The Pros and Cons of Adding 20 Justices

The only litmus test I'd have for this plan is that all 20 have to be objectively pro-democratic self-government. The benefits of this kind of court expansion are so great panels and the moderation from having more justices trying to cobble together on-box majority opinions, he says. A 1613 conservative court would just be better than a 6-3 conservative court even if my guys are still in the minority. It puts a different kind of question to McConnell. Join, get nine conservative justices, and keep a 1514 conservative majority on the court, or obstruct, create a 23 to 6 liberal majority on the Court.
