Pardon my ignorance, but how does either party go about adding justices to the supreme court?

It seems like it should be a bit more difficult than this. Why not nominate a baker's dozen to add and really fix it up good.
The president nominates someone and the senate votes on them
Trump and Mcconnel have both said they would fill any vacancies on the SC. It would likely be Amy Coney Barrett as she was runner up to Kavenaugh. The Supreme Court is the large reason most of us voted for Trump. Kavenaugh only took so long because the GOP entertained stupid allegations. A woman nomination would be much harder to slander.
We cant be afraid of what Biden or the next Dem may do adding justices. They have already threatened to do so no matter what, we must do what’s best now and take that hurdle if it comes to it. Trump won’t win if he pussyfoots around with the nomination. Thats what the left wants.

The answer is that under the Constitution, the number of Supreme Court Justices is not fixed, and Congress can change it by passing an act that is then signed by the President.
She dead yet????
You've forgotten about "Nannygate" under Bill Clinton. Yes, it was for attorney general, but the same thing would apply for SCOTUS.
Didn’t say impossible to slander her, just harder. The left will most definitely try. Barrett has a clean record, Trump only choose Kavenaugh over her because he had more experience and was arguably harder to nominate because he was male. I think they held back Barrett for this exact reason of a late term appointment being easier. I’d hope Trump has had his list well vetted.

I don't think it's harder at all. Both sides will dig and dig for some dirt and if they can't find anything they'll just make up something. We've all seen that shit.
its an election year. the GOP can't put a conservative on that bench and not expect them to stack the bench with 2 more seats. imagine if the tables were turned for a minute. the right would absolutely increase by 2 scotus the next term they won.
You mean how the right did that when trump was elected?
Maybe my tinfoils a little tight but people like her are great examples of there being a whole different level of healthcare for the special ones
and this is probably one of the main reasons why we don't have many rational, honest people in public offices. Who wants their whole life analysed under a microscope looking for any flaw or past mistake (no matter how many decades old). I'd love to see the college professors and people who run news stories analysed as much as politicians are, and then fired out on the slightest thing they might have ever done wrong. I bet the "cancel culture" would slow down a good bit that way.
