I mean, there is no legal reason that Biden could not just put forth more candidates for the supreme court, right now.
Edit: The only actual reason is because Biden is a coward.
There is no constitutional reason it can't be amended, but there is a statutory reason Biden can't act unilaterally on that: the Judiciary Act of 1869 limits the SCOTUS to nine members.
Congress would have to let him.
Moscow Mitch piped up and preeminently accused Biden of 'packing the court', were he to increase the number of justices.
Really rich statement given Mitch is the real packer.
Coward? What is it for him to fear?
I'm not sure. As I said, there is no actual reason for him to not put forward more justices for the Supreme Court.
What does this even mean? Put them forward where?
Put them forward as in nominate them for approval to the bench
Approval to what? There are no open seats
Increase the size to 13 or something
This is the context of the thread. The size of the court is a law. It's not just something biden can "put judges forward"
He's not a coward.
He's rich, and we're not. Carlin said it best: It's a big club and you (meaning we in this case) ain't in it.
