He spins it as some sort of conservative issue -- it's very much not.
People should be genuinely worried about this.
We're talking full judicial control of the most important decisions in the country.
Even people on the left who support Biden should be worried. This isn't one judge here, it's multiple.
Not only is there no reason for them to assume ACB is some sort of far-right partisan monster like they do, they're so brainwashed that they're willing to create the noose that'll be used to hang them later by supporting a party willing to go to this extreme.
This is a pure power grab.
After the multiple attempts to seize power over the last 4 years, the left -- particularly the younger ones, since the older ones are all but lost -- need to wake the hell up.
Their blind faith in MSM, Big Tech, corporate America, Hollywood, is stupid. They exist to exploit people. They will always do what's in their best interests -- not yours -- to accomplish that.
Packing the court will be the opening salvo of one party rule. They've articulated parts of their plan on multiple occasions. Creating however many states they need to ensure permanent control of the Senate. Allowing non citizens to vote. Removal of the filibuster. The perceived legitimacy of these decisions is contingent on control of the Supreme Court. The Left are done waiting for the frog to boil.
Traditionally, packing the courts has been a tactic of authoritarians looking to cement their power - it's hard to have your own actions deemed illegal when the body that decided that is full of those who would support your illegal actions.
The irony that you have the "anti-fascists" voting for someone who would basically be participating in fascist actions simply because of "drumpfler bad and orange" is not lost and is really concerning.

Perhaps we need a constitutional amendment defining how many justices there are on a Supreme Court.
Our government is not remotely constitutional. They should give the seat to Trump, which is ironically constitutional.
To be fair, if we could muster enough legislative unity to amend the constitution then court-packing wouldn’t be a problem
