All we need to know about Court packing:
One party ignored their Constitutional responsibility for about 270 days to hold a seat open, that they filled after an election. They claimed there should be no seats filled "in an election year."
That same party rammed a Justice through in about 40 days, in an election year, after people had already started mail-in voting, because they feared they would not be able to fill the seat after the election.
If that isn't "Court packing" then nothing is.
Elections have consequences.
Your team lost.

The impactful thing about what the Republicans did is that they set a precedent, one which is not good for the country.
Whereas the Senate used to consider and vote on Supreme Court nominees (they are Constitutionally obligated to do so), that's all changed. Now, the only way a Supreme Court vacancy will get filled is if the President's party also controls the Senate. If they are different parties, the Senate will just sit on the nomination until the next election, like the Republicans did with Garland.
It's dysfunctional, but that's what we have thanks to the Republicans.

That was a precedent set by Joe Biden in 1992.

Could you quote the part of the Constitution where it requires the Senate to consider and vote on nominees?
I recall language to the effect that the president may make nominations with the advise and consent of the Senate.
The Senate withheld their consent to Garland's nomination. That should have been more than enough advice to Obama to choose someone else.

The primary focus for a year or more has been "Biden it too old and senile to be President". Now that he stepped out of the race, they don't know what to do. They are trying "unfair" because Harris wasn't in the primary. They are trying "unfair" for Biden to step down. They are trying "DEI hire" for Harris. All this despite the whole country voting Harris to be 2nd in line for the Presidency. Of course they are continuing "border disaster!", despite refusing to pass reform and Biden has slowed border crossings without them. They are trying "crime infested America" despite data showing otherwise. They are trying the economy despite extremely low unemployment, higher wages, and expansion of American manufacturing.
But the biggest thing happening is the "election fraud" talk increased greatly as Trump and Republicans realize they are unlikely to win against Harris. Along with that talk comes all their own plans to ensure the election is fraudulent. This includes refusing to certify, fake electors, intimidation at the polls, intimidation of Congress. It is exactly what they did in 2020, but they plan to do more of it this time. There are checks and balances in the system, but the walls of democracy are only so thick and republicans are hitting from within while aligning with external forces hitting from the outside.
So are you a shill or just a sheep? Go do what you're told.
Your answer lacks any substance and is just childish name calling. Please try addressing the statements of the post.

Read the statement from the U.S. @StateDept
on the Investment Climate in El Salvador in 2024 here:
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
El Salvador’s location, preferential trade terms under the Central American Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR), use of the U.S. dollar as legal tender, a dramatically improved security situation, and recent improvements in the business environment are strengths as an investment destination. Ongoing liquidity challenges are a weakness.Kim Foxx could and other DA's could take notes. Locking up criminals, shockingly, reduces crime and leads to investment.

Kamala isn’t running on platform or policy, she is running on skin color.
And now she’s recruiting “White Dudes for Harris” and “White Women for Harris” to segregate voters.#FTLH
