There’s a bill, called the Judiciary Act, that would add four seats to the court, making it one justice for every federal appeals court. It currently has 60 cosponsors in the House and just three in the Senate.

The poll further found that 60 percent of those surveyed disapproved of the court’s performance and 61 percent oppose the decision overturning Roe. And in a bit of schadenfreude, Brett Kavanaugh is also the least popular justice, even less popular than Mr. Ginni Thomas.

And here’s another new poll: Enthusiasm for voting in the midterm elections is at an all-time high, per NBC News data going back to 2006. The number of people who rated their voting interest as a nine or 10 on a 10-point scale was a whopping 64 percent—six points higher than the next highest year, 2018, when voters shattered midterm turnout records.

On paper, it sure seems like stacking the court with right-wing ideologues is about to backfire spectacularly for Republicans. But the reality is that voter suppression is still going strong and the House of Representatives is gerrymandered to hell. So Democrats still face steep odds to retain control of that chamber, and while they’re favored to hold the Senate, that’s not guaranteed, either.

It’s almost as if conservatives attacked representative democracy so they couldn’t be held accountable for their unpopular policy goals.
