If the Democrats try to pursue this in congress, the GOP will use the argument that it sets the precedent to change the court every time one party is at a political/ judicial disadvantage
Instead of ignoring and shaming the GOP into oblivion over their actions in the last four years, the moderate establishment wing of the party decides to dust off their high horse and say, "Well, lets hear them out and try to compromise bloo blaa bluuup!", and there the motion will languish among dozens of others for the next two years while the GOP takes to their propaganda networks where they forget Trump ever happened and blame democrats for everything that's wrong with the country today and in the next two years until the heirs of the Tea Party/ Trumpists reclaim the house and senate again in the 2022 midterms where they will obstruct everything a Biden/ Harris administration tries to do until the next election where they'll run someone else who can convincingly emulate the Trumpist populism that won them the Electoral College and the White house in 2016.
It's not really a fix... It's a temporary solution at best. A lot of politicians seem to fail at seeing any further than two to 4 years into the future.

I get the logic but it doesn't mean that republicans won't randomly still be in power when a seat opens.
