Breaking: House and Senate DEMOCRATS rolling out bill to ADD FOUR JUSTICES to The Supreme court
TG ^ | 4/14/2021 | Evan

Posted on 04/14/2021 5:18:16 PM PDT by wrrock

DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS Intend To Unveil a Bill to Expand The Number of Supreme Court Justices on Thursday, according to three legislative sources familiar with the bill.

The bill would increase the number of justices on the Supreme Court from nine to thirteen.

Republicans currently hold 6 seats, while Democrats hold just 3 after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg and the confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

The bill is sponsored by House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler, Subcommittee chair Hank Johnson, and freshman Rep. Mondaire Jones.

In the Senate, the bill is being championed by Ed Markey of Massachusetts.

Unbelievable, the chutzpah on these Democrats. You know what? They’ll succeed, sadly.

Markey, Nadler, Johnson, and Jones. Add all of those IQ’s together and you’d be well shy of 100. They just keep pushing don’t they?

I don’t get it.

Biden said he was setting up a commission to study what changes if any should be made to federal courts, and the Supreme court in particular. It’s supposed to report back in 180 days.

But instead they are preemptively introducing court packing legislation???

Does the right hand know what the left hand is doing?

This is what a Party theoretically should do, when they hold multiple branches of the Government.
Republicans haven’t been doing this. They usually fail to seize the moment by the throat.

Because four is the minimum number they need to secure a safe majority on the Court...

This is to further assure their coup is secured.

We are watching the murder of the once-greatest Nation on Earth.

Why do they even need to? The SCOTUS is a left wing protectorate.

This wouldn’t even be an issue if it wasn’t for the ignorant Soros sucking troll Lin Wood and his “IZ NADA VOTINZ NO MOARH!” crowd.

The reality though is that this is showboating.

This has zero chance of passing the Senate.

It’s completely unnecessary. I see no evidence that the court is ruling against their f’d up subversive causes.

At least it would make Roberts completely irrelevant. There’s always a silver lining.
