Big surprise. When Democrats don't get what they want, they change the rules.

Any politician who supports a court packing scheme should be removed from office.

When FDR (Democrat) tried something similar, his own party was outraged. Luckily his "court packing scheme" never came to be.

Any senator who refuses to even vote on a nomination should be removed from office, but they weren't.

That's a form of court packing, which has made other forms of court packing more palatable for Democrats.

I guess your faction should have thought of that before running a comic book level long game to stack the courts yourself then 🤷
