Don't think this wasn't planned from the beginning of last year. It is the perfect crime, almost.
Ever since rumors of Breyer's retirement announcement, leftists have been licking their chops to cheat on the highest court of the land. And Breyer is in on it.
Consider that the Dems began the confirmation process in haste while Breyer was still seated. Jackson was ultimately confirmed by the slimmest of margins, and Biden then SIGNED HER SUPREME COURT COMMISSION. It is not beyong possibility that she may be allowed to participate in voting in this case.
A 5-5 tie would result in the lower appellate court decision holding sway. At the very least, Roe would remain intact.
Prove me wrong - please!
You know - I kinda like that acronym -
BAFTB!
Sounds to me like it was a 5-4 ruling, and it also seems to me that is what I remember the count to be, back when it was first leaked and reported on.
Not every random thought is worth posting.
The second way is to kill off a conservative and they have a pre approved justice ready.
I do not think it would be legal.
However, I see nothing stopping the Democrats from trying it on for size. Then if they think they get away with it.
Bingo 10 Supreme kangaroo Court justices
Do you get off talking absolute nonsense?
You keep getting even more crazy by the minute.
How safe do you think the three liberal justices will be if you far left crazies “kill off” conservative Justices?
Right.
Kamala will vote and break tie/sarc
You talking’ to me?
Federal law limits the number of Supreme Court justices at 9. While Congress can change that via legislation, the President cannot change that merely by appointment additional justices.
What do you think, troll?
The final ruling will probably be 5-3-1. Roberts will not vote with the liberals, he will write his own opinion concurring in part and dissenting in part.
Or us.
What a weird comment.
This is nonsense — conspiracy theory at its finest. Congress would have needed to pass a law expanding the Supreme Court. The congress checks the judicial through the confirmation process and legislating the numbers of Supreme Court justices.
There is no way that there are 10 justices. The commission is signed, fine (probably because in his demented state they needed it signed as he would either forget or it telegraphs that there is plan for him not to be in office at the time of the seating), but please. There are not 10 justices. This makes us look like whack jobs.
Yes, they do.
The problem is... well, we know what the problem is:
1. Enemy wants it.
2. The enemy is prepared for it.
3. The enemy has countermeasures in place.
We’re behind the curve.
The writer is possibly crowing for a job in the media, where wild and crazy imaginings are a daily serving. I can see CNN and or MSNBC picking up this fairy tail and running it.
Since when? He's voted with them on numerous occasions now.
The court has nine members by statute. Jackson is not one of them.
Okay.
"The Supreme Court of the United States shall consist of a Chief Justice of the United States and eight associate justices, any six of whom shall constitute a quorum."
28 U.S.C. sec. 1
In other words, the size of the Supreme Court is set by federal law. You don't get your imagined "10" unless Congress changes this provision of the U.S. Code.
That "wrong" enough for you?
To be fair, with your post, you've really upped the ante in terms of really, really silly contributions to Free Republic. And just when I thought this clown car couldn't get any worse. Congrats.
