What precisely are you trying to push through the Supreme Court that you need to pack it?

Packing with just more justices is not my ideal solution. Any of the reforms that bring some balance/legitimacy are better. There’s plenty to choose from. If there was such a thing as a reasonable Republican I think there could be bipartisan support for some reform measures. Praying for the death of a justice while one party holds the senate and White House is bad for democracy.

Sounds like sore loser talk.
Trump needs to pack the court and then install larger term limits for presidents. I want 12 more years. I want to see nativism and nationalism getting explicitly promoted. This next four years for Trump needs to be everything the left said he was or it was all for nothing.
Is it, though? Trump and the Republican Senators won fair elections. And RBG really should have retired in 2009/10 after her second bout with cancer. The Democrats controlled everything.

I'll see your 6 new supreme court justices and raise you ten conservative justices.
I'll see your DC senators and make western maryland a state with 2 new senators.
I'll see your purto rican senators and raise you you two new california states carved out of conservative areas of california.
let the games begin.

when your party goes off the left side deep end it does not mean there is something wrong with the supreme court . it means you're party is out of touch with reality.
When Democrats controlled Congress and the Supreme Court was liberal for decades there was never an issue. Now you think the system needs reform. You guys got complacent, didn't understand what your constituents were trying to tell you. Here's a novel idea, EARN the voters' trust. Of course that may take longer than you'd like but in the long run that'll be better for the country than trying to rig everything in your favor.

Thought I read the other day that Ted Cruz was putting something together, a Constitutional Amendment, concreting in no more than 9 justices in the Supreme Court. I think that's a good move. Keeps it from becoming the circus that the left would absolutely turn it into.
If your ideas were truly as popular as CNN tells you they are, your party would be the ones appointing the Supreme Court justice. Your party would be pushing through a Constitutional Amendment. You've been duped guy

Dems are having a temper tantrum from their intended judicial activism being blocked. They need to go change their diapers and start doing something for the country instead of to the country for a change.

This argument doesn’t make sense coming from the Republican Party. Republicans represent a minority view. They’ve been EARNING fewer votes than Democrats for decades. The current president earned fewer votes than his opponent and the Senate majority members earned fewer votes than the minority. National Republicans don’t represent the views of a majority of Americans.

I trust you will be fine with us expanding the court.

When a President could nominate a Justice and they would receive a hearing I’d have agreed with you. I don’t believe a Republican controlled Senate will ever seat a Democratic president’s nominee now under the current rules. The number of Justices will vary until the rules change. Either there will be fewer justices with divided government or a packed court with a unified government. That makes the court an unelected partisan super legislature. It has no legitimacy as a neutral arbiter.
