I would have said once upon a time that Court packing should be out of the


question, but now I'm at least willing to listen to the argument. The only thing I can say is that people don't necessarily know how justices will vote on cases before them, which can even be said of some surprising Gorsuch and Kavanaugh decisions this year, not to mention Roberts.

What I would prefer that Democrats do is focus on winning this election, foot drag as much as possible on this nomination (though I think the new justice is inevitable), and then start passing meaningful legislation in the new session. On the rules front, I'd start with severely curtailing the filibuster. I believe that's already on the table anyway.
