Last year, Democrats and their media mouthpieces engaged in a steady, months-long stream of accusations of wrongdoing by certain conservative Supreme Court justices. Democrats wanted to pressure those justices to resign or even to impeach them, so that then-President Joe Biden could replace them with leftists who would vote the way Democrats wanted on key political issues before the court.

At various times during Biden's presidency, Democrats also talked about ramming through a law to add justices to the court, so that Biden or Kamala Harris (when she was a candidate) could appoint more of them to change the institution's composition. Republicans loudly and correctly denounced Democrats’ court-packing efforts.

Now, it appears the scenario has flipped. President Trump and some in his administration are trying to do something similar, only to Federal Reserve Bank governors.

Court-packing was wrong when Democrats tried to do it, and Fed-packing is wrong when Republicans try to do it.
