President Biden said he won’t expand the Supreme Court because doing so would “politicize” the court in an unhealthy way. But it’s a political institution by its nature — and a disturbingly undemocratic one.
Sounds like a good opportunity to use his massive platform to build up public support for the idea and sell them on its necessity for the advancement of better politics. Too bad he’s not willing to though.
Perhaps for 2024. I suspect polling has told them otherwise. Like it or not, there are too many “white moderates” who aren’t very affected that would see this as over react.
I wouldn’t knock it. The Roe vs. Wade repeal brought big turnout in the 2022 midterm primaries to oppose state level abortion repeal in states you wouldn’t expect it like Kansas (they had something like 50% turnout, which is largely unheard for a midterm primary. Only around 36% turnout was anticipated). Stuff like this could easily be a huge motivator for turnout. Doubt he’ll do it at all though, as he doesn’t seem to support it.
He doesn’t have the votes to confirm more Justices so it’s moot.
