Office Hours: What to do about the Supreme Court?

Time to expand it?

The majority of the Justices who now sit on the Supreme Court were appointed by presidents who initially lost the popular vote, and they were confirmed by senators representing the minority of the country.

The Constitution does not specify the number of justices. The number has been changed several times previously.

Please post your comments below. I’ll join in with my own views.
