It's a job interview
I think adding 2 more judges to the supreme Court, for a total of 11, should be done when the next Democrat is POTUS.

This is the thing that most disturbs me.
With full respect, you can't keep changing the government to see your side prevails.
That is what got us in this mess.
Regan wanted to make it 13 and compromised using the argument that the court was over tasked. But they are not tasked more or less with more of them in the court.
But I am comfortable with more on the court. It should take a 3/4 vote to change it. AND consent of the house.
The Senate has been particularly guilty of changing it's rules to fit partisan need.
You don't have to actually filibuster a bill, just say you will and that stops it.
Everyone has twisted our rules of governance to the point it is just UGLY !
more of it will not make things better.
A good start would be to set the rules back to where they were in 1991. Then require a 3/4 majority to change them.
They have been changing the rules on simple majority whereas it used to be 2/3's.
So you need to seek NO COMPROMISE !
