no limit to how many times it can be packed. But it only has to happen
once to destroy the court’s reputation for independence.

When the Democrats won control of the Senate, I feared this is what they would do. They
would eliminate the filibuster which would have allowed them to pass the most radical agenda on a straight party line vote. Not only would they pack the court, but they would
give statehood to DC and PR. Medicare for all. Draconian gun control laws. I thought it was
the end of the country as we knew it.

Fortunately Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema will prevent this power grab. These bills have
zero chance of defeating the filibuster and Schumer can't get rid of the filibuster without
Manchin and Sinema and both are opposed to it. That will prevent the current Congress from
packing the court. In the unlikely event the Democrats pick up two more seats in the Senate
in the midterms, they are going to lose the House. To pack the court they are going to need
control of both houses of Congress and enough votes in the Senate to eliminate the
filibuster. Unless there is a drastic change in the political winds, they have no change of
doing that.

Nancy Pelosi thinks Democrats aren't going to lose the house and
will maintain status quo in the Senate.

Nancy is the poster girl for term limits.
