Interesting.  That was kindof the  tactic that Kamala took, although she did 
not make it  explicit.

During one of his many terms FDR was accused of trying to pack the Court.  He 
responded that he was trying to unpack it.  I don't remember the details since 
I learned that in a U.S. history course I took during my junior year which was 
about 55 years ago.

Ha! That was the essence of one of the 538 panel member's phrasing suggestion 
for Kamala Harris in response to Pence's question about packing SCOTUS. The 
elaborated version was: "Because confirming Barrett, NOW, is such a horribly 
wrong thing to do, we have no choice BUT to pack the court." ... I.e. now look 
what you made me do. That was my dad's favorite phrase to justify whatever 
abuse he chose to mete out that day. He once ran over my bicycle with his 
truck. I *made* him run over my bike because I left it laying in the driveway. 
It's a running joke with my fellow drinkers who *regularly* FORCE me to drink 
more than I should. There is no free will. I live to serve.
