Republicans need to stop playing defense and play offense.
Use the nuclear option.
Next year with a Republican President and Republican Congress, they should start stacking the Supreme Court with more Justices.
Congress can change the number of justices on the Supreme Court without a Constitutional amendment. They did it several times in the 1800’s. Maybe it’s time they at least doubled the Court to 18. With more members, it wouldn’t be so dependent on one member to tip it this way or that.

We are going to see if McConnell has huevos or has had them removed in a secret procedure

Congress doesn’t need to expand the number of judges. FDR tried that and as popular as he was at the time, he failed. What they should do is urge the states to pass an amendment that limits judges to, say, ten years on the bench, or twelve. When the founders wrote the constitution, the average life expectancy was about 50 years. They had no way of knowing that 200 years later judges would be sitting on the bench well into their 80’s. of course, Democrats would fight that idea.
