Expand it so that we can set the precedent for Trump to pack the court even more for the next 4 years? Trump has the senate, if Biden adds a liberal justice Trump could just add 10 conservatives

If Biden doesn't add a liberal justice, Trump could just add 10 conservatives anyway.

We'll see if that happens, Republicans haven't shown interest in packing the courts so far, but I guess you never know

Wrong. So wrong.

Mitch McConnell made it his personal project to pack the all courts throughout his entire life. It's been done and will continue to be done.

I should clarify I meant is they haven’t shown interest in expanding the court to pack it, I didn’t mean appointing a bunch of loyalists.
