Sooooooo.......
I take it the people in the media so concerned about abuse of executive power with Trump's emergency declaration will speak out against this, right? Right?

This is a national emergency. 4 new justices will be needed.

The number of justices is set by Congress. Get them to set the number to more than 9........... not part of the President's powers.....

If you can't win, just change the rules. Pack the courts, abolish the Senate and electoral college.
Enemy of the people.

Why would they? Candidates for president have no power to change anything. All the media can and should do is report on this as the article you posted does.

Irrelevant. Biden rule, and he never would have been confirmed even if he got his precious vote.

Exactly, when Ginsey croaks, Trump should nominate Garland. Then have a drag him thru the mud session a la Kavanaugh, only in the end to use their 53 votes and tell him to GTFO.

Non-sense. It’s a national emergency within the presidential powers.

Such an awful idea.

If Dems are ok with it, then why wait, lets do it now

Now that's a solid point right there.

Dumb idea. When the SC starts having caucuses people will regret it.
I think 9 is a good number to have an actual discussion about things. Any more than that would be difficult to have real collaboration.

Self serving garbage by the jackasses to attempt to excite their base. Won’t happen. FDR was wildly popular and he was sharply rebuked when he floated the idea to circumvent congress.

Not yet. We have to first try and get the Congress to act. If they will not act, emergency.

National emergency.....
Unless there happens to be a Republican President and a Republican Senate when this is passed then not so much.....
