And what's to stop the next Republican President from expanding the number from 13 to 17?  Or 21?  Or whatever they want?  That's a dangerous road to go down.

The Judiciary Act Of 1869.

As if we are not already there.

Trump even outside the SCOTUS has packed lower judges in every state. 

Mitch lit the fire and started this war by not confirming Garland.

Every president nominates judges and justices he thinks will support his views. It isn’t uniquely a Trump thing.

But in the original Constitution, prior to this act, there is nothing stopping the expansion or retraction. 

I am sure we cant trust Mitch Turtleman McTrumpdicksucker, to stick to his word in not confirming a POTUS like he did in denying Garland.

There’s also nothing in the Constitution that says you can’t murder people. That doesn’t mean there aren’t laws against it. And it’s important to remember that your last President who attempted to expand the SC was a hard-boiled Democrat who got his arse handed to him for his effort.

Ish - dems picked up a habit of not nominating wingers for various idiotic reasons - whilst republicans have been packing the court (at every level) with nuts.  

The GOP is no longer viable in a general election - but they've trapped the judiciary for a generation.  Well done.

Not much you can do to stop it, is there?

The isn’t a Christian ISIS. If there were, it would be CSITUS.

This. 

The Trump regime has officially taken us out of the era of government by dedicated statespersons who play by the rules. We've now entered the new era of naked power grabs and "make me!"
