SCOTUS reform bill

Congressional Democrats plan to unveil legislation expanding the size of the Supreme Court on Thursday, according to three congressional sources familiar with the closely held measure.

The bill would add four seats to the high court, bringing the total to 13 from the current nine.

Would they settle for adding 2, making the Court 6-5 Republican favor, rather than 4, making it 7-6 Democratic favor? It's a damned shame that this country has fallen so low that the Supreme Court is nothing more than a political player in the government.
The bill is led by House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler, subcommittee Chair Hank Johnson, and first-term Rep. Mondaire Jones. In the Senate, the bill is being championed by Ed Markey of Massachusetts.
Accursed Nancy Pelosi says she won't bring it to a vote, so it's actually moot.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
