That is not something that he wants to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Several Democrat senators, including Sens. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), said the high court should be expanded. Critics of the move have said that it would allow Democrats to place additional judges on the bench to sway future rulings in their favor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis court has lost legitimacy.
