What a tool.

Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement from the Supreme Court, and President Trump’s nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to replace him, is the doomsday scenario liberals feared when Senate Republicans thwarted the appointment of Merrick Garland in 2016: The GOP’s brazen act of democratic sabotage will almost certainly deliver the high court to the far right for a generation. In the years ahead, the court will probably further erode reproductive rights, gay rights and voting rights, ushering in the darkest era in American history since the post-Reconstruction period.
Sounds hysterical, right? After all, Democrats will get their chance at reversing the court’s majority when they get back in power, as early as 2021. Except court appointments don’t work like elections. The remaining conservatives on the court are young — Clarence Thomas is the oldest at 70 — and Trump is insistent on naming young justices. It is possible that a two-term Democratic president could serve from 2021 to 2029 without being able to replace a single Republican-appointed justice.
That grim reality is leading many on the left to contemplate radical ideas, including an idea considered and discarded 80 years ago: court-packing. The idea of court-packing — adding extra justices to the Supreme Court in order to change its ideological makeup — causes most Americans to blanch. But if done right, it would actually offer a crucial avenue for safeguarding American democracy.

We must embrace totalitarianism to “Save Democracy!”
1984 was written as a warning, not a Democratic Party Operations Manual.
The Dim’s have no leader, just a lot of hollering.
The tears and gnashing of teeth here are beautiful to behold.
It is safe to assume they are contemplating worse than court-packing. Completely unhinged they are.
No standing.
Democrats have “endangered democracy” by refusing to accept the result of a democratic election.
America is not a democracy
Your comment was almost my verbatim thought when I read the article.
AKA baby killing, fudge packing, and voter fraud.
If Trump gets to name 7-9 justices, that would be court packing. A few, 2-4 is normal ebb-and-flow. Nice, but normal.
Liberals desire the destruction of this nation.
Liberals grew up angry at their parents. They wanted to prove that their childish ways would work, but their ways don’t work.
Problem is, their parents ways do work.
So, liberals want to destroy their parent’s nation to prove their parent’s ways don’t work.
It is about a childish anger, and if you keep that in mind then everything a liberal does is predictable.
Do they mean replace the republic with democracy? Last time I checked this was NOT a democracy.
It didn’t get doneby FDR. It won’t get done with modern socialist democrats either.
“If Trump gets to name 7-9 justices, that would be court packing.”
No, that would be normal if it happens normally.
