Why?
I am not a "progressive", as in I don't define progress based on ret@rded communist egalitarian ideals (i.e. equality of outcomes), but we are not in the 50s anymore either. And corporations are not people. And executive power is NOT absolute power etc.
So, I don't see how packing the courts with closed-minded individuals is good for the country, especially given the fact that the majority of the people will be much more open-minded than the judges/justices in 10-20 years.
The biggest sinners are at the Supreme Court which, for the last 100 years, has interfered with state rights and has created the kind of monstrosity of a federal government that the Founders wanted to avoid. Somehow everything has to do with "interstate commerce" nowadays, and is a federal matter, which is ridiculous. The solution is not packing the courts with right- or left-sided extremists, depending who's in power; the solution is packing them with moderate decent human beings who believe that this is a UNION of SEPARATE and DIFFERENT states, each with its own customs and laws, as the Founders intended. And I see Biden as being way more moderate and bipartisan than Trump (hence his occasional right-leaning votes in the past - e.g. Iraq war, crime bill), i.e. the lesser of two evils.
If one agrees with the politics of a judge, one should not be happy with him/her. Why? Because one should not be able to tell which "side" a judge is on. The only side that matters is the side of the Founders and of the federal/state constitutions. That's the kind of federal judge/justice I respect. Judges should not create precedents that rewrite laws based on the "times" or their own beliefs. That privilege belongs ONLY to the People, i.e. the legislative branch. We don't need more civil wars, even if virtual, because one side tries to impose its values by using the courts, like the trumpists (or the "progressives" - more correctly, the radical left).
More food for thought:
At what point do judges on the left finally push back?
