Both parties are willing to "pack" the courts when it is in their interest.
"Republican governors in Arizona and Georgia have signed bills passed by GOP-dominated legislatures to expand the number of seats on their states’ respective high courts. In Iowa, the Republican governor gained greater leverage over the commission that names judicial nominees."

Perhaps your forgot what has been dubbed the Biden Rule:
- Biden gave a long speech in June 1992 calling for then President George H.W. Bush to not proceed with a Supreme Court nomination should a vacancy occur, although there was none at the time. This speech would later be dubbed “The Biden rule.”
- In his speech, Biden made a case for both parties, and the White House and Senate, to work together on Supreme Court nominations.
- Biden didn’t appear to rule out a nomination after Election Day, stating that a “nomination must be put off until after the election campaign is over."
The problem you left wing pussies had was when "what is good for one" was applied, you didn't like it. It came around and you whined.

We should eliminate the vote, just have some NYT polls done and declare a victor to appoint as Dear Leader regardless of the vote. Polling done by "news" sources should also be the SCOTUS replacement. Dear Leader should just announce new laws, no need for a Legislature elected by those idiot citizens who elected people they don't think should be elected. All these changes will also eliminate that pesky Constitution that keeps getting in the way of their grip on total power.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

True, but until Mitch stepped in, Supreme Court Justice hearings were still subject to closure/filibuster, meaning the nominee weren't confirmed on a strict majority vote, the minority had a say, consequently, overt ideologues nor political hacks were appointed as we have seen during the Trump era
Only in your world. We both know the federal courts interpret the Constitution and have made many changes in its meaning and operation since 1789 including many of the founders who probably were aware of what they created.
States have no power to change the Constitution without corresponding federal action. Otherwise, it completely negates the entire purpose of the Constitution to create a central government with increased power over that relatively weak document created under the Articles of Confederation.
