No, it's filibustering all of the other Party's nominees and refusing to vet and appoint members of the judicial system so that you can hold those seats open for when your Party can fill those seats.You as the other libs who have so far responded don't even have a clue what "packing the court" is. It isn't nominating, vetting, and appointing members of the Judicial system. That is the normal democratic means of filling Judicial vacancies, as was stipulated by our Constitution.
That's a form of court-packing: gaming the system in order to pack your ideological judges into office.
Holding open a SCOTUS seat for 11 months is court-packing, to - hopefully - get your ideological Justice into that office.
Are you referring to the "Biden Rule" and Merrick Garland? That "The Senate should hold off on additional confirmation hearings until after the 1992 presidential election", citing the combative nature of Thomas’s confirmation?
Maybe your candidate should have held his tongue back in '92, eh? Oh, and if you happen to see Harry Reid, please thank him for that Nuclear Option.
