Democrats would destroy Supreme Court with scheme to pack justices
Joe Biden has not buried this move if he wins.

Turley is no friend of conservatives, but he is someone we can all trust. He does not fashion responses to satisfy political ends.
To that end, his conclusion on this matter is worth noting:
For the court-packing scheme proposed by vice presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and others to work, there must be some form of litmus test. Democrats have pledged to add six new justices to guarantee a court that will vote to uphold or overturn cases as expected. Absent such guarantees, court-packing is a futile exercise; the whole point is to force outcomes like voting to uphold Roe. This court-packing rationalization has reached truly Orwellian levels, with former White House counsel John Dean insisting that, by manufacturing a new ideological court majority, Democrats would “depoliticize” it.
Litmus-testing and court-packing would “honor" Ginsburg by destroying the court she loved. It would obliterate an institution that has preserved this country’s stability and continuity. The court has performed this vital role based on its legitimacy and authority with Americans — a legitimacy that will evaporate if Democrats impose litmus tests or pack the court.
And that is the case, because you can bet that if the court is packed by the democrats, the GOP will one day pack the court for the EXPRESS purposes of overturning those court cases.
Bye bye....justice.
