Should SCOTUS be increased to 13?

[Hutch Starskey]

Be honest, the only and I mean the only reason you want to expand the court is not to make America stronger and better, you want the Democrats to control all three branches of government, your stance is pro party and anti-American.

As opposed to the current dynamic?
A more balanced court is preferable. It keeps the justices more honest when they’re all forced to follow the law and precedent rather than politics.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Dems would get to RIG the SCOTUS by appointing 4 more flaming left wingers.

As opposed to RW rigging?

 

[Hutch Starskey]

A show of hands, with Dems obvious desire to RIG the SCOTUS who feels the least bit bad that we took two appointments away from them?

You have zero self awareness.
As if taking those two appointments wasn’t rigging in any way.

 

[blackhawk]

It’s not about that at all.
It’s about restoring the balance that had been in place for decades. Only one party has rat fucked the SCOTUS and it ain’t the Dems.

The dems lost the 2016 election which is why the court stands as it now does as someone once said elections have consequences. If the left had won in 2016 and the court was now a 6-3 liberal court neither you or any other lefties would have an issue with the court.

Dems made the first move, decided to go full gutter politics. Are you upset that we are playing by the Dem's own rules?

 

[Couchpotato]

The state justice departments will suffice.

Ditch the SCOTUS completely.

Except for that pesky Constitution….

Oh, so all of a sudden everybody cares about the Constitution? lol...

Congress actually does have extensive authority over a varying degree of the Supreme Court's structure and operations, though.

They should start with passing legislation dictating which issues the Supreme Court can no longer rule on.

They shoud start...

Sure if there is a legitimate reason to. One side not liking the make up of the court or disagreeing with some of their decisions doesn’t qualify.

Can you read?
Context is king. Start with what I responded to for a clue.

The only one to make you cry like a little bitch?

One of the biggest problems is that Congress tends to kick its responsibility over to the SC.

Congress has been derelict for quite some time in that regard.

They got comfortable doing that.

Huh?
McConnell stole Obama’s appointment.
The court would still be 5-4 if he hadn’t.

Increasing the size wouldn’t change that.

Which rules are those?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

McConnell stole Obama’s appointment.

How did he do that?

Are you stupid or something?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Are you stupid or something?

I'm laughing at your whining.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

How did he do that?

So you are stupid then.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

So you are stupid then.

Nope, still laughing.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

I'm laughing at your whining.

That’s usually what idiots do.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

So you are stupid then.

No, actually that is the intelligent response to your whining.
