I think the author dismisses packing the court way too easily.
Packing the Court would almost certainly destroy the legitimacy of the federal judiciary in the eyes of many Republicans and would lead to massive resistance from red states.
Well, guess what? McConnell’s game of “Keep Away” with Merrick Garland’s nomination, combined with these rulings, has already destroyed the legitimacy of the Federal judiciary in the eyes of many. We’re already there. Pack the court, then double-dare Republicans to gain control of the Presidency and both houses of Congress again if they want to double-pack it.
I fucking HATE how Republicans get to pull the slimyest, shittiest stuff ever, and then when Democrats are in power it’s instantly “but think of the decorum!!!” This author can eat a bag of dicks.
