I've been at the forefront of the resurgence of the court expansion effort for five years* and I can assure everyone that a necessary predicate is electing Democrats to the White House and Congress. If anyone is confused about that ... stop.

One thing that makes me nervous about the resurgence of the court-packing talk is that it's not paired with "but first you absolutely must vote for Biden."
Like, sorry, that's the literal bare minimum that is required if you want to have this conversation.
While I'm at it I will add that expanding & rebalancing the Court is not the only necessary Court reform, it *is* the one that would immediately disempower the right-wing authoritarians who have seized control of SCOTUS and who would block any other meaningful reforms.

People are sleeping on the fact that Biden has been quietly reforming the courts from the ground up by appointing dozens of black civil rights lawyers & public defenders to the bench instead of the usual white prosecutors & Big Law partners.
