The original title is:

But how will they steal the next election without them?

They won't stop, that's literally why they're confirming them

Were there any nominees that acknowledged that the election was lawful?
nozzlegear•11m ago
Perhaps more revealing would be this: how many nominees weren't nominated at all because they didn't deny the election? The world may never know.

That was basically my point. The choice probably was already made by the nomination, and the senate had no way to demonstrate that they would also confirm for other reasons as well.
netsharc•8m ago
So, will there be a purge of these sycophantic judges if "law and order" returns (big if)?

If by miracle Democrats return to power, they might get around to asking these judges and they'll enthusiastically say "Of course Biden won 2020! Can I get my paycheck now?"...
