Don& #39;t call it court-packing. Call it court-updating. We& #39;ve had 9 justices since the US was sparsely populated.
And do it in a way that doesn& #39;t spark an arms race: Example, Biden adds a few seats, then two seats added every 4 years until no single justice has too much power.

Okay, yeah, I& #39;m assuming Biden will win. I& #39;m also assuming McConnell will ram another justice through.
Others are so much better at marketing than I am

The idea was for judges to be able to do what was right without worrying about reelection. It was supposed to put the court above politics.
At times it has actually worked. Desegregation would have ben harder if federal judges had to answer to voters. https://twitter.com/kpcruz/status/1307468335005741059">https://twitter.com/kpcruz/st...

Here& #39;s">https://twitter.com/Inquisiti... why it& #39;s better: With an entire branch of government divided only 9 ways, each justice has way too much power, particularly because they have lifetime appointments.
A larger court means that not every justice hears every case. Panels would form.
