Missing the point on court packing

This is the sort of idiocy that keeps us mired. The Republicans haven’t resisted “nuking” the “independent judiciary” out of respect for the Democrats’ restraint. I promise you, now that independent judges have thrown speed bumps in the path of the MAGA/fascist/cultist horde, we will see bills to purge the judiciary.

But if the Democrats had packed the Supreme Court, maybe we wouldn’t have a ruling that declared Trump more or less king and certainly immune to legal restraint. We might not have seen decisions that crippled the investigations and muddied the waters for the January 6 prosecutions.
