[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's stopping Biden from just appointing 5 or so new SCOTUS justices?  There's nothing in the Constitution that says there can only be 9.  There's a statute that says 9, but I'm not sure how that would stop the president and Senate from just appointing and confirming a few more.[/quote]

Look if you are going to increase the court you should fit it. You do not just add 5, you add 100 and have 4-5 groups of 9 judges sit each session. Have clear and enforced conflict of interest rules and Random drawings of judges for each session. It is ridiculous how little they work each year and the amount of back logged cases. Right now it’s just a political court. [/quote]

I don't think you know what they do.  The work is hard and takes all the time they have absent a short summer break where they are still working as well.  There are no backlogged Supreme Court cases.  I think you are confusing your talking points.  Also random panels would create chaos in terms of what law to follow.  What makes this country work is that the legal system is predictable.  You may not like the outcome but you know what the outcome is likely to be.  That can be planned for.  [/quote]
