Of course our far-left media refuses to call out these liberal tyrants.

[JudgemAll]

Hmm.. wouldn’t the court sign this out as unconstitutional?

I am sorry but this would require a constitutional amendment.

Of course it seems this threat is more than just legislative but of mob justice

[apillar]

I wonder if democrats realize that the Supreme Court could simply strike down any such expansion as Unconstitutional. (and before anybody says there is nothing in the constitution that says the democrats can’t, remember that has stopped the Supreme Court from “finding” rights to abortion and gay marriage, so why not?)

[Farcesensitive]

We need a Constitutional Amendment to set the number of judges on the Supreme Court in stone.

This just shows how close to civil war we are and how insane the left is.

They claim to believe in “democracy” but what they mean is rule by the “Democrat” party.

[wita]

Well if there was the death penalty for thought crime, this treasonous outburst would surely qualify.

Alas, there is no such law, so...

The unveiled threats of the party of the progressives are at least on the table. My question is when Trump wins, we the people have about four years remaining before the threats become reality. Then what?

[TMN78247]

Personally, I’d like to see the POTUS pack the SCOTUS, IF he could, with FIVE more just like the former Justice Scalia.

That would END the continuing foolishness by the 4 LIBs on the High Court for a generation.

Otoh, the LEFTIST Morons of the US Senate have a quite different idea of JUSTICE & jurisprudence. = In their world the ONLY “truth” is their vision of a SOCIALIST (Some would say MARXIST) society to replace our current Constitution & free Republic.

Yours, TMN78247

[fwdude]

What utter hypocrisy from the demonic left.

[nathanbedford]

Democrats attempted to pack the Supreme Court.

They gave us a new verb, "Borking."

They attempted an "electronic lynching."

They tried to do away with the presumption of innocence.

These are only a few examples that come immediately to mind of the mischief committed by Democrats directed at the Supreme Court. But Democrat atrocities have not been directed only at the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court and inferior courts have done mischief against the rule of law and against the very Constitution itself.

The Supreme Court for years has been a place where Democrats are bringing guns to a knife fight because the Republican appointees have either gone over to the dark side or, at best, they hold to their oaths and lay the facts down against the Constitution while Democrat appointees work backward to adjust the Constitution to accommodate a leftist political goal. A 5-4 majority means only that the Democrats need to pick off one originalist because they always have there four justices. An original justice plays by the rules while the four leftists are simply rigged.

Along the southern border, Democrat judges have been waging political war against the constitutionally authorized policies of the chief executive. In places like Ferguson and Baltimore, Democrat judges and Democrat prosecutors have perverted their office for political purposes and, worse, to demagogue race.

Leftist pressure groups, justifying themselves with race demagoguery or environmental alarmism, have reduced the federal court system to an arena of law warfare or, another new word given to us by the atrocities of the left, "lawfare."

When the rule of law breaks down no civil society can endure. No democratic republic can endure. No economy can prosper.

[GoldenPup]

Democrats threaten Supreme Court.

Democrats are amusing themselves by “abusing” themselves.

[ThunderSleeps]

Pure criminal gangster tactics. Nice court you got there, be a shame if someone packed it - full of presumably less talented and more political judges.

[Lockbox]

This attack on the federal judiciary threatens the appearance of judicial independence. If this separate branch of government continues, the citizens of the country will not recognize judges’ rulings nor any written laws by Congress.

[yuleeyahoo]

Why are Democrats so obsessed with packing?

[a fool in paradise]

Trump should propose adding 4 more justices to the current court just to get the Left on record opposing such a notion.

[Redleg Duke]

You want to see what will happen if the Electoral College was eliminated?

We would be left with only two choices, submission and slavery, or a shooting war.

[unread]

"a shocking threat to judicial independence not seen since the 1930s."

A threat to "Judicial independence" my butt..!
Its an, in your face, threat to the Constitution and the American people.! The commies are embolden by the invasion from the south and each and every day we inch closer to all out civil war..

What..? Is there some kind of law that says a stinking lawyer (politician) can't commit treason..???

[RandallFlagg]

This has to do with the New York Rifle and Pistol Association’s case.

They know that they don’t have an argument, and are reduced to using desperate threats.

If one is only allowed to transport their firearm from their homes and to the range, and this somehow isn’t a violation of a constitutional right...

THEN.

That would also mean that one only has free speech when travelling from their homes to a range.

Only has freedom of religion.
Only is secure from deprivation of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.
Only protected from cruel and unusual punishments.

One would have their civil rights safe ONLY in their homes, and while travelling to or from a gun range.

It’s an absurd argument that the tyrants know they’ll lose.

[Wonder Warthog]

One wonders whether the poll implies the court is influenced by LEFTIST politics or RIGHTIST politics. I would bet the former.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Real Americans who don’t hate America are going to have to “cowboy up” and stand up to the Socialist Democrats in 2020. Put on your big boy/girl pants and throw the ‘RATs out. They are the greatest threat to a free America.

[Maris Crane]

We put up with their crap, leftist rulings for years.

It’s time for a return to SANITY.

Let them TRY TO GET A CHANGE IN THE SUPREME COURT.

I am a docile acceptor of those who manage to get in power, BUT NOT THIS TIME.

They will see opposition that they never thought existed.

[New Jersey Realist]

"Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Supreme Court of the United States shall hereafter consist of the Chief Justice of the United States and eight associate justices, any six of whom shall constitute a quorum; and for the purposes of this act there shall be appointed an additional associate justice of said court." — Judiciary Act of 1869 § 1 President Roosevelt wrote a plan that would allow him to appoint one new justice for each current justice over the age of 70.5 years old, up to a maximum of six additional justices, which would expand the size of the Supreme Court from nine to fifteen. Congress understood the President's idea was unconstitutional, so they refused to pass the legislation. Eventually, the old members of the Supreme Court began retiring and passing away, so Roosevelt was able to appoint eight replacements without adding to the size of the Court.
