It will take generations to replace the current court — and that’s assuming no bad actor ever gets elected.
I also don’t believe Biden or his successors will have the political fortitude to expand the court.
Nor do I believe a constitutional amendment is possible.

SCOTUS’s power has no effect if the rest of the judicial branch says ninny-ninny-ninny.
