I am hoping that we look at the alternatives after we take the House, the Senate and the White House.

I wish she would just quit trying to be a showboat and think about the timing of her words. This is not something one says a week before a major election. We all may be thinking this but let's win the election first. There will be ample time after Pre Biden is sworn in to consider expanding the courts. Talking about this now only provides another talking point for the right.
