They want to do it. It’s not a secret. Democrats, upset that we’ve flipped the Supreme Court, now want to destroy the third branch of government. They want to pack the court, a throwback to an old FDR initiative. It speaks to the entitlement these people have—Democrats think they deserve to win every argument and election. That’s not how any of this works. We have elections, and they can’t make good arguments because large swaths of their base are engulfed with abortion-crazed, wine-guzzling women, pronoun clowns, and abject weirdos who want to mutilate children sexually.

To cap it off, some pro-Hamas antisemites now dominate the youth wing of the party. Unable to win with this motley crew, they’re trying to smash the Supreme Court, which rightly will reject their authoritarian, left-wing agenda. It’s unconstitutional, but this attempt to whitewash that aspect with this ad hoc expansion is what you’d expect from a bunch of snobby sore losers (via WaPo) [emphasis mine]:
🚨🚨🚨
THEY’RE GOING FOR IT
Dems are trying to pack the Supreme Court
They’re willing to shred the constitution to stop anything in the way of total Dem controlhttps://t.co/9uniypa1gu

A sweeping bill introduced by a Democratic senator Wednesday would greatly increase the size of the Supreme Court, make it harder for the justices to overturn laws, require justices to undergo audits and remove roadblocks for high court nominations.
The legislation by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) is one of the most ambitious proposals to remake a high court that has suffered a sharp decline in its public approval after a string of contentious decisions and ethics scandals in recent years. It has little chance of passing at the moment, since Republicans have generally opposed efforts to overhaul the court.
Wyden, who chairs the Senate Finance Committee, said the goal of the bill is to restore public confidence in a battered institution. He said he hopes to get parts of the bill passed, even if the whole package is not embraced by lawmakers.
