U.S. Supreme Court, Washington, D.C. (Raymond Boyd/Getty Images)
The U.S. Supreme Court is corrupt, and it could conceivably remain corrupt for decades unless something is done about it.
And that something has to be adding four new Democratic justices, even if it means wrecking every Senate norm in the book to do so.
The court can be considered corrupt for at least three reasons. One is the system for approving justices was corrupted by the Republicans in the Senate, giving the conservatives a 6-3 majority when, if procedure had been followed, the Democrats would have a 5-4 advantage.
Also, because multiple justices lied about their view of settled law in their confirmation hearings, and three of them were placed by an historically corrupt president who was elected with a minority of the votes with the help of Russia. The theory that corrupt leaders install corrupt people around them should be considered here.
Musings of a Nobody 
The Court has already been packed – by McConnell. Expanding the Court will correct it. BTW, it’s not written in stone, or even in the Constitution that the SC has to have 9 justices. As there are 13 appellate courts, that are called the U.S. Courts of Appeals, 13 seems a good number to have on the SC.

Yes. No set number. I seem to remember Republicans saying that when they were talking about leaving seats open if Clinton won. Hypocrites. … Thanks for reading and commenting, Linda.
