I don’t believe so, no. I’m pretty sure constitutionally whomever is in power can go hog wild expanding the court if they really want to. Now I will also add that I don’t believe there is any universe that exists where Democrats actually sack up and play hardball so this is a hypothetical exercise but still. The reality is the US is about to become a very hard right country in the judicial branch for a very long time.
