    What do you suppose the president has the power to do in this case?

      This.

      The Supreme Court dominates our elected branches of government because our political leaders lack the strength to do otherwise. We deserve no better than the yoke the court has fashioned for us, because we are the ones putting it on. source.

        That doesn’t seem like a reasonable or well thought-out idea.

          I’m open to other ideas. But, we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas won’t cut it with fascism looming. Act in a utilitarian manner, and sort out the deficiencies later.

          Why not? As an originalist constitutionalists, conservatives should laud a president who reduces the court back to its Constitutionally mandated 6 justices.

            Point of order: the Constitution doesn’t set the number of justices, it gives that power to Congress.

              Somehow the writers of that Wikipedia article managed to fit that information into the first sentence.
