-The DC Circuit, while important, has a very low caseload, and these three judges are not going to have a very significant impact, especially with a lot of senior Reagan-era nominees still staffing cases.
-Maybe his goal is to staff the bench with 50- to 52-year-old judges who'll be shortlisted for the next Democratic administration for SCOTUS. But that's a very very long game and assumes that no one else in the wings is any good for a short list.
-There's only a couple of years left in his term for him to even get nominees through, and he's nominated at a lower rate.
So while I get that Obama and Reid have advantages to going nuclear, doesn't this, in the long run, likely fail a Rawlsian test in terms of long-term advantage?
Anyone liberals want to defend on the basis of something I'm missing. tyia

I believe this is called the "QUICK DO SOMETHING...ANYTHING...TO CHANGE THE CURRENT MEDIA NARRATIVE" tactic.
Or perhaps that tactic's cousein, the "WE'RE GETTING DESTROYED IN THE MEDIA ALREADY, MIGHT AS WELL CRAM IN AS MUCH BAD SHIT AT ONCE AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAVE SO MANY MINUTES OF AIRTIME TO BLAST US" gambit.

the democrats have a structural advantage in the electoral college and will probably hold the white house for the foreseeable future, even though gerrymandering and rural districts will keep the gop in control of the house. if a democratic president has a friendly DC circuit he can simply do whatever he wants and get them to rubber stamp it.
obama is already going this.
