>>1255728>>Donald Trump leaves the White House having appointed more than 200 judges to the federal bench, including nearly as many powerful federal appeals court judges in four years as Barack Obama appointed in eight.that is literally because obongo was a lazy piece of shit who refused to do his job
>Then there's the matter of McConnel refusing to consider any of Obama's nominees for the Supreme Court in 2016, saying that the election should decide it.in the past 170 years no lame duck president has ever nominated and gotten a scotus member confirmed during an election year with an opposite party senate. Call it the biden rule, because biden said in 1992 he would not allow bush to confirm any scotus judges before the election and that the people should decide. turtle was just following history and biden's rule
>Then they hypocritically ignored this logic in 2020 and appointed Amy Coney Barret to the Supreme Court 1 month before the 2020 election.10 times a scotus has opened in an election year when the senate and president were the same party and 9 of those 10 times a judge was confirmed. if the people didn't want this they would have put in a dem majority in the senate like the people did to obongo in 2014
also none of this is packing the court. at no point did the GOP change the size of the court like the dems are demanding
>As far as "federalizing" elections, Trump wanted Pence to unilaterally dismiss state appointed electors on Jan 6th, and many House Republicans also voted to dismiss these state appointed electors.that isn't federalizing the elections. Also dems literally voted to overturn the 2000, 2004 and 2016 elections. go look up maxine waters. In 2008 it was the funniest because she straight up wanted to get rid of Wyoming's electors because they are white
