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

[Lesh]

Whether your characterization is right or not it's still the right thing to do for the country. The Court has lost its credibility. Anyone paying attention understands it is in the tank for trump.

Trumpers certainly are paying attention

They celebrate it

 

[Lesh]

Good
That means no one will care when Trump expands the court.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he did.

One more reason that he can NOT be allowed the Presidency again

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.

Biden Elevates Supreme Court Reform To His Re-Election Agenda

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.

In case you have not noticed the USSC is on the ballot i n every Presidential election.

LOL
Of course, you don't mind Biden expanding the court.

 

[Dragonlady]

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.

No they do not. There are any number of fixes which can be enacted which will end the Federalist dark money control of the Supreme Court.

 

[Dragonlady]

LOL

Having seen how easily corruptible the Court can be, it's a no brainer that it needs to be larger. You only need to bribe 5 Justices, and Bob's your uncle.

Exactly.
That's why Trump should add 4 justices.
Glad you agree.

As soon as you present your juris prudence degree.

So you can't prove "most credentialed legal scholars disagree with you."

This is what tyrants always do when the law get in the way of the fascist agenda.

All the more reason not to vote for xiden and the demafasict

They will destroy our institutions

Not like this time. Not with respect to rules proposed to address the corruption and unaccountability that has recently come to light.

 

[struth]

A. You keep telling us we are not a Democracy. Make up your mind

B. Getting rid of Presidential immunity is the OPPOSITE of dictatorial

You don’t need to over throw the third branch of govt to do it…follow the democratic process, make an amendment

 

[berg80]

Biden wants to utilize the democratic process to reform the Court. What fascists do when the law gets in the way is hatch an illegal plan to use fake electors to steal a presidential election.

President Biden is finalizing plans to endorse major changes to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, including proposals for legislation to establish term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code, according to two people briefed on the plans.

He is also weighing whether to call for a constitutional amendment to eliminate broad immunity for presidents and other constitutional officeholders, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations.

Haha what facist do is poltical prosecution and encourage assassination of their rivals.

Does a fascist enact laws to REMOVE immunity for themselves?

No?

Oh

No?

Oh

Who is doing that?

 

[whitehall]

So you think it's a coincidence that their unconventional thinking (to be kind) has lead them to overturn established precedent as the Federalist Society expected they would when they..........I mean trump.........nominated them? They simply know better than the justices that came before them because why...........their ideological extremism makes them so?

"Established precedent"? What does that mean? There is nothing in the Constitution that indicates "a woman's right to privacy" entitles her to hire someone to kill the unborn life inside her. Does "established precedent trump (pardon the pun) Constitutional law?

A statement of amazing ignorance

It seems almost every discussion comes back to the essential falsehoods trump has told, and The Following believes, about a broad array of topics. Primary among them being his failed attempt to steal the election and the grand jury authorized prosecutions for his crimes based on the evidence presented to them.

"Established precedent"? What does that mean?

The legal principle of determining points in litigation according to precedent.

Oh don’t blame the grand juries for your political prosecutions. They get presented on the evidence the demafasict prosecutors want them to see
