Eyes on the prize – from Hahvahd law prof Noah Feldman:
Impeachment is always a remedy to changing the courts.
Uh, probably not. There certainly is not a 2/3rds majority of the Senate who would convict and remove someone for being a conservative.
The more likely answer would be to size up the federal courts proportionate to the population and appoint. For the Supreme Court, size it so each Justice supervises one Circuit. “There are 13 appellate courts that sit below the U.S. Supreme Court, and they are called the U.S. Courts of Appeals.”
Now that's "packing" I can get behind!
Sizing up the courts requires legislation. No way it gets through the Senate so long as the GOP controls, and sadly, I think the GOP retains control after the 2020 election
wow.
I didn't go Ivy league – but … duh.
One problem with Joe Biden is that he might appoint a Republican to the Supreme Court. He isn't a Lipinsky, but neither is he a Warren.
cough……Biden….cough cough Hickenlooper…
Welp. Must be time to cast "blood and treasure" into the vast desert sands of the Middle East again.

Over / under on $Rump ordering the attack to distract from impeachment?
There are plenty of Republicans and Democrats who want this one– impeachment or no.

Chaser (2020):
Well, we might possibly be at war with Iran. We've just assassinated the head of the Quds Force, who was Khamenei's closest advisor. He also happens to be the purported architect of much of Iran's meddling in the Middle East over the years, but still – he's perhaps the #2 or #3 guy in their government.
Iranian state TV is running non-stop prayers and pictures of Gen. Soleimani. Looks like they intend to make him a full martyr.
I think we did that part.
We did the martyring. They're making sure he gets the full treatment.
