COMING SOON TO A THEATER NEAR YOU: Kavanaugh II, Electric Bugaloo. 

Back up, Don Corleone! Democrats are threatening to “go to the mattress” if “Don” Mitch McConnell follows through on confirming “Don” POTUS’ replacement for Ruth Bader Ginsburg before the election.

Only slightly more genteel than the mafia, “the mattress” in this instance includes abolishing the filibuster and expanding the Supreme Court, naturally with ideological semblables.

Never mind that RBG herself was against court “packing,” calling it “partisan” in an interview with Nina Totenberg, adding “9 seems to be a good number… I think it was a bad idea when President Franklin Roosevelt tried… I am not at all in favor of that…”

Or that if the Democrats pack the court with three or four new justices voting their way, and then the Republicans come back and do the same, pretty soon the Supreme Court will be as large and useless as the UN.

To be fair, I’d be happy to see the Supreme Court rendered useless — it would avoid these nuclear-level scrums each time a Supreme Court justice is replaced.
