If either side attempts to pack the court to their political ends by increasing the number of justices it simply guarantees the other party will do the exact same when they come into power.
So what? Let's keep it going make the Supreme Court 50 people for all I care. It would still be better than the corrupt assholes right now. There only being 9 makes corruption so much easier.
It's much easier to pay off 2 judges than 25.
Uh but Republicans already did that anyway. So what?
Unless you're still holding a grudge against the Grant administration I'd recommend you re-read my comment. The number of judges has remained unchanged since 1869 because the last time one party decided to change that it lead to the two changing the number back and forth and resulted in some of the worst supreme court rulings in this nation's history.
We're already getting pretty horrible rulings. Whats to lose?
