I hate to be the one to break this to you, but were going to pack the courts.
Shouldn't have let the Republicans steal the last seat from Obama...Garin was basically conservative anyway.
Edit: for those that don't know...theres nothing in the constitution about the number of justices...and there is nothing in there about it being a co-equal branch of power. This is all just unchallenged stuff. Except for when Roosevelt tried to pack the courts in the 30's the public reacted negatively so he decided to not do it. Now a days...with trust in institutions at an all time low and unrest rising...I don't think there's going to be the same public outcry...we'll see.
