Do you support packing the Supreme Court to alter its "lean"?

There have been suggestions cropping up, with some vigor of late, that Democrats should pack the Supreme Court the next time they have control of Congress and the White House.

This would entail adding Justices to the current 9, so that a Democratic President could "balance out" Trump's Court appointments.

Fordham University Law professor Jed Shugerman, for example, opined that they should create SIX new seats and abolish the filibuster altogether if that's what it takes to do it.

So, in other words, the suggestion is to reverse the presumed ideology of the Court by making the Court larger.

Do you agree with this approach -- altering the "lean" of the Court by giving the President of your party the ability to appoint more Justices who "lean" the way you prefer?

If so, please explain why.

This action would be just a reaction to the policies by both parties in the past. Now the democrats are out of power so they are looking for anything to try and regain that power up to and including altering the nature of the government. The pity party goes on.

When the Supreme Court decides that "lean" is the basis of a decision, then the constitution is dead.

So it's dead isn't it.
