They don't intend for their opposition to ever be in a position to engage in court reform, because they don't intend for their opposition to ever again hold political power.

This is correct. GOP on the whole has been making blatant end-game moves for the last 8 years. They do it openly because they intend to win by any means necessary and the consequences won't matter once they seize control and remove all legal/political mechanisms for remedy.
