Exactly this.
Get your robes now -
Because if this shit starts - eventually we will ALL be Justices - and there will be a robe shortage....
I am sure the concern you profess is truly the outcome that your ilk is focused on avoiding.
It is infinitely better for there to be a robe shortage than a surplus of conservative justices Seated by duplicitous and fraudulent means.

Turning the other cheek simply means both of your cheek bones will be broken. By the time the public turns against the GOP, there would be no recognizable United States left.
No they did not. But if a majority of the public doesn't support adding seats to the court, we'll be handing the Senate back to the Republicans in 2022, and guess what happens to a Biden nominee at any level then? It's not turning the other cheek, it's not walking into a sucker punch. The conservative court obstructing FDR changed their tune when packing the court became a real possibility, and that's what we should hope for, because if Dems add three, the Republicans will add five next time they're in power.
If you think the republicans will be less likely to try to manipulate the justice count when it suits their objective merely because you refrained when it is to your advantage, you have not been living on this continent since 1994.
Do you truly believe what the republicans will Gleefully and contemptuously do to your if you held your fire Out of caution and moderation, will not be as bad as what they might do to your out of vengeance if you hit as hard as you can whenever you Can?
In the second case, you at least stand the chance of stunning them and weakening them and make them also worry what you might them further down the line.
In the first case you will just reaffirm they Can freely string your up by the balls whenever it amuses them because you are too timid to ever take revenge. So they will freely string you up by your balls whenever it amuses them.
The underlying dynamics of the politics of this country has degenerated from the balance of courtesy to the Balance of terror from 1994-2008. The side that lives in more terror of what its enemies might do In return is the side that effectively disarms itself and has effectively already lost. All that is left for it is to climb voluntarily into the casket. Wake up.
