If it already wasn't, The Supreme Court Is Now On The Ballot.

[Redfish]

no I am not, explain

so the back story is fake news??? who put it out?

 

[Redfish]

I said there is a process for amending the constitution that includes Congress. Was I wrong?

https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artV-1/ALDE_00000507/

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.

They can and have already impeached a Supreme Court Justice, he just wasn't convicted in the Senate. The requirement of good behavior allows them to removed for bad behavior.

It’s hard to know the precise combination of developments that changed President Biden’s mind about Supreme Court reforms and prompted him to place them more centrally in the framework of the 2024 election.

Was it the ethics scandals of Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito and the Supreme Court’s own ineptitude in dealing with them? Was it the series of controversial decisions across a whole host of issues and areas of civic life in which the court wrested power away from the executive and legislative branches and placed it firmly in the judicial branch? Was it the six-justice conservative majority aggressively uprooting the court’s own precedents in pursuit of its own preferred legal and policy outcomes? Was it the fact that he’s trailing in the polls with his own re-election more at risk that at any previous point in his presidency?

All of the above are in play, of course. A tipping point was reached, and it’s unlikely any one development was the difference-maker.

trump's Court's popularity is in the shitter. Deservedly so. Perhaps this is a move by Joe to capitalize on voter sentiment. No matter the motive, reform is overdue. There must be accountability for crass ethics violations and for the lack of recusals when there are demonstrable conflicts of interest (hello Clarence). I can understand the Founders wanting to somewhat insulate the Court in order to maintain its independence. But they did not contemplate such a corrupt Court nor such polarized times.

 

[Rogue AI]

You morons need an amendment to make any changes. This is just pathetic gaslighting to rile up the rabid trash liberals to riot and hatemonger the Court because nothing will come of this whining.

 

[theHawk]

This is all the Dems have left, “mUy aBor-sHuNz”.

And they can’t get people to vote for unlimited and unrestricted abortions in every state so they want a “stacked court” to legislate from the bench.

Dems basically want to go back to the 1970’s.

 

[elektra]

Biden and the democrats are a danger to Democracy. The Supreme court is the third, equal branch of government. The democrats are facists using the executive branch of government like they are dictators.

Why don't you try expressing a complete thought? Was I wrong? Congress does have a role to play in the amendment process, no? They can propose Amendments, no? So what unilateral action are you accusing us of wanting now, Clown?

Wow, I smell desperation. The 2020 election tactics aren't working, so they are going clear back to Clinton. "It's the court, stupid." and look what that got us. RBG! and she was imminently more qualified than the diversity hire that Biden installed that can't even articulate what a woman is.

 

[AsherN]

Article III

You mean this:

Section 1​

The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

Says nothing about the number, and other than "during good behaviour" says nothing for or against term limits.

 

[HikerGuy83]

Then who would enforce it? It has to have some teeth to it or it is meaningless.

Not congress.

For one thing, they don't even enforce their own (which are really watered down as it is).

..changed President Biden's mind???? He has the mind of a 6 year old so I suspect hearing a frog croak could change his mind.
These wackos are sheeple morons.

 

[task0778]

Biden can propose plans all he wants to undermine the Supreme Court but he ain't gonna get 60 votes to do that in the Senate, nor a 50+1 vote in the House. Even if somehow he gets re-elected, he ain't gonna get those 60 votes in the Senate. So all this crap is nothing more than pandering to his base. IOW, bullshit.

And BTW, it's really rich when Biden or any other democrat talks about ethics, like they have the moral high-ground.

Biden to announce support for major changes to Supreme Court amid outrage over recent decisions: report

President Biden is reportedly planning to propose changes to the U.S. Supreme Court that could include proposals for legislation to establish term limits.

www.foxnews.com

President Biden is reportedly planning to endorse major changes to the U.S. Supreme Court, including proposals for legislation to establish term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code, as growing outrage continues following a series of controversial decisions.

"This decision today has continued the court’s attack in recent years on a wide range of long-established legal principles in our nation, from gutting voting rights (that is a lie) and civil rights (that is a lie) to taking away a woman’s right to choose (that is a lie), to today’s decision that undermines the rule of law of this nation,(that is a lie)" Biden said in public remarks later that day.


Comment:
Our constitution was designed to protect the citizens from a tyrannical government.
The Supreme Court is trying to protect us from the lawless Democrat Party.
They are not saving "democracy", they want a one-party dictatorship.
The corrupt Democrat Party can't operate within the bounds of our constitution; therefore, they are trying to destroy the balance of power between the Executive branch, Legislative branch and Judicial branch.
This is very dangerous; they will create a totalitarian police state.

Taking away a woman's right to choose is a lie?

Fuck you, you mother-fucking piece of shit! You fuckers will lie about anything. Fuck you! I mean it. Fuck you!

What is very troubling is he believes he should do so.

As an electrician....one of the things about working and going into an electrical system is that if you break it you have to fix it. And if you touch it you likely will break it.

So....if it's not broke do not fix it.

Currently the USA has the OLDEST and most successful government in world history.
From the institution of the Constitution...it's been a game changer for the whole world....especially after WW1 &WW2.

So....changing things that really aren't broken is a good way of destroying them.

Biden is a lame duck on his way our. Vegas odds are not going his way and many of his own party do not support him.

Why can't he be happy with a few midnight appointments and pardons? Because that's all he really is going to get....especially after the SCOTUS gutted his influence by restricting agencies to only enforce laws congress has actually made. And not enforce laws he only wish they would make.

(It's how he opened the southern border and made electric cars mandatory)


I get it....people want to promote the current ideologies of the day and to make laws and remove perceived roadblocks to promote those ideologies. But....

One quick look at history and see all the failed empires that did the exact same thing. Ottoman, British, Spanish, French, RC Church, Roman Empire, Persians, Greek, Mongols, and.....

If Biden gets his way....you can add the USA to the list.

The people must correct the mistakes of the Supreme Court at the ballot box.

 

[OKTexas]

I never mentioned that so I'm not sure why you even brought that up.




The court created a ruling out of nothing that covered the Executive.




It should work out fine for an unethical judge.

Then why would there be a need to change anything?

The Supreme Court rules by law, nothing needs to be corrected.....
other than ridding the White House of the evil within.

I notice you said "at the ballot box"....no need to actually stand in line and vote yourself right Mrs Jones???

It's coming--when Trump is elected in Nov.
