If you simply say, "so what, POTUS Warren will appoint her won FBI Director" (which would be AWESOME), you accept new norm of politicization

Sounds like maybe only solution is not allow prez to appoint FBI director. Have them pick their own or have 2/3 margin in senate requirement

We have a real weakness in our constitution that everything in Exec needs to be under POTUS control.

if one side ignores essential norms expecting the other to obey them and thus disadvantage self, how to reset w/o entrenching bad behavior?

It’s too late for that not to be the case. That’s what destroying norms does. You can’t go back.
