Abstract
Since 2016, the Supreme Court has become dominated by right-wing justices, nominated specifically by the Republican Party to ensure conservative political wins through the court system. These justices have been handing down partisan decisions from the nation's highest court, resulting in a legitimacy crisis and an erosion of our democracy. Expanding the number of justices on the Supreme Court is the most effective way of addressing this crisis as it is clearly within the powers of Congress and has a fair amount of support among congressional Democrats.
