And exactly when did 'repubs' attempt to stack the court?

So when dems stack the court it's bad. But when repubs stack the court it's good?
By appointing nominees when a republican president is in office in accordance to the constitution and establish procedure?
Or by changing the rules as they go?
"Having to identify one’s own polling place and then travel there to vote does not exceed the ‘usual burdens of voting,'" Justice Samuel Alito wrote in his opinion upholding the Arizona laws.

To be fair, the general concept of standing in line for hours without refreshment or relief is fairly discouraging and doesn't exactly motivate me to participate in a voting process that isn't guaranteed to give me some degree of reward for my investment. And no, doing my patriotic duty by submitting a ballot doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies.
That's like your opinion bro and a prime example of WHAT'S WRONG in this Country.

Right. Cheating. Not at all like having Mitch McConnell deny Obama appointing a court member on the way out. But then allow Trump to appoint one when he was on the way out. Totally fair and balanced. No shenanigans at all.

Sure let's just ignore how Mitch said no to appointing a justice as Obama was going out so that Trump could appoint one. Then when Trump was going out he went ahead and appointed one anyway ignoring his own bs reason for not appointing one before Obama left.
So yeah.
