Comments by "J Nagarya" (@jnagarya519) on "Biden attempts to clean up Supreme Court expansion answer" video.
If Trump wins, but the Democrats hold the House and take the Senate, they can impeach and remove. And the Congress can reverse everything Trump did, including removal of his judges.

The Republicans don't obey even their own rules.

It was clear. it just wasn't the answer you wanted. You biased simpletons always want simple answers to complicated issues. READ the Constitution: the authority to establish courts, and change the size of the Supreme Court, is EXCLUSIVE to CONGRESS. Presidents have nothing to do with it. It's unfortunate you're ignorant of history: 1. Post-assassination, the CONGRESS REDUCED the number of Supreme Court seats so Lincoln's VP Johnson couldn't appoint to it. 2. FDR's court-packing "scheme" (as smeared by Republicans) DIED IN CONGRESS. The bottom line is that it is entirely Constitutional for the CONGRESS to expand or shrink the Supreme Court. It is only "controversial" politically: "Justice and the rule of law are to be ABOVE politics." -- John Adams. Law and politics are not the same thing. Learn the difference.

The president doesn't have any role in the matter. When the Constitution was ratified, there were Congressional elections. Then the Congress organized the Executive branch, and established courts. At the time they set the number of Justices at six. The number has varied from time to time -- 9 is no magic number; the number isn't specified in the Constitution.

Whether the court is expanded is entirely up to CONGRESS. If the Democrats keep the House, and take the Senate, and Trump is re-elected, the CONGRESS can expand the court. They don't need the president's permission; and the president can't do it.

You don't know a lot about humans -- let alone judges. Scalia was an activist -- he was incapable or unwilling to separate his "religion" from his "interpretation" of the Constitution. Barrett is also an activist: in her dissent on a "gun" case, she opposed felons being able to vote, but for felons having guns -- and went beyond that to suggest what the law "should" be: the CONGRESS makes the laws, NOT THE JUDICIARY. In short: it isn't as simple as you falsely assume.

It's not a question for the president, because the president has no authority in the matterr. That authority is exclusive to CONGRESS. There's nothing worse than the wholly-political "opinions" of people who've never read the Constitution. "Justice and the rule of law are to be ABOVE politics." -- John Adams.

The authority to change the size of the Supreme Court is exclusive to CONGRESS. Asking a presidential candidate is STUPID.

It isn't up to the president.
