Dems would just pack the court the next time they won.
I don't think they will have the public support to do that.

After Kennedy's retirement the oldest Justices will be Ginsburg at 85 and Breyer ay 79. Imagine Trump getting to pick BOTH of their replacements!
Ginsburg won't retire under Trump no matter what. She'll need to be pulled out of there on a stretcher with a sheet over her face.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Of course not, but especially at her age it may not be up to her.

We would get the most entertaining confirmation hearings in the history of confirmation hearings.
Seriously, Trump should nominate him just so we could have a few days of confirmation hearings then withdraw the nomination.

There's an art here. Anyone too conservative, and Collins/Murkowski might reject. McCain is unlikely to make it back, which means the vote would be 50-49 without him, so even 1 Republican defecting would sink the vote. Depending on how Trump wants to play this, he might nominate someone who it would be tough for Dems up for reelection in red states to vote against - that would take someone more centrist.

I could also see a senator or 2 insisting on someone similar to Kennedy in order to keep relative partisan balance.

I think FDR tried that and didn’t get too far

I don't think they will have the public support to do that.
This would only be remotely relevant if they basically took the house, senate, and presidency. At which point you'd have to assume that support for this kind of thing would be very strong.

That's because he couldn't drum up enough support in congress, not because it's technically impossible.

FDR had all of those of the same party as him. He couldn't drum up enough support FROM HIS OWN PARTY. The same would be now. Any moderate Dem would not vote for such a thing since they would lose their seat at the next election.  Right now the Rs have all of those. Do you think they would be able to do this?

Totally different scenario, and I'm sure you know that. If they took congress and the white house it would be specifically a backlash to everything that's happening now with Trump, including the SCOTUS.

Naa it would be because Trump is a piece of garbage. There would not be support among anyone more that the radical left to pack the court.
