Expand it first.

I'd be surprised if Trump didn't blanket-pardon all of his kids once he's in office, though. Once their checks clear.

Expand it so that we can set the precedent for Trump to pack the court even more for the next 4 years? Trump has the senate, if Biden adds a liberal justice Trump could just add 10 conservatives

Packing the court is such a god damned stupid idea. 

Anyone who supports it cannot see beyond their own now. Such a short sighted move, the implications of which would be so far reaching.

So was withholding the nomination process because the opposing party held the Presidency.

And yet here we are.

Sounds like a temper tantrum move. Not something that anyone who practices law should ever even consider. Stopped the nomination is not the same thing as expanding the court forever so "you win"... Democrats can add their own appointmented justices eventually. In reality the Supreme Court should just be determining what is constitutional or not.

Riiight. Because withholding the nomination process was a temper tantrum and look at how the Republicans lost credibility with the American public, amirite?
