Who holds the Senate controls the USSC. With RBG and Breyer and possibly even Thomas looking to retire, if Trump wins in 2020 we're safe. If Trump loses, then the GOP needs to hold the Senate.
With all the bragging from right wingers about Trump's choices for the Supreme Court, the irony of complaining about court stuffing is just dripping from every post.
Not seeing "irony"? Keeping the USSC at 9 justices is normal. Adding justices so the USSC is 11, 13 or even 15 members is what is termed "packing". FDR tried to get as many as 15 justices, but that plan was rejected by the House and Senate as interfering with the independence of the courts.With all the bragging from right wingers about Trump's choices for the Supreme Court, the irony of complaining about court stuffing is just dripping from every post.

BRIA 10 4 a FDR Tries to "Pack" the Supreme Court - Constitutional Rights Foundation
"On February 5, 1937, President Franklin Roosevelt announces a controversial plan to expand the Supreme Court to as many as 15 judges, allegedly to make it more efficient. Critics immediately charged that Roosevelt was trying to “pack” the court and thus neutralize Supreme Court justices hostile to his New Deal."

G'morning billy. Happy Daylight Savings Time Day! The threats and anger over SCOTUS stuffing by Congress depends on who holds the Oval Office. The name Merrick Garland will (and should be) be floating around cyberspace long after I'm gone as a rallying cry. The FACT that Orrin Hatch personally prevented some 64 judgeship appointees to even clear committee during Clinton makes Republican voices that are throbbing with cherry-picked patriotism seem a tad ironic. And I can guarantee you that you will not see true justice in America if any more Ellis-type judges hit the bench. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like it, what with your 'the law is the law' attitude.With all the bragging from right wingers about Trump's choices for the Supreme Court, the irony of complaining about court stuffing is just dripping from every post.

^Not that I think it's a good idea I have to wonder what the remedy could be for how republicans have betrayed the supposedly nonpartisan spirit of American jurisprudence.

That would be an open declaration of war on the U.S. Constitution.

McConnell held a SCOTUS seat open for a year in order to deny Garland, a moderate, a seat...and then changed filibuster rules in order to seat Gorsuch and Kavanaugh...both right wing partisansNot that I think it's a good idea I have to wonder what the remedy could be for how republicans have betrayed the supposedly nonpartisan spirit of American jurisprudence.
