Well the upside is democrats are likely to take the senate, but I don't know if they win enough seats to overcome people like Manchin who are unlikely to vote in favor of restoring democracy.

Its incredibly disproportionateIve always felt that the Supreme Court and judges in general should be non-partisan because being neutral or in the middle should be how people with that type of power and authority should be. Given thats not the case, keeping it at a 5-4 or 6-5 ratio would be more in line with what the purpose of the Supreme Court should be. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I feel like increasing the court by two would make some sense, since in 2016 republicans refused to give Merrick Garland a hearing, using the reasoning of "no new justices in an election year" only to intentionally not have that reasoning follow suit when the same scenario happened 4 years later(which is to say, if that's the reasoning you wanna use, Ginsburg dying in September is a hell of a lot closer to election day than Scalia in February). All that and you still keep an odd number of justices.

Then Republicans changed their standards the second it was convenient for them. Fuck 'em. This is war now, I don't give a shit anymore. Add 2 Supreme Court seats. Put in term limits, too.

So, this is something...
https://www.history.com/news/supreme-court-justices-number-constitution Only since 1869 have there consistently been nine justices appointed to the Supreme Court. Before that, Congress routinely changed the number of justices to achieve its own partisan political goals, resulting in as few as five Supreme Court justices required by law under John Adams to as many as 10 under Abraham Lincoln. By the start of the Civil War, the number of Supreme Court justices had increased to nine in order to cover additional circuit courts in the expanding American West. But Abraham Lincoln, upset over the Supreme Courts 1857 decision in Dred Scott and wanting to cement an anti-slavery majority on the Court, added a 10th justice in 1863. 9 is far from the sanctified number we think it is, anyway. Someone on Reddit suggested Dems pass a law tying the number of SC justices to the number of circuit courts, adding some so they in turn get 2 new justices as revenge. Then Republicans would have to add more circuit courts to stack the court further. It's something.... Fuck Mitch McConnell for even making this a discussion...

Wow that is some impressive mental gymnastics. Obama was denied his rightful pick, correct republicans kept spouting a bull shit rule. Where is that rule now?

They're the ones that keep changing the "rules" to suit their needs and plunder all that they can. You seem to have it backwards. Perhaps if Republicans hadn't pulled that shit w/ Garland, and even went to cartoon villainy levels of evil such as stating their intent to steal the seat literally hours after Scalia had died, Dems wouldn't call them out on their FUCKING HYPOCRISY right now. ...

If I understand your question it all depends on how many seats the democrats get in the senate. It's very possible democrats will take the senate, but if they don't have enough votes to offset conservative members of the party they won't be able to appoint additional justices.
