The court was already packed by right wing ratfucking. I still want to knkw what Trump said to Kennedy that made him stop dead in his tracks and resign shortly after. And the fucking Scalia rules for thee but not for me debacle. And all that to say nothing of Leo and the Federalist Society.
Maybe part of the problem is the media never calls out right wing court packing, but then screeches from the rooftops when Biden even thinks about rebalancing the court.
Got any more info on that?
I thought it was to protect his son from being exposed in some shady deals?
I like using "stacking" to describe what happened. McConnell stacked the court.
It implies the same amount of ratfuckery but cuts off the useless retort of "nuh-uh they didn't add more than nine justices".
