      Elections have consequences. If the Dems wish to retaliate in kind, that is entirely legitimate. Blowing up the 9-member Court to take a step Joe Biden has described as a corrupt power grab, which was decisively rejected in 1937 as a threat to a free people, is not "in kind."

      If Joe Biden wants to take a step as radical as Court-packing, he should campaign on that & seek the approval of the voters. He's done precisely the opposite.

      Power should be exercised to do good, unless a norm exists to constrain it. No historical norm existed to constrain Republicans. Whereas the experience of 1937 set a bright-line historical norm against abuse of power that we all learned in grade school.

          Anyway, if you care even a little bit about constitutional governance & the survival of the American republic, go vote for Republicans to hold the Senate. It may be our last line of defense.

          No Supreme Court nominee had been held with no vote for 293 days. And spare me the pedantic distinctions of senate control when Melville Fuller was confirmed by a Senate controlled by the opposition.

          Shouldn’t garland have been given a vote then? Considering it was 300+ days before an election, and he was a perfectly fine candidate.

          It’s what will happen, though, and likely be framed as balancing the court to more reflect the population. Is a 6-3 staunchly conservative court reflective of a population that is increasingly more liberal with each new generation? Most likely outcome seems to add 2, make it 6-5.

          Seriously, no historical norm? The Garland precedent is only 4 years old!
