Democrats shoot down talk of expanding Supreme Court | TheHill

Progressive activists and some lawmakers have raised the idea since Ginsburg s death was announced on Friday night, arguing the party needs to be ready to take bold steps if they have the Senate majority and the White House next year while facing a 6-3 conservative court.

The effort would tie together two controversial ideas: nixing the 60-vote legislative filibuster and then passing legislation to add seats to the Supreme Court, which has been set at nine justices since 1869. But several Democratic senators, including senior members of the caucus, are shooting down the idea altogether or warning that debating it now is a distraction from the fight over Ginsburg s seat.

Well this is good news, if it’s true. Perhaps there is something other than the crazy left to the Dem party.
