This media-manufactured "issue" has been really ticking me off. Thanks for writing about it.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I think that the Democrats should embrace the concept. Look, at this point the Republicans have effectively stolen two Supreme Court seats. Merrick Garland should be on the Court, and now RBG is about to be replaced by someone who makes Justice Alito look like a flaming liberal. My message to the American public would be just that: We (the Democrats) are now looking to rebalance the Court to more accurately reflect the views and positions of the majority of the country. And to that I'd add term limits for the federal courts. Now, granted, the Mango Menace has appointed tons of young, far right judges so this wouldn't matter in most cases because they'll still be on the bench for decades, but at least there would be a finish line of sorts for these judges.
