PS after reading your comments , I see the ends justifies the means...
Usually when one says "the ends justify the means" in a negative or pejorative sense he is talking about folks who
ignore or break the rules to achieve their ends.
In this instance McConnell and Trump were duly elected, and they confirmed judges by the rules. No reason for you to like the outcome of course.
On the other hand, those who argue for court packing want to discard the rules and in my opinion destroy the best branch of the government to achieve a short-term political win. If you are looking for a legitimate group to label as the "ends justify the means" crowd, look no further than the court packers.
And yes, I am extremely happy to have thwarted the court packer crowd in this election, using traditional, legal and perfectly normal means.
