Yes, but it`s not going to do much good if the two additional justices are simply replacing the Kennedy and Thomas seat.
If Trump wins a second term and the Rep. hold the senate he`ll very likely the Ginsberg seat and possibly the one held by Stephen Breyer. Ginsberg is the key. The libs are likely furious. They tried to get her to step down during the Obama years but her ego wouldn't allow it.
She will likely be gone during this term; obviously health is not a strong point for her. Not wishing, but I'll bet she is next to go.
FDR tried increasing the number of seats on the court. The push back was so severe that he quickly backed down. Possible? Sure? Nope. Remember, this was a president who was elected three terms, hugely popular. Yet, he could not do it.

Congress can change how many supreme court justices there are.
And Republicans will be voted out like no tomorrow.
This is one of the "sacred cows" of the left. Want to see turnout on the left go insane? Thats how. Just like actually banning guns on the right would.
go for it. I DARE you.
Some people care more about what is right than an election.
That's why Liberals are hilarious when they claim "you made a big mistake voting for Trumo and will regret it!". The Supreme Court never comes into their kind at all
Nah... 2 years and then a democratic senate can stonewall a trump pick just like the republikkkans did when Scalia croaked.
They started this stupid game, lol...
I thought it was The Biden Rule, from long ago, that the repubs invoked.
Of course, I could be wrong. It happens frequently.
