What might it all mean?

[Antisthenes]

If 15 is good, 30 is better. The opposition can double it in their favor next round once that door is opened.

Where does stacking the deck end?

Some day, we may all be on the SCOTUS. It's the only logical conclusion in a long game of one-upmanship.

.

31...we need that odd number      the more the merrier. Polticians and Corporations need to know the court can't be purchased.

If it can be packed, it can be purchased - it's just a matter of which side wants to pay the highest premium at that point.

.

Then the game is up, my friend. I fear it is anyways. You fight for your righteous world and I will fight for mine. (-;
