I’m familiar with FDR’s Court-packing plan. While a blatant power grab, it was constitutional. That said, it was controversial even among Democrats, eventually died in committee after a bit less than half a year, and was ultimately rendered moot when A) Owen Roberts switched his vote on one Supreme Court case, and B) Willis van Devanter chose to retire and FDR got to replace him with Hugo Black. And he eventually got to add seven more after that, with a total of five in his second term alone.

Edit Reason: typos

it's pointless speculation at least in the short term with regard to packing the court. even if the democrats win, there's enough moderates who would balk at such an idea. That's not to say in the future, should the court over reach too much, that support for court packing wouldn't grow and become politically viable later on, but it could be just as likely a couple justices die and the court swings back to democrats.
my prediction is the seat is filled in October. a win for the GOP. like it or not. vote will be 52-54 in favor of confirming. Then next year with the democrats having won the election, will face pressure from the base for revenge, but nothing will come of it. they'll come short of the votes they would need even if they tried. Democrats like Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema wouldn't support it. likely they quickly move on to hopefully fixing our economy, dealing with Covid, police reform and such. it is what it is. you win some, you lose some.
Wait, 52-54? Are there 106 senators in this scenario?

yep. I meant 52 to 54 voting in favor, not 52/54 vote total. LOL
