If republicans expand the court, Dems should expand it again once they are in power.

Expanding the court (and killing the filibuster to do so) under a Dem president is the only way to neutralize the MAGA majority on the court and clear the path to pass legislation restoring democracy and repairing the damage of the Trump era, without the laws being blocked in the senate or overturned by SCOTUS.
