Despite however the election goes, the Democrats have put up 0 or negative fight when it came to ACB getting confirmed. It's basically gonna happen. Republicans said "we made this precedent, now we're getting rid of it, fuck you" and the Democrat's response as a whole has been "yeah sure, I guess that's fine". It should have been an absolute non-starter for them, but they're still hanging in there trying to appease these Republican shitbags. And with that, their chances of doing much to actually move forward seems near 0. There's room to see if anything doesn't quite go as expected, but the typical pattern of Republicans setting the Democratic doormat down to be stepped on is holding just fine.

I agree, and there's absolutely no way they'd even consider packing the courts / adding more SCJs either, even given the fact that there's a reasonable chance that the presidency + the Senate + the House all end up blue.
