If you don't stack the court, national politics is kind of a dead-end for the foreseeable future. If you stack it, the republicans would stack it more when they got in, and you'd have to stack it more when the dems got back in, and on and on, and liberals think this is bad because it might hurt the legitimacy of the court as an institution, but that's good! The supreme court fucking sucks! It is a fundamentally undemocratic institution.
jobs program where we save the economy by making everyone a supreme court justice and they get $274,000 per year but its a job so it isn't some kinda cringe ass "money for nothing" ubi that would be too partisan
