Bullshit. He knew. There is no other reason for him to have brought up the issue. He just figured playing coy and being able to later say disingenuously, “Oh, sorry. I had no idea…” would absolve him of any pushback caused by the crowd’s chant.

Four? Including Ginsberg, I don’t see how more than two is likely, the other being Thomas, who’s in his 70’s and appears to be in good health. Ok, Breyer’s getting up there. But who would be the fourth? None of the others are out of their 60’s, although Sotomayor’s been looking a bit weak lately.

Yup, I’m becoming a fan of court packing.

For God’s sake, her name was Ginsburg, with a “U”.

Let’s just say they have a light, almost ethereal, editorial hand at TPM.

Well, give them credit - it’s hard working in a different alphabet for folks used to a Cyrillic script…

The politically appropriate term is “court reform”. They break it, we fix it - “and so it goes…”
