Expand the Supreme Court

The process of adding more seats to the Supreme Court.
Recently, this is a plan pushed by the left to regain control of the Court, after President Trump shoved three conservative justices in, by adding four of their own. Since the sitting justices have life-long terms, this strategy is their next best shot.
As one might expect, the possibility of replacing one bias with another has made this a bit of a hard sell.
A: We need to expand the Supreme Court, or else they'll demolish LGBT rights, overturn Roe V. Wade, and pare down minority voting rights!
B: Is this really the best way to do that?
A: It is if you aren't willing to get locked up for gunning down Kavanaugh and ACB.

Supreme Court and Federal Courts Building

The official name of the court building at Kent and Wellington Streets in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Sometimes it is colloquially and erroneously called "The Supreme Court Building" (even by experienced journalists) because it houses the Supreme Court of Canada. But it is officially called the "Supreme Court and Federal Courts Building" because the Federal Court of Appeal and the Federal Court also both regularly sit in their own courtrooms within the building.

Supreme Court

A compound verb where an argument being made is made with minimal effort and then masked with clever sounding words.

In the April 2025 Supreme Court ruling For Women Scotland vs The Scottish ministers the ruling used the phrase "These are assumed to be self-explanatory and to require no further explanation", which is a variation on the "this is left as an exercise for the reader" and "It is self-evident that...", both forms of "Proof by Intimidation" used by junk science
- I can't be bothered explaining, I'll just Supreme Court it and hope they don't challenge me.
- "Did you just Supreme Court this and hope nobody would notice?"
- "Well, honestly... it's clearly self-evident?"
