It’s not hard to detect this pattern.

When Justice Thurgood Marshall, a giant of the civil rights movement died, the Republicans went out and found themselves a black person who could be counted on to help undo all of his achievements. They found him in Clarence Thomas.

I never thought I’d be in favor of packing the court, but should Trump fail to steal the election, and should the Democrats take the Senate, I’m all for it. Turnaround is fair play. Or, to put it another way, tit-for-tat.
