Every time you bring this up you are clearly making the case that SCOTUS appts are pure politics and the needless screeching around taking the Appt when the opportunity presents is stupid and making the appt is the clear correct course of action.Court packing is completely constitutional because the number of SCOTUS justices is set by statute, not the Constitution. You can the number by changing the statute.

Wasn't Mitch just following the "Biden Rule"? Also said rule was for a lame duck second term president. The counterargument is running for president as the democratic nominee.Interesting question whether trying to ram through a SCOTUS appointment now would work given Mitch's prior stance. It could backfire, give the Senate to the Dems, and potentially lead to court packing if the Dems controlled both the Senate and Presidency. And what counterarguments could the Republicans put forth with a straight face? They clearly played games with the judiciary, leading to what is effectively a gerrymandered federal bench.
