    This is contemptuous and unacceptable. The flippancy with which they talk about fundamentally altering the civic compact is reprehensible. https://twitter.com/mikememoli/status/1314293228246495234 …

        If Democrats win the senate and presidency with the popular vote after the GOP forces a nomination through, they not only have a mandate to pack the court, they have an obligation.

        I think court emptying, which is what the Senate Rs did throughout Obama’s presidency, is much more harmful, if less visible, than court packing.

        And it’s that court emptying that made possible the racist court packing that the administration has pushed thru, as @KamalaHarris highlighted in the debate.

        D’s need to learn to articulate this point: the Supreme Court currently represents the views of a shrinking minority of Americans and the majority justices were appointed by presidents that lost the popular vote and confirmed by a Senate majority elected by a minority of voters

        And Miguel Estrada (the story on this one was particularly bad), Robert Bork, etc Thats not both sides-ism, its a fact that there has been a steady decline in norms observation over judicial selection The ball didn't bounce your way, so you decide to change the game entirely

        Bork participated in the Saturday Night Massacre, opposed the Civil Rights Act and upheld the right of corporations to demand employees be sterilized. He was so much an extremist that 6 Republicans voted against him. Nice try though.

        look it's only rude and upsetting when Democrats suggest using every means possible--it's totally normal and civil when Republicans shred democracy in order to pursue neo-Jim-Crowism

        You fundamentally altered the civic compact when you let the president bullshit about walling off his personal finances and donating everything that came into his properties and thought it was funny people were complaining. Get ready.
