    Packing the court solves nothing as it can be immediately reversed as soon as a Republican is in office.

      The new surpreme court could chance the laws so that is no longer possible.

      Undo the current surpreme court laws, and weaken the powers of the president before Trump gains power.

      In the case they reverse it then we are back at square 1 except we had a more progressive supreme court for a bit. I don’t see how this makes our situation worse. I guess we should also give up and never bother with executive orders since they can just be undone when the Republicans get in

        It’s moot, anyway, as the President doesn’t have the power to add Justice vacancies. That’s Congress’s job.
