LOS ANGELES – President Biden on Saturday night said he expects the winner of this year’s presidential election will likely have the chance to fill two vacancies on the Supreme Court – a decision he warned would be “one of the scariest parts” if his Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump, is successful in his bid for a second term.

    I think an “arms race” that forever expands the court – and thus dilutes the individual relevance of a single Justice – is a good thing.

    A single Justice dying or retiring should not be the sort of thing to reshape the entire country.

      “A good thing” is too strong a statement, but I could agree with “not worse than the status quo.”
