Well, that at least is true.
This smacks of a “Losers Limp”. You just can’t get your moronic points across your way, so you change the rules. This is somethings kids do on the playground.
expand = “pack”!
Rather than pack the court with enough yes-men to get what he wants, why not just dissolve the Supreme Court and declare himself the sole judge?
Then replace the Legislative branch as well!
Many of us saw this coming, especially if Dems use reconciliation to pass healthcare, they cannot take the chance it will be shot down by the SCOTUS.
Packing the court makes sense, especially if they believe Republicans will only have a slim majority in both houses after November......giving Obama a liberal court for the remainder of his first term.
Sounds like a “progressive.”
“for the remainder of his first term”
should be
“for the remainder of his term.”
The court packing scheme didn't work out well for FDR.
The comments on FR are moderate compared to the comments at Philly.com
Sounds like an unrepentant facist to me.
I have any number of rude suggestions for him, should I ever have the occasion to be able to deliver them in person.
If Stan Isaacs, BO’s balloon floating idjit, thinks socialized health care is a fight, wait until this bullcrap hits the fan.
This is just more evidence BO’s proposals cannot pass constitutional muster.
I’m serious, let’s chip in and send the author of this article to SeaWorld. Orca show anyone?
FDR threatened to pack the Supreme Court with additional Liberal/Progressive Judges, because the Supreme Court had threatened to overturn “Social Security” as UnConstitutional.
The Supreme Court Caved to FDR, and eventually ruled that Social Security was Constitutional.
Because it worked so well when FDR tried it...
Obama would surely support this idea. To be fair, we need a representative of every conceivable minority on the court. We need an authentic black (Justice Thomas doesn’t make the grade), a Mulsim, a gay male, a Lesbian female (we may already have that), a he-she, a she-he, a native American (standard grade), a native American (Aleut grade), an illegal immigrant, a Wiccan, a Hollywood celebrity, a Down’s Syndrome person (no wait, they all need to be terminated), and so on ad nauseum. Absolutely no more white males can be tolerated. </sarc>
Well, if you read the article you would know the author's reasoning why it failed for FDR.
But why read the article when you can just react to a headline?
