Dems Reportedly Considering ‘Total War’ If GOP Fills Supreme Court Seat, Including Possible New States

Democrats are reportedly gearing up for “total war” and plan to implement radical changes to the legislative and judiciary branches of the government if the GOP-led Senate confirms a new Supreme Court (SCOTUS) justice before the Nov. 3 election then lose the majority after the election, Axios reported Sunday.

The Democrats’ options include ending the Senate filibuster rule — which requires a 60-vote supermajority to end debate and move to a vote instead of a simple majority — expanding the number of Supreme Court justices, granting statehood to the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and even undertaking a second impeachment effort against the President if he tries to fill the seat vacated by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

this is why you have so many who agree with the marxists, they love gimmedats and the ones imported from the 3rd world are taught to hate western civilization since the 50s this garbage has been pushed in media and schools. it’s a different type of immigrant/illegal right now, and that’s why the left loves open borders because they know once they get here it’s non stop handouts and anti american crap = VOTING DEM

And those facts seem to escape the dems.

They think they can control how the war is run just like they think they can control everything else.

I think you and I see eye to eye.

The left doesn't appreciate the response they'll trigger if they try this crap.

If and when the SHTF, I want a terrible price to be extracted from the hide of the Left. Mere victory is insufficient.

Thanks for pointing this out to me.

The problem for Congress is that they only have jurisdiction over this land while it is the seat of government. As the seat of government, it cannot become a state.

If Congress were to form a new district elsewhere as the seat of government, it would immediately cease to have jurisdiction over the former district seat of government, and would have to work with the states involved to form a new state.

Virginia, today, may go along with it, but it's not totally in Congress' power to do it, although it might totally be in Democrats' power to do it, assuming they can find other Democrat-controlled land to become the new seat of government.

If they do that, though, then that will mean the departments of government will have to move to the new district, which I doubt will happen.

Yes. I was thinking what Total War means to a CNN announcer. I bet it is different than what I consider total war.
