I feel the opposite is indicated. State elections are a lot harder to steal than national ones. I feel these moves are to place judges, which cannot be voted out, so that their America-destroying legacy will live on.... past the probable bloodbath in 2014.
On that, you are correct. Also don’t forget when some Republicans considered doing the same thing to get President Bush’s judicial nominations confirmed, John mc Cain, Lindsey Graham, etal, sabotaged the effort.
Is this true, or am I completely delirious: I know they (at least the GOP) wouldn’t do it, but if Congress can enlarge the courts, they can also shrink or eliminate them. They can then make new courts and pack those.
