People in my house are tired of me ranting about how the republicans have, once again, framed the issue in a false, but compelling, way. "Packing" the court has instantly become the official media term for being forced to consider balancing the court's disposition as a means of saving ourselves. I especially liked your point, Eric, about having the 8-person court forced on us by republicans who, of course, do not bat an eye when they mire themselves in hypocrisy.

Mr. Boehlert, the answer lies with Biden. Each time he’s asked if he’ll “pack the Court”; he should answer that the Republicans have been “packing” Courts for years. When the Federalist Society has to approve nominations on political grounds. That’s packing. When McConnell refuses to even consider any appointment by President Obama; that’s packing.
