I'm talking about bargaining within the Dem caucus. Manchin and other moderates aren't going to agree with four, ever. I think they will water down whatever is proposed, so if the ask is four, they'll reduce it to two.
I actually think the selling point would end up being that the court's balance isn't changed.
But then, I'm cynical enough that I don't think they'll get rid of the legislative filibuster either.
