Courts have ALREADY been packed by Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump and Senate Republicans who have spent the last three years packing our courts, including the US Supreme Court, with dangerous extremists in lifetime appointments.
Mitch McConnell, Senate Republicans, Trump and Pence are PROJECTING their own dirty court-packing operation, which they've been carrying out for THREE YEARS, onto Democrats. Republicans have appointed THREE extremist USSC justices in as many years:
ONE was a STOLEN seat from Merrick Garland who wasn't even given the respect of meetings with Republican senators or a confirmation hearing;
Yet another seat was given up under a dirty backroom deal (Kennedy) with Donald Trump;
And the third is being RAMMED through (in a form of judicial rape) against the deathbed wishes of a beloved deceased justice and against Republicans' own rules from 2016 when Mitch McConnell refused to confirm Merrick Garland leaving the court with only 8 justices for a YEAR.
Democrats may have to restore & rebalance the courts due to REPUBLICAN court-packing that they THEMSELVES have carried out for the past THREE YEARS. Republicans should stop projecting their court-packing guilt onto Democrats. Democrats didn't pack the courts, REPUBLICANS have.
Democrats have an obligation to restore integrity and balance to our court system so that it isn't crushed under the weight of the dump truck of extremist nominees confirmed by Republicans in the past three years.
Republicans packed our courts, especially the Supreme Court. Now, Democrats have an obligation to UNpack it so that our justice system works as intended.
