The motherf**ker is already burned to the ground. If Republicans confirm Trump's pick before the election or in a lame duck period, they've already packed.
What is so hard about this concept for you? If Republicans pack and the Democrats pack back just to even out the margin to where it would have been without the Republican pack, they're putting out the fire.
It it painfully obvious that this will not end there. You are not putting out the fire. You are throwing gasoline on it.
You're right, but it's better to rule than be ruled by a racist, authoritarian minority party. With an illegitimate 6-3 GOP majority, Democrats might as well cease legislating, because the Court will just invent some bull**** pretext to strike down any law Republicans oppose. Nothing would be more destructive to the stability of the political system than a deranged minority continually thwarting the popular will.
