M.O.B. Votes:

qualifications of the nominees (refusing to even hold hearings) and waiting to get an election result you like better in order to fill vacant seats is packing the court. You have basically reduced the size of the court until after an election, and then expanded the size of the court afterward. Even according to your limited definition, expanding the size of the court is court packing
