You can’t “pack” the Court by replacing a justice who has died or retired. No where is it written that the Court must be balanced in their judicial philosophy or even political leanings. If there were to be six presidents in a row all of the same party, then the Court appointments would reflect that and by extension would be the will of the people.
The AoC was replaced because the states decided that more federal power was needed. The delegates from the states created the federal government, so it was their prerogative to refine it.
You’re right, the economy was and should have been a factor in the decisions surrounding the virus. I believe the tension there is where the great divide in public opinion lives.
