New York courts are not constitutional

When the trump conviction gets over turned you might finally understand what a constitutional court is.

They played fast and loose with the rules

Adding more Justices is within the rules

They played fast and loose with the rules

There is no rule that says a Senate of one party has to vote on a nominee from another party.

In the case of Biden, an administration is all you get to vote for.

There is no rule that says a Senate of one party has to vote on a nominee from another party.

And none that says the Court can’t be expanded

When threads get this long in the tooth it can be hard to get them back on track. They often take on a life of their own separate from the the thesis of the thread.

So...........anyone who has taken an in depth look at what is laid out in the text of P2025 understands it is a playbook for authoritarian rule.

Much of the plan’s nearly 900 pages detail extreme executive-branch overhauls. Among many recommendations, Project 2025 lays out plans for criminalizing pornography, disbanding the Commerce and Education departments, rejecting the idea of abortion as health care and shredding climate protections.

It calls out the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which includes the National Weather Service, as “one of the main drivers of the climate change alarm industry.” And it backs deploying the military “to assist in arrest operations” along the U.S.-Mexico border.

He has made no secret about his plans to gut civil-service protections, conduct the largest mass deportation effort in history, impose sweeping tariffs and target his enemies using presidential powers. His allies have developed a legal rationale to erase the Justice Department’s independence from the president, and several of his closest advisers are now vetting lawyers seen as more likely to embrace aggressive legal theories about the scope of his power.

Some of this, though not all of it, can be found in the Trump campaign’s own policy platform called Agenda47. It is more sparse than Project 2025. And even though Agenda47 is his campaign’s official list of policy priorities, Mr. Trump himself rarely mentions Agenda47 by name on the campaign trail.

What Is Project 2025, and Why Is Trump Disavowing It?

The Biden campaign has attacked Donald J. Trump’s ties to the conservative policy plan that would amass power in the executive branch, though it is not his official platform.

No wonder he pretends to know nothing about it. Telling that lie means he can't be held responsible for what's in it. IOW, he doesn't want the American people to know what he stands for. At least those voters who are on the fence. The Following, they don't care what it says. If Don likes it, they like it.

You don’t think the left wants to stack the scotus with leftist activists judges in order to carry out the democrat plan? You really believe that?

I'm okay with that given the danger a Trump presidency represents.

As President Biden met with world leaders at the NATO summit this week, his opponent, former president Donald Trump, was scheduled to meet with Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban — the autocratic leader who, like Trump, has questioned NATO policy toward Ukraine and Russia.

As Trump flaunts his association with dictators The Following says, "whatever Trump does, whoever he meets with, even dictators, is fine with me. Nothing he can do, including rape and insurrection, will stop me from voting for him."

Speculating about what Dems would do gives you the luxury of making assumptions. We know what Repubs did. They deceitfully stole two picks from Dem prez's because they had the power to do so.

You're ok not knowing who is making the decisions?
