It means the "Because we can" rule is firmly ensconced as a senate precedent, so don't be surprised when the next Democratically run Senate puts it to use.
Empty threat.
Could be, but it would be a very helpful rule to use to increase the size of the supreme court.
Actually, that would be called "cheating." It would be like you're losing a checkers game, so you want to add more black checkers on the board.
Not cheating. Completely Constitutional.
Constitutional only if the Democrats gain full control of the presidency, the House, and the Senate.
Doesn't appear that that's going to happen for a long time.
