You know what, Biden should go on TV and say "if the Court is going to be reviewing so many administrative regulations, it's going to need to be a whole lot larger. Going to need *puts finger in the air* idk, 5 or 6 justices"

Yes this is what he SHOULD do, but there's very little indication that he even understands the scope of the problem, much less supports the kind of solutions that will be necessary.

Biden’s biggest disappointment for me to date has been on the SCOTUS. He’s been a coward who refused to acknowledge what was plainly obviously happening. If today wakes him up, that’s great, but I’m not optimistic

If Congressional Democrats aren't going to start doing show trials looking into Supreme Court corruption and bad jurisprudence, is there anything Biden can do? Form a Presidential Commission on Judicial Misconduct with televised hearings, perhaps?

Heh, remember when the Dems had a legislative majority and Biden established a commission to look at the state of SCOTUS, and the commission put out a report within a year and then everyone just ignored it? Great times.

Expanding the court doesn’t solve the problem. It just give MAGAts / republicans more seats. What we need is accountability

The reason Biden hasn’t done this is because no matter team red or team blue, they all work for the same people, and it’s never me and you.

There is a genuinely good argument for that kind of restructuring. E.g. make SCOTUS a much larger pool of a dozen justices, with maybe 5 randomly selected justices sitting a panel for a given case. Gives them a whole lot more bandwidth and makes it much harder to game the courts.

He should straight up appoint another 9. Don't just ensure that the current illegitimate majority can be overruled, make sure that the court has a strong liberal bent for a whole generation. That's the game that the right-wingers are playing.

I wonder why everyone is fixated on packing the court instead of getting at the heart of the problem: judicial review above all, but lifetime appointments too, and other things. Why? BTW Biden had a great commission on SCOTUS, that he ignored

Agreed. Let the next four months be Biden earning the “Dick Swinging Joe” moniker by running roughshod with every procedural move in the book to fight these moves and put those mfers on their heels and buried in process. If he fails, at least he can say he fought.

Exactly right. But I think you're thinking in too small of terms.
It's going to need to be every court from top to bottom.
