Biden brought it up briefly and I think it made the news cycle for one day before trump said something insane to throw red meat at the rabid press, but it’s fully possible t o expand the SC.
That’s what needs to happen. It’s been expanded before. The SC originally had 6 seats: one for each of 6 federal court circuits. In 1807 it was expanded to 7 as another district was added. In 1837, two more seats were added, again to correspond with 2 more districts.
There are now 13 federal court districts, so by precedent there should be 13 SC seats. Expansion of the SC is long overdue (no surprise, because conservatives have been opposing expansion since 1937 when Roosevelt proposed another expansion).

I had a couple of posts open and replied this to the wrong one. Sorry, my comment is completely irrelevant here.
