      The rules for the voters of the Supreme Court game,, have been pretty clear for 150 years: *9 seats, life tenure *Win presidential elections, you get to make nominations *Win Senate elections, you get to confirm or stop them *Divided government, you fight, maybe you compromise

      Republicans have done nothing to change those rules. Democrats have made the most of them when the rules worked in their favor. Now that they are not, they're threatening to overturn the board. That's how a constitutional democratic republic dies.

          Where is the *rule on 9 seats? You're making it up aren't you?

          Historically the way the US has dealt with violations of norms is to formalize them. The 22nd Amendment is the obvious example.

          Republican Abraham Lincoln added a tenth seat. Later a Republican congress changed the number of seats to 7. Then the Republicans changed it again to 9. Seems like Democrats get 3 changes based on those "rules." 🤣

          Mitch McConnell scrapped the filibuster for Supreme Court seats so Republican have changed the rules.

          McConnell abused the filibuster in ways that had never been done before and refused to compromise like Democrats did in 2005.

          GOP isn't following the rules they made 4 years ago with Garland, perhaps it was constitutional but refusing to advise on the nomination was a road too far so McConnel came up with his too close the election narrative. Just 4 years later, they want to pretend they didn't say it.
