In theory. The senate might have to change their rules.
He has to nominate and the senate has to approve. I think it's only Senate rules that would prevent that from happening in rapid succession. And the Senate is GOP controlled.But I assume a president Biden could "retaliate" by increasing the number of judges until they have a democrat majority?

Roosevelt tried that. It was met with outrage by both parties.

@George-K I don't know the historic context, but why would that upset the Democrat party today?
Good question. I don't know.

One of the main reasons I really would hate to see Trump force through a candidate at the last minute is it would give huge energy to the ‘pack the court’ faction in the party. (For the record Biden has consistently opposed it.)
