Packing the court requires legislation, in which he needs Congress to send him a bill, and between the Republican House and the Filibuster in the Senate that was never happening.

Maybe Biden could pack the Supreme Court before leaving office.
It wouldn’t be a great idea in the long run, but it’d potentially stop the entire system from functioning right now.

He should have expanded it as soon as he was elected.

My only real conclusion is that they’re all in on it.
Biden had four years and still has a few months for sweeping executive orders. If he doesn’t at least try, he’s a fucking coward.

They’re too scared of alienating corporations. If you go too hard on them they’ll take you out. Just look at Boeing.

He would have had to get that past the Senate, which he never really had.
