There is no rule on how many judges sit on the SC, so no rule changing. But nice try. I did see another 'rule' broken. You know the one team red was promulgating back when Merrick Garland was up for nomination. But of course, in that situation it wasn't a 'rule' either, right? You guys crack me up. Selective myopia must be a wonderful thing.
Control the Senate and the Presidency and you can put justices on the Supreme Court when a vacancy occurs. That is the rule! Ignorance must be a wonderful thing.

I don't care so much about a conservative majority as having judges that enforce our laws and constitution without political bias. I do believe that conservative judges do this more so than liberal ones. Liberals on the court have historically ruled based on their political persuasion, regardless of law and constitution. Conservatives have done it as well, but not as much.
Agree. The Law, the Constitution - not policy. Those wanting conservative, progressive or liberal are missing the point. It is about the Constitution and the Law. We'll get mostly good policies from Congress if they begin to realize they must be within the constitution's intent and meaning. The rest we can live with, or Congress can make better laws.
Which are the good policies that we can expect from a congress that can't even pass a budget. Even the supreme court is now being politicized just like congress.

Yes, you don't hear Amy Coney Barrett declaring anything like:
"I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."
-Justice Sonia Sotomayor-
