Opinion | Liam Kerr: If Democrats want to lose the election, calling for court-packing is a great strategy. - NBCNewsTHINK

To the extent that Democrats are talking about court-packing, they're not reaching voters where they are. At best, the idea is a short-term fix masquerading as a structural change. At worst, it feeds dark Republican fantasies about Democrats attempting to remake the country, not to mention subsequent moves to counter-pack the court with conservative justices.

It may well be that the rules of the game are stacked against Democrats, with the rural tilt of the Senate giving the GOP a built-in advantage in holding the chamber that must confirm any Supreme Court pick. But that isn't a winning argument. First, this game needs to be won at the ballot box.

THINK True, once Democrats win the Presidency and Congress, the repair and progress can begin.

THINK Mitch has done nothing but “pack the courts”

THINK DemocracyDemands NO Appointments!!!

THINK No, no, no. The answer is to uphold the rule of law, uphold the rules. Otherwise we live in Trump world. The answer to all of our questions is the Constitution. May you find it now.

THINK If you know the way Can you take my hand I am lost Do you know this place I do not You know though Don't you Or, Are you lost too? Here in the clouds These pillows of dreams

THINK Democrats want to drastically change the constitution.

THINK As opposed to Republicans who actually pack the courts? 😡

THINK Yeah and when the GOP overtake the house and control all 3 then maybe they should.

THINK I don't know who these alleged Democrats are by this Liberal doesn't support such a move. Sounds like pure feldercarb to me.

THINK Sure Jan.😂🤣🤣

THINK And nominating the most unelectable Dem candidate wasn’t a great strategy

THINK I find this a lot more interesting, Liam

THINK Not nearly as effective as choosing Joe to be their mascot--especially since he chose Ho to be his EO VP.

THINK Oh yes, court packing will flip the 5% of undecideds to Trump and him still lose by 5%.................

THINK do you support racism against blacks? I will send to hell anyone who does not believe that God loves all races because they are all one. I hold the key to hell and you will be sorry.

THINK Bologna!

Florida congresswoman suggests impeachment, court packing in response to SCOTUS nomination clashRep. Val Demings spoke about the possibility of impeachment and court packing as ways to prevent Trump from appointing a new Supreme Court justice. Hasn't that always been the plan? Only now, with Republicans fully, fully showing their hand; fuck 'em. Enough 'olive branch', 'reaching across the aisle' horseshit. Get the House, get the Senate, get the Presidency, and it's on.

'Summon Your Conscience': Biden Implores GOP Senators To Wait On SCOTUS NominationJoe Biden implored Senate Republicans to wait on Trump's Supreme Court nominee until after the presidential election. 'Just because you have the power to do something doesn't absolve you of your responsibility to do right by the American people,' he said. Appealing to the honor of people who have abandoned honor is futile. This is everything. Worth a watch. Everything that needed to be said.
