In a Truth Social post, the Trump warned that his opponents in Congress aimed to bring down the nation's top court by flooding it with multiple new justices and that they'd do it on the first day that they won election.
"The Democrats' number one policy push is the complete and total OBLITERATION of our great United States Supreme Court," he wrote.
"They will do this on their very first day in office, through the simple Termination of the Filibuster, SHOULD THEY WIN THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS. The Radical Left Democrats are looking at 21 Justices, with immediate ascension.
"This would be terrible for our Country. Fear not, however, Republicans will not let it, or any of their other catastrophic policies, happen. Our Country is now in very good hands. MAGA!!!"

Before court expansion can happen, voters must ensure a senate majority willing to kill the filibuster- that means nominating someone besides Janet Mills, who is pro filibuster, for Maine.

I dont see anyone outside of Mills that I believe can.

Mills would be another obstructionist Manchin or Sinema, with the added bonus of being 79 at the start of her term.
