I completely agree as to vectors 1 and 2 but believe he should continue to sidestep on 3. Adding 2 justices should not be something taken up in his 1st year. That said, I would not take it off the table. The SCOTUS continues to get more and more political. If and when you get a handful of unpopular decisions (especially 1 overturning the ACA and leaving us in healthcare limbo during the latter stages of a pandemic or overturning Roe v. Wade), I don't think you'd have to expend that much political capital to add a couple of justices. It would be seen as tit for tat and undoing the injustice of what Pubs did with Garland and RBG.
