Between 2008 and 2016, Republicans BLOCKED the appointment of *105* (you read that right) federal judgeships nominated by Obama including a Supreme Court pick which the Constitution GUARANTEED and Republicans DENIED.

MEDIA: "But DEMOCRATS want to pack the court."
It was always the Republican plan to undo very popular laws through the corruption of US courts:

75% of Americans support safe, legal abortion.

79% support protections for pre-existing conditions.

Since Republicans can't legislate these away, they're trying to cheat instead.
The constitution DOES NOT STIPULATE how many justices serve on the Supreme Court but it clearly gave power to Obama to appoint Garland.

So, if Republicans are going to try to change laws by VIOLATING the constitution, the least Democrats can do is protect laws by ENFORCING it.
