Alito and Thomas need to, umm...go away.
Breyer needs to resign.

FWIW, here is the current age of the Supreme Court justices:
Barrett 49
Gorsuch 53
Kavanaugh 56
Kagan 60
Sotomayor 66
Roberts 66
Alito 70
Thomas 72
Breyer 82
Not clear if the Dems will hold a majority of the Senate after 2022 (20 Republican and 14 Democratic seats up; 3 Republican incumbents have announced they will not run: Burr (NC), Toomey (PA), Portman (OH)) . Given that Republicans only need to net flip one seat to take control of the Senate, it would be risky to put the confirmation process back in Mitch McConnell's hands. Will be interesting to see how many, if any, SCOTUS vacancies open over the next year and a half. Breyer seems like a lock to step down. Not sure if he will be the only one.
Dems need to take more seats in 22 and expand the Supreme Court.
If it were possible for Dems in 2022 to add to senate majority PA (very possible), WI (fairly possible), NC (50-50), & then a wild card form somewhere else (Blunt?) and not lose any seats, then you might be able to make some of those arguments RJ mentions above.

Maybe let’s wait for a ruling before we start screaming the sky is falling.
