If Trump gets to name 7-9 justices, that would be court packing. A few, 2-4 is normal ebb-and-flow. Nice, but normal.

No, that would be normal if it happens normally.

Uhhhh no it wouldn’t. Court packing is increasing the number of justices to alter its ideological make-up. Appointing a bunch of justices is not court packing. It’s just good fortune.

By court packing the idea is the Dems would expand the number of Justices on the USSC to a number greater than 9. There is no law covering the number of Justices which can be seated.

If Trump got to 7-9 justices it would NOT be “court-packing” unless the number of SC justices was expanded to accomplish this.

If the Wise Latina, Ruthie, and Kagan were to be called home to account for themselves, for instance, it would not be court packing to put a few constitutionalists on the court.
