Don't pack the court:

This evokes the paradox of tolerance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
As Trump et al have shown us, that sect of the right *will* pack the court when/if it suits them. Biden will probably decide *not* to make the attempt. But there will be no political will to pass a law *preventing* court packing. So the moderate Dems won't pack the court. But they'll happily leave the option open to the next Republican administration. It's an excellent example of how tolerance eliminates tolerance by tolerating intolerance.
