That is one possibility. There is no limit to the number of judges that can sit on the supreme court. I think it would be a shame if the number had to grow because of the because republicans try to pack the supreme court with conservative justices who would kill Roe v. Wade. Amy Coney Barrett signed an ad supporting the end of the "barbaric" (her words)  Roe v. wade decision.

I am pro life but I think the decision a woman makes regarding her unborn child is best made by herself in consultation with her family and doctor. Legislators are unneeded in that decision/process.

There is also the decision regarding the Trump administrations desire to kill the ACA that will be in the courts November 10. A packed conservative supreme court decision could devastate both of those cases and Americans generally for years to come.

Joe Biden likely does not want to increase the number of justices.

The ball is in republican hands at the moment.

It's not their game right now. We'll have to let the republicans do whatever it is they do and we go from there.
