Adding Justices to the SCOTUS will not be "stacking the Court"; it will be

"RESTORING" the Court.

The transparent partisan hypocrisy of the Barrett farce, on top of the theft of Garland's seat and the publicly painful confirmation of a sexual assailant,---all during the illegitimate "administration" of a madman---robbed the nation's highest court of any confidence in its ability---or desire---to render impartial justice.

A failure to quickly restore the Court by appointing and confirming Justices who are clearly in the mainstream of public sentiment will see one of our three branches wither into total irrelevancy.

It will be undoing the court stacking the Republicons have been furiously doing for the past few years. It will be restoring the federal court system to make it reasonably representative of the American people.

FDR resorted to adding Members after failing to get appropriate feedback from the Supreme's at the time in order to get his legislation passed and implemented in a effort to revive our Nation.

If Biden needs to expand the Courts in a effort to fix failures of Governance that have been happening since Reagan,so be it. First is quashing the Senate Filibuster.
