway every 30 seconds seem to be perfectly content to play along.”

Every time the Supreme Court has been altered it has always been about trying to gain a political advantage. From 1869 until now, Americans knew better regardless of their party. But now Dems are about to abuse their power and modify the SCOTUS. They clearly are about to make some serious changes to our country, hopefully, our country can endure it.
