You already packed the court. That's what holding vacancies open for nearly a *year* under a Democratic president so that they can be filled by a Republican is. That's court packing. What we're going to do now is expand the courts.

Something we're WAY overdue for, by the way, and something that "originalists" ought to love. The size of the Supreme Court isn't fixed in the Constitution, precisely because it's meant to be adjusted to fit the needs of the country as it grows.
The court hasn't been expanded in over a hundred years, despite dramatic growth in population and the size of the federal court system. We're overdue.
Besides which, the last three Presidents to expand the Supreme court were - brace yourself - Grant, Lincoln and Trump's personal hero, Andrew Jackson. Republicans are *fine* with expanding the court when it's useful to them. There's no reason for Democrats not to do the same.
