Then what’s to stop the next incumbent from doing that until we have 1,000 justices? The US is a nation that loves to establish precedent so I can see why no one wants to mess with the issue.

There does need to be reform but that has to come from Congress. They have been a bit busy sharing pictures of hunter bidens penis lately to give a shit about things that matter to their constituents.

Well if he doesn’t do nothing the next incumbent will not need any justices anymore. Desperate times call for desperate measures and thought out reforms might have to wait until there is no real and imminent threat of authoritarianism taking over. The time for reforms was in the 80’s and 90’s Now its time for consequences because those didn’t happen.
