Redirecting the SCOTUS discussion in here since little of it has to do with Trump

"Lying is ok because I'm not accountable to my own words" is not a stirring defense

It's always been about doing it because they could, the election year talking point was bullshit, and Dems need to stop appealing to some invisible referee. Failure to obstruct the pick, or unwillingness to expand the court in 2021 is unacceptable. As we've established, precedent is worthless, the only thing that matters is exercising what power you have to accomplish your goals.

Agree with all of this. Do you think the Dems would push it through if the shoe was on the other foot? Same exact situation dating back to 2016 with roles reversed

Well fortunately they can't pass a freaking CR to save the gov't right now. Maybe the shutdown will act as a hinderance.

Confirming a new justice before passing a 2021 budget would be a perfect cherry on the excrement sundae

The difference being that the GOP senate utilized power that is directly in line with the Constitution whereas obstructing the pick and especially the odious notion of packing the court are not.

"Article III of the Constitution, which establishes the Judicial Branch, leaves Congress significant discretion to determine the shape and structure of the federal judiciary. Even the number of Supreme Court Justices is left to Congress — at times there have been as few as six, while the current number (nine, with one Chief Justice and eight Associate Justices) has only been in place since 1869.

Adding seats is directly in line with the Constitution
