So would you be ok if Republicans won this election and then packed the Supreme Court?

  No. I would not be happy about it. But I fully expect them to do it. There are no longer norms. Screw the country. It is every man for himself.

    The republicans had the opportunity to do it, and haven’t...

      Why would they need to pack the court? They already have a political majority, do they not? No need to break a norm when it confers no additional benefits (as the breaking of the previous norms did).

        They didn’t have majority until recently, and according to Vox and many left leaning sites, they’ve voted quite liberally since. Further, there’s this: https://thehill.com/regulation/454463-ginsburg-dismisses-court-packing-and-term-limits-for-supreme-court-justices https://thehill.com/regulation/454463-ginsburg-dismisses-cou...

          The Republicans don't generally vote as a bloc on most things. And many of them hate the President as much as the Democrats do.

            For the record I was refuting the person above me. I don’t think they’d pack the court.

              I don't think either side would actually do it. It's a political talking point, but it's just a bridge too far.
