The United States Supreme Court has numbered nine justices for the
past 150 years. But that number is not fixed. With the Democrats
controlling the House and Senate during the Biden presidency, they
could add justices to the Supreme Court. But would court packing
destroy the Court as an apolitical judicial institution? This is
the crucial question Stephen Feldman addresses in his provocative
book, Pack the Court! He uses a historical, analytical, and
political argument to justify court-packing in general and
Democratic court-packing more specifically. Republicans and
Democrats alike profess to worry that court-packing will destroy
the legitimacy of the Supreme Court as a judicial institution by
injecting politics into a purely legal adjudicative process. But as
Feldman's insightful book shows, law and politics are forever
connected in judicial interpretation and decision making. Pack the
Court! insists that court packing is not the threat to the Supreme
Court's institutional legitimacy that many fear. Given this,
Feldman argues that Democrats should pack the Court while they have
the opportunity. Doing so might even strengthen the American
people's faith in the Court.
