I mean, they could, but unless they think it would stop 51 Republicans from voting to confirm, it won't do anyhting.

Probably not. There's not really a precedent to do it or not do it, so it's theoretically possible. Good luck getting a majority in both houses to agree to it, though.

>If Dems have the Pres and majorities in 2020,
>can they pack the court?

Theoretically, yes, but it would make the fight to pass health care back in 2009/10 look like a walk in the park.

>Are all Dems at least on board to vote no?

We'll see, but that's the decision for red state Dems. Are you going to get banged for voting against him or not? I don't know how much "Joe Manchin voted against Kavanaugh" would actually motivate voters in WV, but if it scares them into doing it, it probably doesn't matter.

>Any republicans wavering at all?
Nope

>Or are we all just fucked for 40+ years?
Basically this
