Republicans are suddenly outraged at the idea of expanding the Supreme Court, allegedly so Democrats can add some of their own to the bench and thus pack the court in their favor.
Therefore, wrote one of their flacks, "there has never in history been a more important time" to defeat Democrats in November. The pitch cites a tweet indicating that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) supports adding four seats to SCOTUS. (Therefore, send money.)
An odd pitch, warning of a court-packing, since the GOP did just that a few years ago by stalling President Obama's single appointment so Donald Trump could name three conservative Republicans to the court.
But they do make one valid point: Politicizing the judicial system is a bad idea.
Perhaps they will listen to their own propaganda.
