The Left Targets Supreme Court With ‘Packing’ Threat, ‘Shortlist’ of Activist Nominees
The Daily Signal ^ | October 16, 2019 | Fred Lucas

Perhaps encouraged by Democratic senators in August warning the Supreme Court to “heal” itself or face restructuring, one progressive group has doubled down on advocating court-packing, while another liberal group this week released a “Supreme Court shortlist” of 32 prospective judicial nominees for a future Democratic president, filled mostly with activists but only a few judges.

It would appear that the left is increasingly focused on the Supreme Court, and many of the groups expressed annoyance that the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates—one of whom could be in a position to fill the next high court vacancy—have had little to say on the topic.

Progressive groups Take Back the Court, Demand Justice, the Committee for a Fair Judiciary, the American Constitution Society, Women’s March, and Indivisible recently called on the news media to ask the 2020 presidential candidates about the Supreme Court.

Maybe they’re afraid because of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

I want her to die of cancer yesterday.

We NEED to fill that seat.

Yeah that’s awful I know.

Almost as awful as the genocide she is all for against the unborn.

The bedwetters are dreaming. To do this they have to beat DJT; and that ain’t happening.

They’ll just need to sleep with diapers on.

WE can pack the court too. After the 2020 election, we should call a truce and amend the Constitution.

<>“Expanding the court is the only way to restore credibility to the court,” Aaron Belkin, director of Take Back the Court, told The Daily Signal. “What Mitch McConnell did was very, very damaging to democracy.” <>

IOW, Bammy’s assassination of Scalia backfired.

Tough. Eat it.

Donald Trump should offer up some nominations TO pack the court and watch the Democrats go on record against the notion.

Hang them all with their own policies.

Kinda funny. Supremes get at most 50 cases a year. The appellate courts her vast majority and trump is doing great getting those changed. Liberals are just dumb.

They should not worry about having to "pack" the SCOTUS... The Trump binge of returning Americans to the court appears to have been stopped permanently...

The judicial nominee spigot seems to have been successfully turned off by Graham et al...
