The communists Democrats want America to become another Cuba or China. They want total power and riches in their pockets. No doubt.

Her death is going to be the Democrat’s October surprise before 2020.

13 Liberals, One Conservative, and one erratic swinger.

One erratic, blackmailed swinger.

Just think, though. How would they decide who was conservative and who was liberal? Through self-declaration? Through an ABA panel? By on-line voting on a reality show?

Thanks fieldmarshaldj. It's not really news, because they've been doing it for a long, long while now.

Today’s Dems are much more determined and aggressive:

“Democratic candidates are increasingly advocating “court packing,” that is, upping the number of Supreme Court justices to balance the bench — or ensure a liberal majority”

Only this time with an all-subversive party, they’re going all in to seize complete control of the government, judiciary, et al.

So.... they would be ok with more seats on SCOTUS when President Trump wins reelection and gets to put more conservative justices on the bench?

That is why we have to stop them by voting, not posting here, then staying home and not voting when the time comes, and whine.

What stopped FDR from doing it? He tried but it was stopped. Who stopped it and how?

Senate Judiciary Chair Henry Ashurst (Dem-AZ) blocked it from a Senate vote.

It’s much safer if she dies. (quickly.)
That also gets rid of one more solid democrat vote. (Every little bit helps.)

When the Supreme Court becomes a political tool, filled with politically motivated justices, with 15 or more judges, THEN...

It becomes imperative to limit the terms for those justices, to perhaps 4 or 6 years. Better yet, they should then become elected offices, prone to the judgments of the people.

No more political games with the justice system. If politics is the name of the game, then, the people have the right to elect their politicized judges. Biggest problem to overcome then is, the politicized justice system becomes irrelevant and worthless and we’ll be left with 3 branches full of politicians, all deciding cases, before and after the issues and cases come before the people. Case outcomes will be determined via the politics of the day.
