Did you read my post? What “shit” am I making up? I said: if the Dems did try and pack the Court, that they would open themselves up to criticism of doing so for political reasons. Not sure how you interpret that as me advocating they do so?So throw out the constitution for political advantage. You’re making shit up. Exactly what the framers warned about…
Are you drunk or something ?
The idea of term limits however, is equally advantageous to Reps and Dems - It would allow each president to appoint two justices in a four-year term, and it would end the incentive to choose ever younger justices in the hope they could serve in a powerful position for 30 or 40 years.
FYI - The “framers” of the Constitution had no term limits in the original draft. The 22nd Amendment was only added in 1951 after FDR tried to expand the Court to 15 for political reasons - 237 years after the Constitution was framed.
