Make no mistake, Harris-Biden will pack the courts

[skews13]

You have a problem with that?

I do. I think it is a childish, knee-jerk reaction to a “problem” that was not a problem until modern Democrats lost elections and their most powerful vehicle for shaping the direction of this country, The Supreme Court.

I have a problem in that a vote in Montana should count as much as a vote in Chicago. I have a problem in that the Legislative Branch and the States should have the biggest weight shaping the direction of our Country.

Harris-Biden will fundamentally transform that.

Childish?

Like refusing to consider an opponents Supreme Court Pick for a year?

Condemn both actions and I will agree with you

Elections have consequences Democrat scum.

What would scum like Harry Reid do?

Glad you understand that.

And consequences cut both ways.

Democrat lowlifes are so obsessed with controlling the majority in the Supreme court that they will definitely pack the court if given the opportunity. That means they need the Presidency along with the Senate majority. And that is exactly why not to vote for Democrats. They have shown they support chaos, destruction and tyranny throughout the summer. Now just for a moment consider that Democrats pack the court. What happens when Republicans get the majority back? Naturally they will pack the court some more to get the majority back. Eventually, they'll be forced to hold the SC in RFK Stadium due to the size of the court. Packing the court is a stupid idea along with making DC and Puerto Rico states. They're all attempts to destroy the balance of power. Democrats are unfit to rule.

Aren't you anti "taxation w/o representation?"

I have a Democrat representative and one Democrat and one neocon Senator. I'm living the taxation without representation dream. But whether I like it or not, this is our system. My bitch would be with ANY form of election tampering.

I so hope the Dems make Republicans pay for being total a-holes, allowing the country to wallow in a malaise never thought of before under the leadership of this nut! Everyday he does something that only helps his opposition so I say "keep on keepin' on!" Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer should abuse the rightwing-nuts the way they have the Dems relentlessly while they "packed the courts" with extreme, incompetent judges! The country will be paying for McConnell's actions for decades to come!

Harris came off like an insecure HS sophomore last night sneering and jeering and shaking her head at Pence when he was calling out her record. She didn’t have the balls to stand on her own record.

The most confident she got is when Pence called her out to see if she was going to pack the court. First, she played the race card which is what Democrats and Liberals do when they can’t argue then she tried to invoke Lincoln..... but never answered the question.

Democrats lose and they immediately want to change the rules. A Harris-Biden Presidency will result in an expanded Supreme Court and Elimination of the Electoral College.

Harris-Biden. You read that correctly.

If you assholes ramrod your judge, then all bets are off.
Perhaps we will, perhaps we won't. Deal with it.
You steal two seats and sometimes there is hell to pay!

It was all about respect for Senate traditions.
There are no traditions anymore

You win.....you make the rules

 

[rightwinger]

I would just as soon not pack the courts.

How about Dems offer a deal. Dems agree to take Court Packing off the table and Republicans agree to DC and Puerto Rico Statehood

First things D's need to do when they take the Oval and the Senate?
No more judicial nominations until the 60 vote threshold.
This will take politics out of it and ensure that moderates control the courts again.

I thought last time Puerto Rico voted on statehood they said no? And why would you give a place like DC statehood? It's about 5% the size of Rhode Island....Boroughs in NY have more land area and bigger populations...

Actually, the problem developed when Republicans refused to honor the nomination for a replacement justice made by President Obama on March 16, over seven months before the next election and has been compounded by naming a replacement for Ginsburg less than two months from an election. Democrats will always feel cheated, and hence, justified for an evening of the score.

Evening the score is all part of politics but when that involves radical transformation that includes increasing the size of the court and elimination of the Electoral College, clearly you’ve moved into a mode of vengeance where you are willing to transform the country away from a Representative Democracy.

Or, more likely, modern Democrats don’t know how to win in a Representative Democracy nor do they care. They want more Socialist models of government in the US and they want themselves locked-in as true 1 percenters.

It is all about WINNING

Republicans won the Senate and blocked Obama from filling Federal Court seats along with blocking the filling of a Supreme Court vacancy for a year.

Dems win the Senate, they will end the filibuster and add judges to the court.

Who cares as long as you WIN
Voters don’t care

Adding judges will be a radical departure from the Constitution. As much as Liberals will be celebrating the WIN in that scenario, it would expose significant failure among Democrats in the arena of winning mind share among voters with ideas and vision. I already know this about them.....they can't win on their own ideas, they must win by smearing their opponents.

If the Constitution wanted 9 judges, it would have said 9 judges

Instead it left the number up to Congress. Congress had a tradition of 9 judges, but we have seen what happens with Congressional traditions

If you're going to pack the court. Admit it. Tell America. Tell Biden and Harris to say it.

Quit the deception and say YES, if elected, I will pack the court with leftwing activist.

There is no way for knowing how the American people will feel about this topic in 2021.

The voters won’t care
They didn’t care that Republicans held a Supreme Court Vacancy open for a year in 2016, they wont care if Democrats add a few more seats.

Most voters don’t know how may justices there are now, they certainly will have other things to worry about by 2024

You got this part right. Voters are ignorant, particularly Democratic voters. Democrats rely on this ignorance every election cycle. Those of you that vote for Democrats AND have more than a nat brain should not welcome the destruction of one of our 3 branches of government.

I always find it interesting how strict Constitutionalists change their minds when the Constitution doesn't support their position. Folks we call our founders left a door open for a time when someone might abuse the court system they designed. Adding justices and the size of courts is the remedy they chose.

What abuse is this you speak of? Trump was elected for a 4 year term starting in 2016. His term is not over until the end of 2020. The Senate was elected with a Republican majority from 2018 until the end of 2020. The voters have spoken and it is the President and Senate's jobs to appoint justices during his 4 year term, not for 3 years and 10 months.

It was also the Senate's job to process Obama's nominees as long as he was in the office..which they didn't do did they.

Point to where it says in the constitution one or the other party can't do it.

 

[rightwinger]

And why would you give a place like DC statehood? It's about 5% the size of Rhode Island

DC has a population bigger than Wyoming and Vermont. They also pay more Federal Taxes than 22 other states

All this and they do not get to vote for a Senator or Congressman. They pay hefty taxes but they don’t get to vote on how it is spent.

Taxation without Representation

To late. The courts have already been packed. To suggest that they will be packed, is a ration of horse shit.

To suggest at least one whole generation of people will have to tolerate decisions from an activist court system packed with unqualified sycophants, is unacceptable, and beyond any notion of compromise.

The Dems should immediately end the filibuster, expand the entire federal court system, not just the Supreme Court, and grant statehood to DC, and Puerto Rico, and sit those new Senators, and Representatives.

And they must go a step further. With no filibuster rule in the way, codify the Voting Rights Act, and abortion rights into federal law, and overturn Citizens United, making dark money PAC's illegal punishable by prison terms, and fines in the tens of millions of dollars.

And to dash the hopes of conservatives looking to take back power, and change it, become Santa Clause, and create universal basic income, a national health care system, a federal minimum wage of $15 an hour, and a paid family leave law.

Then change the voting date from November, to a date during the summer, and make it a national holiday, with paid time off.

The righties would never recover from it, if the Dems had the guts to do it.

Harris-Biden. You read that correctly.

Changing the composition of the Supreme Ct can only be done by a vote of both houses of Congress. . Eliminating the EC requires a Constitutional amendment, which requires a 2/3 vote of both houses of Congress and ratification by 3/4 of the state legislatures.Harris and Biden cannot do either one by themselves.

Democrats will NOT be "packing" the courts, but "EXPANDING" them with capable and experienced judges who actually KNOW what they are doing! (Did you know Trump nominated FOUR unqualified judges to the federal bench? And 2/TWO of them actually got their jobs?)

He had become too close to Justice Ginsberg and was beginning to lean her way on some legal issues.
