This could backfire on them, as when Harry Reid eliminated filibusters on judges.
That gave the usually spineless GOP the backbone to retaliate by extending it to SCOTUS, with the monumental result that simple majority votes will set the SC for a generation.
If the liberals go ahead and pack the court, the backlash could lead to a sweeping reform of the whole federal judiciary when conservatives take power afterwards.
With a packed court the Dems will never lose power again. That’s the end game. I’ve been accused of being negative here on FR but I will say it again. The next time the Dems have all three branches and maybe just the Pres and Senate they will pack the court and then rule by decree. They will be ruthless and relentless. The learned their lesson with Trump.

Something tells me at this point if they ever regain total control, they will make sure there are no conservatives left this time. That is why when Commies take over countries, they kill MILLIONS of people.
