Changing the rules could involve only allowing white men to vote, only allowing people over 35 to vote, only allowing red states to have on Senator each, etc. All of these are rule changes that could be kick started by legislation (yes, I realize many would require an amendment). None of them are desirable.
So you know how changing the rules applies to packing the SCOTUS so I don’t even know why you asked.
Quote:Under the rules nothing was done wrong. I'd stress that's by the letter of the rule, not the spirit and yes I thought it was shady. However, any change to the number of SCOTUS justices would be a far cry beyond that.
Is changing the rules wrong? Especially when your job involves making and changing the rules? No.
Is changing the rules more shady than the shady stuff you admit the Republicans did? No. Not if they follow the rules that allow them to change the rules.
I don’t see this “far cry” difference.
