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."

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.

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.
