If Kerry wins, then he would be justified in packing the court. The Supreme Court isn't limited to just 9 members.

Actually, it is so long as Congress says it is. Congress determines the number of justices in the Supreme Court, and something tells me they won't increase that number(even if the Democrats regain control of it, it wouldn't be a popular move).

As long as it's a rogue Congress, it doesn't have a right to determine anything.

Congress since 1995 has been rogue.

Actually, as far as I'm concerned, it was rogue way before that, constantly butting into the affairs of the states and the people. But, assuming you are calling it rogue because it's Republican dominated, it will definitely not increase the number of justices just so a Democrat can pack the court.
