court what do you think of the idea of increasing the number of justices on the court not one party could do it i guess another party could do it and the more thing i mean it's fairly surface on the surface it seems to me you start changing all these things around and people will lose trust in the court [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] this brings us to the calls for you to step down while a democratic president and a democrat can appoint your successor in a democratic senate can confirm your successor here's one example of that he makes his own decision about if he's going to retire but he's going if he's going to retire it should be sooner rather than later if you are concerned about the court what do you think of those calls well i think that they're entitled to their opinion i think they and not only they understand the political world much better than i or they understand it pretty well and uh there we are what else do you want me to say they would say you ignored those calls and increased the chances that a republican senate will be there to confirm your successes well i mean there are factors there are many factors in fact quite a few and the role of the court and so forth is one of them and the situation the institutional considerations are some and uh i i i believe i can't say i take anything perfectly into account but in my own mind i think about those things
