the practice of changing the number OR COMPOSITION of judges on a court, making it more favorable to particular goals or ideologies
(emphasis added)
I suppose changing the composition via extraordinary means could count.
But Mr. Trump was only filling ordinary vacancies.

Just the opposite. It's the Democrats who put ideology in front of blind justice.
Republicans nominate judges who follow the law and the Constitution.

The Republicans didn't invent anything.
The Democrats created that precedent when they blocked W's nominees in 2007-08.

Mr. Garland was blocked as payback for W's nominees. There was no reason to block Mr. Trump's nominees.
MontereyJack wrote:so she could vote for him if it came before scotus.
No. So she could vote in favor of the law and the Constitution for the rest of her life.
MontereyJack wrote:That part of his packing didn't work fortunately.
That's because there was no packing to begin with.
