the dems will regret this "turn the other cheek" schtick they always play when the gop adds 3 more conservative justices to the court just to make sure the dems never hold it again.
its not against the rules, and the gop are dicks, so do not think for a second that they will not try it."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

Expanding the court doesn't need to be the path forward, but the status quo doesn't seem to be cutting it.
Clarence Thomas is clearly compromised and needs to be investigated... if only there was a court in the America that could rule on such a thing.0 -

Why is it only the President has a term limit? That seems ass backwards.0 -

Now I don't know if any of the other Justices go out for Christmas hams with the powerful. I would be interested to see what they all do though.0 -

"If you are democrat then you believe it's already upset. If you are conservative you don't think it is."
If your response to everything that came out about Thomas in the last year is to assume that every other justice is equally compromised... it brings us back to my sarcastic statement about not upsetting the sanctity and status quo of the supreme court.
If they're all on the take, leaving things alone doesn't seem like a good path forward.
In the end though, we're still answering your question about why people aren't up in arms about potentially expanding the supreme court. If it's already a corrupt institution, then the rest of the government SHOULD be discussing ways to improve it.
Shouldn't we WANT to have some trust in the highest court in the land?

If what Thomas has done is really a matter of ethics then why haven't anyone done anything about it? They sure as hell went after Trump believing he did something wrong so why not go after the person whom won't be out in 4 years?
I wonder if it's just politics and it is the status quo.
You really do pick out some way off thoughts about what I say.
I still look at the SC as this. The conservatives have the sway right now. If you don't align that way you're looking for a way to get over to the other side to even it out.
Not thrilled with the abortion overturn. If they do start looking into other past cases and want to overturn those too then yeah, we have a big problem and I'd be ok with doing something to fix that.0 -

I also don't think what I'm saying is really that way off.. Your original question was why aren't people talking about the democrats wanting to expand the court, and I'm giving reasons why.
Confidence in the Supreme Court is at a 50 year low. That's not hyperbole.

You're chalking things like Clarence Thomas and the GOP fuckery around the 3 nominations during trump's term up to politics as usual and normal partisan bullshit, and there's nothing normal or common or cyclical about it.
