Biden would say he's trying to bring balance to a court that was stacked during the last administration.

Which brings us back to the point you glossed-over to make it about Biden instead.

The GOP stopping Obama's last SC nomination was wrong, wasn't it? And the Trump administration deliberately trying to make the court political for the next 4 years was bad wasn't it?

Or is it ONLY bad when it's the party that votes the opposite way to you?

This would make a good book, if then you make it so Washington absorbs the thoughts of who he eats, and their personality becomes part of his personality (while not overwriting/deleting the previous personalities).

Zombie Lincoln's weakness is a sneak attack but only if you have the actor attribute. I mean you can still bring silver bullets they are still bullets, but your are more cost-effective just bringing normal bullets.

Another Plaza addition:

New Mexico: Another amendment being considered would require appellate judges who were appointed to fill vacancies to be up for election in the first general election after they've served a full year. Currently, they have to go up for election at the next general election regardless of whether they've served a year, a month, etc.

Never mind.

As a historic aside, FDR’s court-packing shenanigans are not the last time someone tried to push the court (that sort of worked, mind, even though the actual push failed to add more justices, the court straightened up its act), but rather, LBJ, who got a Supreme Court justice to quit by appointing him UN ambassador (Arthur Goldberg) and another (Thomas Clark) to quit by making his son Attorney General and creating a conflict of interest
