This "sense of the house" amounts to an opinion and is not binding. It does nothing. They should be drafting articles of impeachment. That would actually accomplish something.

This resolution amount to a Declaration of Impotence.

Drafting Articles of Impeachment and even Impeaching one or more Justices would accomplish nothing, because you need 67 Senators to convict and that won't happen.

Instead, the House should pass a bill increasing the number of SCOTUS Justices to fifteen justices -- effective seven days after the bill becomes Law. Then the Senate needs to use the "nucular" option to ram the bill thorugh and subsequently confirm six new Scalias.

We have to having a conciousness raising exercise. This is what the leftists have done to get us where we are. A resolution like this can at least get some of these phonies on the voting record.

Yeah and don't back down like the Frankfurter court did under FDR, and kow-tow under the threat of the court packing to go along with the New deal agenda, the senate should ram rod it through, one way, or another.....
