Amy Barrette’s process is as straightforward as they get.

Barrett joining the court makes it 4.5 to 4.5.
Roberts and Gorsuch are not reliable.

Election bull. They will do it if they win. Democrats are corrupt scum.

Calls for Democrats to remake the judiciary are ramping up as Republicans appear poised to put Amy Coney Barrett, a sixth conservative justice, on the bench.

There are 5 others? Who knew?

“...Democrats will have every right to consider Barrett illegitimate ...”

I would like for someone to give me a reasonable explanation of their thinking in this regard.

If Republicans proceed as expected, Democrats will have every right to consider Barrett
illegitimate and pursue structural reform to restore ideological balance to the court,”
said Brian Fallon, the executive director of the progressive group Demand Justice.

Total bull stuff!

“Looks like court packing is not popular...”

I read no opposition. This is disinformation campaign.

“Ideological balance” to the Left means they control everything and balance their boots on our necks.

If they do win the White House and take over the Senate (and keep the House) they will probably go all-out: they always overreach. Under normal conditions that would mean big losses for them in 2022 but they will have further perfected methods of voter fraud, plus will have enfranchised millions of illegal aliens, so they could survive a backlash.

My opinion is the Republicans did Merrick Garland a favor. since they had the majority they could (hopefully) have put him through a tough confirmation hearing and then voted him down. I assume that would be more humiliating than not getting a hearing at all, which made him a martyr.

Turban Durbin will be the first in line for packing the court.
Liar.

I never heard of Brian Fallon before but he sounds like a colossal a**hole.

“supporters of court reforms”

“Reforms”, another word that the Left has attempted to mutilate. A change for the worse is not a “reform”. A better word for that would be “deform”.

If the Democrats win and get to change the rules,,,does this mean that when the Republicans win,, do they get to change the rules? I am thinking of the rule that a President can only serve two terms...I am wondering if they need to be considering this.

They’ve found out that other than their rabid base, this isn’t polling well with independent voters, so they’re talking it down, but you can bet if they get in a position to make it happen, it will.
