He doesn't care about us. None of them do. The only time he's done anything to actually stand up against the rising tide of shit we're all experiencing has been to defend his own son.

The supreme Court has given him incredible power, and he's a lame duck president. He should be doing everything possible to make improvements for us and ruin Trump's agenda, but instead he's going to throw up his hands and ride off into the sunset with his failson.

Probably best to just reduce it by 5. Messily.

Knowing the Democrats, they would probably get the expansion then fail to confirm any judges, allowing Trump to fill every seat.

Nah the dems would fill every seat. They'd still give republicans a majority to reach over the aisle

Has to be one fell swoop

Or get them confirmed, then trump comes in and add 100 justices.

And if elections still exist, the next democrat adds 200 justices.

Eventually, supreme court becomes larger than congress.

We can all be on the supreme Court!

See you there

Sincerely, your fellow supreme court member, Justice [ERROR: Name Corrupted - SupremeCourt.exe has crashed due to excessive size]

Sure, why not? I feel incredibly under represented knowing 9 unelected people get to decide for hundreds of millions.

Funny, but pardons are explicitly written in the constutution, there is zero ambiguety.

Supreme court expantion needs congress.

Besides, whats the point, trump and republican congress is just gonna expand it to 100 justices.

Just do a national divorce already, maybe the piece of shit known as MTG was right after all. The infection has gone too far, need to amputate like half of the country.

Splitting the country in half would only lead to more problems. Countries with strong disagreements being situated side-by-side leads to increased conflict. It's why colonialists love drawing up terrible borders for places they leave "independent".
