Considering that many nominees may be quite young and spend 40 years on the Court, and there can only be nine Justices on the Court at one time, how silly is it to present 20 names as possible nominees to the Supreme Court? Do these people expect to live to be 150 years old?
Joe Biden could give a list of fifty names and it would be just as silly as Trump giving his cult 20 names. Are people really that stupid? No need to answer that.

(15,413 posts)I see no way that we go higher. But if Republicans win in 2024 or 2028, they will enact revenge big-time, so it may go to 21 then.
Edit: I completely misread your question. I thought you were talking about expanding the Court to 20 Justices.

Forget about what a complete disaster I am, it's all worth it because maybe I'll put your guy on the court. Unless I won't, because I can't be trusted.
