would be six Conservatives to three Liberals. But speaking of reality that is why Democrats are calling for more Supreme Court Justices. So that it will be more balanced.

The reality is also that if that happens we could be an election or two away from being exactly where we started from.

Getting more SC Justices may seem like a fix but it could be short lived and come back to bite us in the ass.

The path to getting a proper Supreme Court is really simple. Elect the people that you think will appoint the Justices that have the Judicial record and temperament that reflects your political leanings.

Like Obama said "elections have consequences". He appointed two SC Justices. When Trump got elected he appointed three.
