9. I agree with you 100%

Congress sets the number on the SC. There is no rule or law I'm aware of that restricts it to 9.
The court has been expanded multiple times in the past.
It makes sense to expand to 13 to match the number of district courts in the US.
Add 4 more liberal justices, outnumber the fascists and racists, and a whole host of ridiculous decisions can be overturned.

Perhaps THEN we can actually "make America great".
Unfortunately, I probably won't be around to see it.
