Let's say a Democratic trifecta in 2021 passes the Judiciary Reform Act of 2021 to add two, three or even four more seats to the Supreme Court. Now of course we know the number of justices at the court is not mandated in the constitution, which means lawmakers have to power to determine the number of seats. But given how politicized the court is, is there any chance the current bench strikes such a law down? And what would happen if they did, say the three liberals and Roberts dissent?
I'd say such a ruling would have no basis from a legal standpoint, but there have been other outrageous decisions such as Shelby County v. Holder, in which the court should have had no business to begin with.
