I agree with much of what you say, but how can you justify adding more supreme court justices? That sets a precedent that the minority party can always try to dilute the majority. In time it could be a circus. Correct me if I am wrong--as I sure you will do--but as upsetting as it is that Trump is going to get to pick three justices in just one dismal term, it is still the legitimate result of unfortunate circumstances, n'est-ce pas? You can't just rewrite the government because you're in the minority. And if you can, then why can't the GOP do it when they too invariably one day recede into minority? It undermines the legitimacy and credibility of the entire institution.
