Democrats must consider court-packing when they regain power. It’s the only way to save democracy.

After the Revolutionary War, they got rid of the lobster back Tories in this country. Just saying maybe some old ways are solid.

If Pres. Trump wants to preserve his conservative Supreme Court for many generations then he needs to lead the states to repeal the ill-conceived 17th Amendment.

Otherwise, regardless if RvW is eventually overturned, over time abortion is going to be legalized again as a consequence of loose cannon 17th imo.

President Donald Trump should cite this article, and create a grand total of 51 SCOTUS justices.... and he should then submit 42 new SCOTUS candidates.

Sauce for the goose.

In order to save democracy, they must turn it into a communist banana republic! Onward to victory, comrades!

We must embrace totalitarianism to “Save Democracy!”


Yup. Funny how Democrats seem to believe that “democracy” requires One Party rule (theirs).

Court packing? Haven’t the Dems already done that if their talking about liberal activist judges?

This is irresponsible trolling on the part of the post.

When things don’t go the way the progressives want they ignore laws or demand the government be restructured to suit their whims.

That’s not how law or government works - especially in a republic, let alone a democracy!

The Democrats are trying to steal power from the people!

almost certainly deliver the high court to the far right for a generation

This is a false premise...UNLESS everyone who states it believes: 1) Thomas will not retire in the next year before the year (Merrick Garland rule) Trump runs for reelection and Trump will win re-election and Thomas will retire in the first 3 years of Trump's 2nd term and the Dems never win back the senate or the WH in 8 years.

By court packing the idea is the Dems would expand the number of Justices on the USSC to a number greater than 9. There is no law covering the number of Justices which can be seated.

The Dim’s have no leader, just a lot of hollering.

That is the biggest dilemma for the DEmwits. The only thing that they have that resembles direction is opposition to absolutely anything that President Trump does. This is getting tiring to anyone who has any sense at all. Opposing everything is not a winning strategy in an election, especially when over 90% of Republicans now support the president along with approximately 60% of independents. The Demwits and the media have created an echo chamber for themselves that is tiresome for everyone else and is actually beginning to cause some of their own to become disenchanted.

If they really want to save Democracy, they could start by backing policies that people outside the coastal liberal enclaves would vote for.

Sure, let’s start today to pack the court. Say 10 more and Trump gets to appoint!
