A SERIOUS RETHINKING OF THE SUPREME COURT
And you think, "He simply nominated justices"? And they were confirmed by a Replicant-Senate?
There are many things wrong with America's governance. And one of the most grievous is the "packing of the Supreme Court" by the Replicants.
The whole process dates from two-centuries and the Replicants can think of no other way to dominate law-making than to have a Supreme Court packed with "their people"!
Rather, the Supreme Court should be indifferent to political-belief. It must stand alone with no reverence in particular for any given political-party. It should be perfectly neutral and no PotUS should be able to nominate judges with the political-preferences of the US PotUS.
And ours in the US isn't perfectly neutral!

trump did not pack the court. he simply nominated justices when vacancies came up and they were confirmed by the Senate. Packing the court would be passing a law to add more justice then the current 9. That is what the democrats have lately been threatening to do. understand now?

THE U.S. SUPREME COURT IN GLOBAL COMPARISON
Excerpt:
In this testimony, I will first discuss the institutional ecosystem in which national “peak courts” (the highest courts in national legal systems) function to show why the U.S. Supreme Court is presently a target of so much criticism and explain how other constitutional systems have handled the problems that the U.S. Supreme Court faces. Part II will review the various ways that the key functions of peak courts are divided across different institutional homes. Part III explores methods of judicial appointment to the courts that make constitutional decisions. A conclusion follows explaining the relevance of the comparative analysis for the task before the Commission.
