Biden Is Wrong. The Supreme Court Is Already “Politicized.” (jacobin.com)

President Biden said he won’t expand the Supreme Court because doing so would “politicize” the court in an unhealthy way. But it’s a political institution by its nature — and a disturbingly undemocratic one.

I think we should have some serious discussions about how we want to deal with the Supreme Court. I’m not saying packing the court is the right option, but they’ve become far too right wing at this point, and they’re supposed to be politically neutral.

Even if Biden wanted to pack the court, the numbers just aren't there to support that action. Like we can't really have a discussion when there is "half" of this country who are just looking at this saying this is good and even if it is "politically" loaded its on their own team, so why care.
