Adding justices is bad though. It just makes it so any change will be even more incremental. It basically guarantees a conservative court until there isn't one anymore.
Any change will be incremental because the people implementing the changes are incrementalists. The number of judges doesn't matter. They could double the size of the SCOTUS and we'd still just have a bench full of Merrick Garlands.
