Democrats seem to be hellbent on dismantling the Republic entirely in their relentless quest for absolute power.
Congressional Democrats plan to unveil legislation expanding the size of the Supreme Court on Thursday, according to three congressional sources familiar with the closely held measure.
The bill would add four seats to the high court, bringing the total to 13 from the current nine. The bill is led by House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler, Subcommittee chair Hank Johnson, and freshman Rep. Mondaire Jones. In the Senate, the bill is being championed by Ed Markey of Massachusetts.
Never mind that “sainted” Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg opposed court packing, or that Biden himself denounced the idea back in the Bush43 days:

The question is whether they’re seriously going to try to push this through, no matter how many seats it loses them in 2022, or if this is all a mime show to appease the activist base that demands seizing complete power by any means necessary.
Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia has said that he’s still opposed to court packing, as has Arizona’s Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema. Then again, these days there are few things more ephemeral than a Democratic office-holder standing on principle against The Will Of The Party.
Just how delusional are Democrats? Certainly the leftwing media bubble lets them continuously get high on their own supply, and they’ve been emboldened since their corrupt push to enthrone Slow Joe over both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump was a success. (And speaking of Bernie, he was on record as opposing court packing as well.) But surely the more sober party strategists realize they actually lost House seats last year, and outright stole three senate seats between Georgia and Michigan. And all that only got them to 50/50 in the senate. Are they really willing to go all in on court packing when pushing through ObamaCare probably cost them a dozen statehouse chambers for generation?
A worst-case scenario for them would to go all-in on court packing, still come up short, and get slaughtered in 2022…

22 will be when we find out just how broken our electoral system really is. The DemonRats are acting like they have absolute confidence that they can’t be removed from power and their power-grabs overturned, and given the fraud of 2020, and the failure of the system to fix it, they may well be right.
In which case dire warnings about losing their majority in 2022 constitutes nothing more than whistling past the graveyard.
The dRats _are_not_ going to lose in 2022 no matter what they get pushed through in these next few years. 2020 proved that. The Repubs like being the losers, always promising to their constituents that the next time they will hold the line and yet shrugging each time the dRats make another gain to destroy what’s left of the Country and the culture.
It’s ‘Game Over, Man! Game over.’

It is ironic to hear a member of the party controlling the House, Senate, and White House bloviating about how Republicans are trying to keep Democrats from winning elections.
