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.
