Or get them confirmed, then trump comes in and add 100 justices.

And if elections still exist, the next democrat adds 200 justices.

Eventually, supreme court becomes larger than congress.

👀🍿

Sure, why not? I feel incredibly under represented knowing 9 unelected people get to decide for hundreds of millions.

Right? And more justices means more frequent turnover which means less wild swings when the ancients die. More people that need to be bribed to compromise too

It's always appalling to me what people will sell the American people out for. Like look at Clarence Thomas. This guy could quit the court, work in the private sector and make bank on his name alone. Instead he sells out millions of people for an RV and some fancy vacations. Da fuck is wrong with people?

Fuck it, make it 335 million.

Every decision goes to a referendum.

But that would take power from the wealthy few and distribute it to the people, and that's evil leftist communist Marxist fascist socialist atheist woke double plus ungood poopy mind virus trans CRT, uhh, Venezuelan conspiracy and the Clintons and Obama will enforce gay agenda to kidnap your kids, uhh, agenda. Thinking is hard, so strong daddy trump will do my thinking for me.

/s in case it wasn't obvious enough.

We can all be on the supreme Court!

End-around the electoral college: if we’re ALL on the Supreme Court, then a simple majority can select presidents

Literally the court of public opinion

See you there

Sincerely, your fellow supreme court member, Justice [ERROR: Name Corrupted - SupremeCourt.exe has crashed due to excessive size]

this would be the proper way to break norms. Do things where congress would have to spend every day appointing new justices unless they agree to reform a stupid constitutional provision
