Here we go! I think it will be an uphill fight. It seems a little premature since Biden just announced a commission to study restructuring the Supreme Court. Will the Republicans add 6 more Justices next time they are in power? If the bill fails will Republicans introduce their own court packing bill? Is this a case of fools rushing in?

4 more Justices means 4 more circuit judges - which makes splitting the largest Circuit Courts of Appeal <cough 9th Circuit> much simpler. It would also balance the workload - Alito and Kavanaugh currently suspervise 2 circuits each, while Roberts supervises 3.

The Supreme Court was too busy [more like too scared!] to investigate election fraud and punted its responsibility to Congress. This truly was a federal issue that the Supreme Court SHOULD have taken up. Now we have an illegitimate Administration ruining the country and proposing this nonsense. Election integrity is a Federal issue. Federal Elections SHOULD comply with Federal Standards but instead we allow Democrat AG's to arbitrarily change election rules in violation of their State Constitutions (by not involving the legislature which is the people's voice in gov't) and we allowed the confirmation of an Electoral College vote tainted with manipulated vote counts and mail-in ballot fraud to decide a federal election. The Supreme Court should have weighed in but it did not.
Education, Marriage, State Land Management... < These are responsibilities that the Constitution did not grant to the Federal Gov't and anything not specifically enumerated as belonging to the Federal Gov't is a responsibility of State Gov'ts. Perhaps what's needed is to allow the States to decide more cases at their level to offload the workload on the Supreme Court which seems to be more interested in stuff like Transgender Rights, Marriage Equality, Teaching children about LGBT issues, Abortion. These are STATE issues. We don't need more Supreme Court Justices. We just need them to stay in their lane and focus on what truly are their responsibilities.

Capt Jeff S.
Capt Gregory Prickett - Except that Trump didn't lose by over 7 million votes. Biden cheated. Figure the odds that a two-time losing former Presidential candidate spends most of the election hiding from the press [following the "science?"] and then comes back from behind in the middle of the night - after vote counts were stopped in the critical swing states! - AAAAND wins the most votes EVER in a Presidential election!
While Biden could barely fill a few crop circles with reporters, Trump filled stadiums and outdoor venues to capacity. Evidence of election fraud is literally everywhere and was never heard by Congress or the Supreme Court. Where are the crowds of energized Biden supporters? Pffft. There aren't any. Biden's a total zero. I would give respect if I didn't vote for him and he was legit, but he's not. America did not elect Biden.
The Democrats used the power of government to coerce Social Media, Big Tech, and the Lamestream Media into silencing the free speech of Conservatives and convincing people that Trump was doing shady things in office... when it was Biden his entire political career! If your Liberal message is so great, why be so afraid of the opposition speaking out against it... unless that is, you're not very confident in your own message and ability to get the job done.
The Liberal base of useful idiots and social justice warriors aren't the sharpest tools in the shed. They don't know what sex they are, what pronouns they should use, or which bathroom is theirs to use. They believe our borders should be open to everyone and welcome the flow of drugs that illegals bring into our country, along with human trafficking. Liberals want to give illegals driver's licenses so they can use them to register to vote in our elections. They don't want Voter ID because it disenfranchises voters? They can't figure out how defunding police contributes to crime rates spiking in their cities. It's not the guns... It's THEM! Now they see the need for border security because thousands are dying from fentanyl which is coming in through Mexico. They want police protection because crime is out of control and they're talking about funding the police they defunded. They want to be credited for solving the very problems their stupid policies created.
Liberals can't seem to grasp the concept of personal responsibility and individual accountability. Liberals blame guns for violence because it couldn't possibly be their fault. Nothing's ever their fault. They always point fingers and blame everyone and everything else for the problems they cause with their own stupidity... but they had good intentions and that should at least count for something... They fancy themselves victims of every conceivable offense and wear their alleged victim status with pride -- as if it were a badge of honor.
Trump held government accountable. Biden? He doesn't have a clue. Hell, half the time he doesn't even know what planet he's on! And Liberal policies exacerbated COVID recovery which they blamed on Trump. It's easy to blame others and point fingers than it is to come up with real, workable solutions to the nation's problems.
Love him or hate him, you must admit that despite all the frivolous investigations and foot-dragging by Democrats, Trump still managed to accomplish A LOT! He moved the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and recognized the Golan Heights as belonging to Israel. Several other Presidents said they were going to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, but they didn't ever make good on their promises; they were too afraid of upsetting Islam. Trump also got us out of the stupid treaties that had us paying and other countries that took full advantage of our weakness. The Iran Nuclear deal, Clinton paying North Korea to not develop nuclear weapons, Our botched withdrawal in Afghanistan, etc. etc. Biden's first actions in office was to undo everything Trump put into place that was contributing to America's success and now we're ALL paying for it with record high inflation as China and others are moving to unseat the USD as the World Reserve Currency, which is only going to further exacerbate the dollar's decline and our economy right along with it.
I get it. You have Trump on the brain and can't stand him. You hate him because he's orange. Liberals never consider the detriment they cause others; their only concern is advancing their nefarious agenda, and they could care less how toxic it is to society and destructive to the nation's economy. We've had our fill of O'Biden. Biden is just the talking head. Obama is for all practical purposes on his 3rd term and it shows. I've never seen this country more polarized and divided over issues that in the big scheme of things are so trivial while those things that really matter are ignored... like the rising national debt, like the crisis on our border, like rising crime rates, like energy independence, like government corruption, etc. etc. These are things Liberals ignore because they have no practical solutions for any of it. It's easier to argue about stuff that's in the big scheme of things is not as critical to the ability of our nation to function and prosper -- like a women's right to kill her babies, like gay marriage, transgender rights, climate change... as if the future of humanity hangs on these issues.

All this will do it create a perpetual war, one side gets majority they up the number and add their people, the other side comes back 2 or 3 years later and changes the number to give them the advantage. How about put actual judges who rule by the rule of law and not politics.
