1. The Handmaid Failed big time on that vote

2. Would Have Been A Nice Prospect

Unfortunately there are Democrats opposed to the idea, and we won't have even a single vote leeway, assuming we get to 50 Senators.

I just don't see it being a legitimate shot until at least 2023.

3. The House majority isn't large enough either

Yet he thinks it’s “easy to do”

4. Ya know, the GOP could add justices, too.

If the rationale "the Supreme Court doesn't have to be nine Justices" is applied, there is no reason why the RW could not add a couple more justices to the Court, meaning the Democrats would have to add more for illusory "parity," meaning there would be a Justices Race that would put the Arms Race to shame and make the USSC more of a mockery of justice than it already is.

Be careful what you wish for. The GOP probably thinks they are safe with the current makeup of the Court, but if I were them, I'd surely be thinking about insurance. It's gonna be a long, cold four years for them.
