Yes and no...I am opposed to "packing the court" simply for political reasons.
However, the Federal Court system is vastly overloaded with cases to the point that it can take years for a case to be heard. I also am against the ability to judge shop by filing cases where the plaintiff knows who the judge will be (see Matthew Kacsmaryk) so I believe there does need to be a shake-up among the Federal Court Districts. They can build smaller districts by adding 2 or 3. They can simply add judges to the current districts spread out the workload and allow more randomness in judge assignment. I would also shake up the Supreme Court Justice assigned to each district to oversee. Maybe have 3 justices assigned to each district so you never know who will decide on emergency orders. But something needs to be done so the federal court system can move at tortoise speed vs glacier speed
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
