As someone who phone-banked in NC, I can tell you I never heard a Trump supporter voicing court-expansion to justify their madness. I heard guns, "law and order", abortion etc. but never "court expansion"

Great point... I don't think I've ever heard a normal person [non-podcaster] talk about "court expansion"

I very much appreciate your clear, data driven analysis of this issue. We need to be braver.

Love the idea of court expansion + DC & PR statehood + expanding voter rights -- surely we need this trifecta to offset/insulate for the gerrymandering and redistricting that's soon to come.

Great piece. I'd love to read your thoughts about a sub-Supreme "Constitutional Court", and how such a structure might be wielded against Democrats if and when Congress flips back.
