Is Court Packing back on the table?

[Pericles]

Manchin is pro-life, which leaves the best-case at 49. I do wonder though, if the filibuster were eliminated, whether Murkowski and Collins would walk the talk and cast the deciding votes for federal abortion rights protections. The filibuster won't be eliminated this Congress, and so either it is later and Democrats don't need Republican votes for abortion rights or more likely, Congress fails again.

Manchin and Sinema aren’t going to budge.

It won’t happen.

Are you going to expel them from the Democratic Party for that? This is why I am a Independent voter.

Court-packing is a bad idea, but not removing the filibuster is is primary-able offence (for Sinema only though, Manchin is the only Democrat who has any shot in WV).
