NBC’s Neal Katyal: Dems ‘Within Their Rights’ to Pack SCOTUS After ‘Stolen’ Seats

EXCERPT:

KATYAL: “Exactly. So the Constitution itself doesn’t say how many justices should be on the Supreme Court. We started with five, we then had six, we had ten for a while. But for the last 150 years, we’ve had nine. And what these proposals would do is to say, “Look, you’ve essentially cheated and stolen over two seats, the Scalia seat and now this one, and we’re going to respond by increasing the size of the Supreme Court at least by two votes, if now by four or by six.” And I think they’d be well within their rights to do so. But I think that just demonstrates the real unfortunate – unfortunate is too modest a word – the real danger, the serious danger to the Supreme Court that the Republicans have unleashed with these promises to try to and rush a nominee through just because they’re afraid they can’t win an election.”
