Yea, let’s let Obama pick six more SC judges. That should really help the country.
Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
Show what power Congress has over the SCOTUS - ie created it, can impeach/remove justices for bad behavior (high crimes/misdemeanors), can regulate how many justices, controls funding/budget for SCOTUS, etc.
It’s embarrassing when so-called conservatives call for plays right out of the FDR playbook. Your idea was attempted once, for the same reason (to obtain outcomes unobtainable with the currently seated court) in 1937 by Roosevelt.
Elect enough real, fire-breathing, Tea Party conservatives to Congress and we could throw out ALL of the liberal Supreme Court deadwood.
Just take any ridiculous decision (Kelo v. New London, as an example) and cite that as an example of judicial misconduct and a gross misinterpretation of the Constitution. The Constitution says justices shall serve during times of “good behavior” so we don’t require a felony conviction to throw the bums out.
All we need is a Congress that truly represents us.
