President Biden said he won’t expand the Supreme Court because doing so would “politicize” the court in an unhealthy way. But it’s a political institution by its nature — and a disturbingly undemocratic one.

What is the worst Republicans can do if the Dems did expand the court? Expand it further?

I can only imagine such a thing would lead to better and fairer results

Maybe have the new justices vote on some sort of involuntary, non dis-chargeable, clear language, ethical code that everyone who joins signs? Maybe mandatory minimum sentences if they break it?

I’d bet $1 on Trump winning the next election and then expanding the court. Just think about whatever the worst likely scenario is; that’s also the most probable. The Republicants have spent 30 years de-educating and numbing America.
