Court sizes have shifted before, they can shift again.

I think they'd wait until after November, though. Doing it suddenly before the election would be a clear signal they expect to lose. So they'd try to ram it through in December, before the new Congress is sworn it.

There's too many conservatives on the court as it is; a moderate conservative in this political landscape is just a regular conservative who would still vote on partisan lines on most issues.

The Republicans deliberately waited out Obama's term to appoint Gorsuch to the court, so if the Democrats had any backbone whatsoever, they would be entirely justified in doing the same to any Trump appointee if in control of the Senate.

The hardest part is they'd need 52 seats at least, to negate the likelihood in a 51-49 situation that Fetterman joins Rs so Vance can tiebreak.

You bet your ass if it's serious he won't wait for midterms to retire, he'll do it now before Republicans get crushed in the midterms. Unlike the moderates on the court the pedo clan is playing for keeps. They understand the assignment and won't wait until they croak during a democrat controlled term. They'll fight dirty and steal seats if they need to. Ask that cocksucker Bitch McConnell.

Alito and Thomas are unhinged quite obviously and publicly bribed, bought, and paid for.
