Why it won't happen.
[Republicans are the Khmer Rouge.]
Enough playing nice. It’s time to pack the courts
[F]ederal judges function as politicians, who are appointed less for their flimsy pretense of interpreting the law than for their real purpose, which is to enact and protect the policy agenda of whichever party commands their loyalty.
Republicans have been behaving as if this is true for decades, campaigning on their ability to appoint judges that will enact conservative agendas and stymying or denying the confirmations of liberal judges.
It is time for the Democrats to drop the pretense that the judiciary is apolitical, and admit that no progressive agenda can be enacted or maintained without a drastic overhaul of the federal judiciary.
The next Democratic president must pack the courts.

Based on the handful I read it seems almost all the comments were against it, and some seemed in various ways to have been written by Republicans.
