this piece is...not persuasive. dems face political backlash for even the most moderate legislative proposals. they face political backlash for wholly invented conspiracy theories. might as well pack the courts, which affect every aspect of our liveshttps://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/15/opinion/supreme-court-packing-democrats-.html …

The only thing that gives me pause on this: wouldn’t the GOP then just pack the court themselves? Where does this end up?

imo “the GOP will do the same to us” is not a reason not to do it if we get the chance. you could make the same arg for impeaching a Justice (or pres). my view is that it’s a moral imperative to rebalance the Court—4/9 justices were installed by a pres w/o a popular mandate

I'd also note — just like people who earned better grades than me at law school, such as
@ProfEpps and Michael Klarman — that Republicans have _already_ packed the courts. We're just discussing what to do about that.https://takecareblog.com/blog/why-democrats-should-pack-the-supreme-court …1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

Yes, but I WAS given a warning and an explanation. Believe me.
