"We should be talking even about expanding the number of people who serve on the Supreme Court, if there is a Democratic President and a Congress that might be willing to do that."

This has to be a Democrat proposal, since it is idiotic by even the most simple analysis.

If the Democrats expand the Supreme Court to force a bunch more liberals on it, what stops the Republicans from doing the same?

Maybe they'll all realize how stupid this is when we end up with 35,000 U.S. Supreme Court justices.

Since Ronald Reagan was inaugurated in 1981, there have been a total of 20 two-year terms of Congress (including the current term that began in January 2019 and will end in January 2021). There have only been 5 terms where the same party controlled the White House and both houses of Congress. Notice which party had full control in three of the five ... and three of the last four, too:

1993-1995 (Democrats)
2003-2005 (Republicans)
2005-2007 (Republicans)
2009-2011 (Democrats)
2017-2019 (Republicans)

Do the Democrats really want to go down this road?

The Dem Calculus does assume that they are going to end up in a more or less permanent majority due to mass immigration and young’uns being indoctrinated in socialism.
