If a jury had 1,001 members... If SCOTUS had 100 judges...
But I wonder if we look at previous cases in recent history that had a jury of twelve and the outcomes that came about. Would they be any different if, say, the jury was made up of 201 members? Along those lines, I recently learned that for some time there has been discussion of expanding the Supreme Court from nine judges, too. I'm not quite sure. But can you imagine what that might be like if we had 50 or 100 judges?

What you have in the current realm in America is a very faithful Catholic who has written very strongly why you can have a legal framework to support the principles of a more conservative society, and that's what she's going to do
And if the person in power, the party in power working with the President, are not willing to possibly put in judges who represent the other side, and you fill it only with people from your side. We're going to end up with this lopsided situation again. I was going to say it could be seen as like a very long, slow seesaw of how many judges lean one way or the other

I mean, statistically, one of them can be conservative leaning, but there's no guarantee you employ a judge, then you're going to get conservative or Liberal through their life. So two, that's my metric number
