To protect the supreme court's legitimacy, a conservative justice should step down

4. Meh. Both of them should, but they won't. Have we all forgotten...
that FDR was so frustrated by the Supremes shutting down the New Deal that he saw increasing the Court as the only answer?
We'll get through this one way or another.

8. By threatening to add Justices, FDR was able to temper the conservative activism on the Court.
The Justices were institutionalist enough that they cared about the integrity and the future of the Court.
I'm afraid some of our current crop don't give a tinker's turd about the institution.
They are all about their agenda, reshaping the nation to fit a conservative, religious vision.
Fairness, precedence, even factual evidence, will all fly out the window with this bunch.

7. A conservative Justice?
In order to protect its legitimacy, the conservative justices must step down. Your concept is ok, just the amount is wrong
Party uber alles

10. Surely Ginsberg had to realize this could happen?
Are SC justices THAT obtuse. Look at her legacy now - all in jeopardy. Tragic.
She thought Clinton had it in the bag.

20. Perhaps Coney Barrett, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Alito, Thomas and Roberts...
Perhaps Coney Barrett, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Alito, Thomas and Roberts could all take up free diving, downhill mountain biking and backcountry skiing?!?

43. Only 1? We have the Stolen Nomination, the Drunk Half-vetted Nomination, and the Rushed Confirmation
I mean, those are THREE stolen seats. THREE.
I rest my case.
Count 'em, THREE!
What I wouldn't give to have this shitgibbon standing right in front of me where I could laugh in his face. Laugh and laugh and laugh.

You... rest your case?
We have the elections have consequences nomination, the elections have consequences nomination, and finally, the elections have consequences nomination.
I rest my case.
