I am really nonplussed by the extent liberals are going to try to come up with some solution OTHER THAN court expansion.

I don't think people understand that court expansion is LITERALLY THE EASIEST thing to do, ACCORDING TO THE CONSTITUTION.
Court expansion is one freaking bill. You don't need an amendment. You don't need overturn 220 years of judicial interpretation. You don't need the Supreme Court to AGREE that your plan is constitutional!

YOU CAN JUST DO IT. PEOPLE CAN JUST VOTE ON IT AND DO IT.
Why don't people get that? This isn't... baseball. NINE is not a *special* number given to us by Hammurabi or Moses.

WIN the election. ADD justices. IT'S WHAT THE CONSTITUTION WOULD WANT YOU TO DO.
WHY are people living IN FEAR of Republicans adding more justices if they retake control of the Senate later, when Republicans have ALREADY SHOWN that NO DEMOCRATS ARE ALLOWED TO APPOINT SUPREME COURT JUSTICES WHEN REPUBLICANS ARE IN POWER?

HOW is what comes later WORSE?
