    It’s politicized in the us because presidents appoint justices for life, and a group called the federalist society led a multi decade effort to pack it with as many chudges possible, the most far right evangelical freaks, including through outright chicanery like refusing to seat merrick garland bc Obama was a lame duck, and amazingly rolled over on that.

    This is why what Biden is saying is a dumb joke. The court is already packed. And bc the justices are young this will be the makeup for 30 years.

    Of course that hallowed document, the us constipoopoo, makes no mention of the size of the court, these are all “norms”

    At this point there’s only one way to get a balanced court back but liberals will never admit to it
