But that number is not fixed. With the Democrats controlling the House and Senate during the Biden presidency, they \u003ci\u003ecould\u003c\/i\u003e add justices to the Supreme Court. But would court packing destroy the Court as an apolitical judicial institution? This is the crucial question Stephen Feldman addresses in his provocative book, \u003ci\u003ePack the Court!\u003c\/i\u003e He uses a historical, analytical, and political argument to justify court-packing in general and Democratic court-packing more specifically.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRepublicans and Democrats alike profess to worry that court-packing will destroy the legitimacy of the Supreme Court as a judicial institution by injecting politics into a purely legal adjudicative process. But as Feldman's insightful book shows, law and politics are forever connected in judicial interpretation and decision making. \u003ci\u003ePack the Court!\u003c\/i\u003e insists that court packing is not the threat to the Supreme Court's institutional legitimacy that many fear. Given this, Feldman argues that Democrats should pack the Court while they have the opportunity. Doing so might even strengthen the American people's faith in the Court.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen M.
