    Court packing: Since 1969, Democratic presidents have appointed 4 Supreme Court justices, Republicans have appointed 15 (4 of them by presidents who lost the popular vote). McConnell refused even to hold hearing on Obama's nominee.

        I wish the Biden campaign would just say: You’re damn right we will pack the courts. Clearly we have seen the hypocritical GOP changes the rules to suit their needs, so we are going to do the same damn thing. As they told us, elections have consequences so they can go pound sand.

        But it isn't "doing the same damn [cynical] thing"; it would be doing what is in the interest of the American people who speak with their vote. There's a meaningful difference.

        Filling vacancies is not court packing.

        Mitch brags about all the federal judges they’ve appointed. They’ve appointed judges who subscribe to The Federalist Society Agenda. When they should be appointing people across the spectrum of legal views.

        Yep. Decades of systematically holding open vacancies during Democratic presidencies for them to fill when they take over.https://twitter.com/Autarkh/status/1310978372915216386?s=19 …

        As reform of the federal judiciary takes on new importance, here's a new chart I hope will be useful. It shows the vacancy rate of established judgeships. Republicans have been effective in holding open appellate vacancies during Dem presidencies to fill when they take over. pic.twitter.com/NFqZmQZC9a

        From 2016 to 2017 for 14 months, we had 8 justices. Where was the GOP Administration outrage then? 🤔 #ConfirmationHearing #MerrickGarland

        The Electoral College enables minority control of the government and allows this to occur.

        The GOP Senate has represented a majority of Americans once in the last forty years. GOP presidents have won the popular vote once in the last thirty-one. Yet the GOP has appointed six of the last nine SCOTUS justices. They pack courts to legislate from the bench.
