Generated from TLDR This:

Justice Samuel Alito says criticism of the Supreme Court is going too far.

But saying or implying that the court is becoming an illegitimate institution or questioning our integrity crosses an important line,” he said.

“I think judges create legitimacy problems for themselves – undermine their legitimacy – when they don’t act so much like courts and when they don’t do things that are recognizably law,” she said in New York earlier this month.

Roberts had a different view of the court’s legitimacy.

In a speech in Colorado, he said that while all of the court’s opinions are open to criticism, he pointedly noted that “simply because people disagree with opinions is not a basis for questioning the legitimacy of the court.”

The justices will also come together Friday morning – along with President Joe Biden – for the investiture of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

The Supreme Court seems kinda r-slurred honestly. If you're a very special (lucky) president a couple of them will die and you get to have your side control all judicially decided policy for the next three to four decades. Democrats should just pack it and then the Republicans can do the same when they win just to see how big it can get before the country collapses.

As I understand it while 9 is the normal number of justices there is no actual upper limit in the Constitution or anywhere so you could just break convention and pack it till you have a majority :3 but if you did that the other side would probably do the same.
