Can we please stop with all the posts about reddit? Jesus christ you guys it's a website, not your crazy ex.

But, if my ex isn't crazy, then I must've been the crazy one... and that just couldn't be possible, right?

You know who will not have any issue stacking the SCOTUS?

The next Republican president.

The idea is in the table, and the GOP will not hesitate to add two more judges to solidify the court in their favor. This is where Democrats are indecisive and weak. Republicans will exploit any and all opportunities to consolidate their power. Just look at what is going on in Ohio right now.

The supreme court shouldn't "lean" one way or another.

Ideally, this is correct.

They should interpret the laws and constitution and consider the merits of the letter vs the intent of the law

This is where the door is opened for partisan politics. In the US at least, the further right you go, the more strict the constitution and laws are interpreted. The more progressive you are, the more you consider the intent and affects of the laws. Which is how you get folks hung up on terms like "Shall not infringe" or "shall make no law".
