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.

And Trump has some options folks haven't considered.

Congress can change how many supreme court justices there are.

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

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.
