It would seem that SCOTUS is sending a message to the court packing crowd.
If the 9 current justices agree to back whatever ruling any 5 of them concur on unanimously, the additional justices will meaningless.
I can't imagine what else it could mean, it can't be that they all agree on the merits.
Very good explanation. I think you’re right. None of them want the court packed.
I think it also sends a message to any potential nominees, you won't be welcome on bench, we (the rightful justices) will shun you.
Subtle, but anyone in the judiciary probably already knows what the deal is.
