would historically altering the structure of the supreme court in an effort to consolidate total power across every branch of government in the hands of one political party be more of a "return to normalcy" or a "healing of a divided nation"https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1380536385958985736 …

We should have 18 year terms. Every president gets to nominate 1 judge every two years. Get rid of this weird power game where everyone tries to pack the court based on ideology.

There are lots of reforms that would help improve the court. E.g., 18 or 24 year terms so we aren't ruled by geriatrics

While I agree that courtpacking isn’t the right move, you can’t argue that what the Republican run senate was doing was any better. Manipulation of the judiciary, of any kind, shouldn’t be tolerated. The senate’s job is to approve/disapprove, not determine timing of a nomination

Chalking it up to “bad things happen” is incredibly reductionist. If Republicans want to claim to be constitutional originalists, they should also have fought against delaying Garland’s nomination, as they interpreted what they felt the constitution SHOULD say, not what it says.

It's more similar to changing the law to make such retribution legal. Whether the first episode of revenge is justified matters little when compared to the endless cycle of retribution that follows.
