      You know the president can add justices, right? Court expansion is under the jurisdiction of the executive branch and approved by the Senate. So no, he doesn’t need to kill a justice, he can just increase the court size.

      The Constitution does not specify the size of the court.

      Why are you asking me when I just told you? We’ve been saying it for the last three years: pack the court.
