God damn the semantics are breaking my brain.

.

Hey let's not call it "packing" the courts then.

Let's call it "placeholdering" the courts any time you do dishonest shit to benefit the courts in your favor.

For examples refusing to vote on an opposition nomination and providing a stated reason for your refusal and then ignoring an even more extreme version of that reasoning less half a decade later when it benefits you. That will fall into "placeholdering" the courts.

And "placeholdering" the courts is still a fucking awful thing even if you aren't giving it the "packing" label.

A rose by any other name still smells sweet and a pile of feces by any other name still smells like shit.

Don't put the ACB confirmation shit in a colorful box with a bow on it and convince yourself it wasn't awful.
