TG ^ | 4/14/2021 | Evan

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.

The democrats have only ONE goal in mind for stacking the Supreme Court: Cancel the 2nd amendment.

If this happens the Second Amendment will be on life support.

So I’ve given this some thought and I’m fine with it. This government has to collapse before we can rebuild it.

And I guess the democrats proposing this are smarter than Ruth Bader Ginsburg - and Joe, in his lucid days - were.

ED MALARKEY heads it up and that’s all they do: malarkey, malarkey and with some nonsense thrown in. I don’t think Roberts is phased in the slightest. He’s got more people to bully.

A Communist Purge Is Underway & Nothing Is Being Done About It!


Well, we knew that PDJT was our only stop to communism.

The DS RINOs are perfectly fine, and complicit, with this.

So, I am NOT surprised that this is happening.

Are you??

wasn’t he the one that said some island would tip over if?

I'd say exactly what he said, now applying the model to CONUS.

Republicans are Controlled Opposition. Their job is to do nothing, or as little as possible, when they are ‘in power’.

"I sincerely hope they do it."

Tell us your thinking on this. It is hard to see any upside. It would fully politicize the SC and assure that anything done by a Marxist maximum leader would be deemed legal.

It’s awful, but then they’re Democrats.

If I were going to add seats I’d add 6, not 4.

I appreciate the sarcasm..

It begets th question of why just four? That would make it 7-6. Why not six and make it 9-6.

Didn’t Roberts say that there are no Republican or Democrat justices in response to something Trump had said a few years ago?
