Righties use the constitution to wipe their (unmentionables).Text of the Oaths of Office for Supreme Court JusticesLaw professor: Court-packing should be 'last resort'
Dems are mad that the POTUS gets to name judges and the Pub majority senate confirms.
As a result, Dimms can’t legislate from the bench as they always try to do because their policies suck d they can’t get legislation passed.
So the Dimms want to stack the court and push through their ideas via the bench, subverting Congress.
Do we need 15 judges?
No. We need the Justices of the Supreme Court to stand for reelection by popular vote when they have served 20 years on the Court, on the first general election after their anniversary date..
We need the members of the Supreme Court to swear for or affirm to a Code of Ethics - they are the only judges or justices to not have one.
“I, _________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
“I, _________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as _________ under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.”
Those are plenty good enough.
Lefties don’t use the Constitution, they use whatever is politically expedient at the time.
