of Congress didn't have enough votes to unpack that court. Before you can pack the USSC with 5 new justices, you have to get rid of their predecessors. How would that have happened? Restructure a SCOTUS that was corrupt, even if they'd ended the senate filibuster ( I could be wrong about how that would've enabled Congress)? Any majority attempt to restructure the SS would have taken the kind of foresight -- that we now know only in hindsight -- that Democratic Party leaders just didn't have.

Note too, that Biden did wisely decide to pack the lower federal courts with more judges than the felon before him did.
