Shouldn't packing the Supreme Court be harder than impeaching a Supreme Court Justice or at least be the same, that you will need 2/3rd Senate Approval???!!

The Democrats' true colors are showing through, for those who couldn't seem them clearly already. Former US Attorney General Eric Holder joined other Democrats on Saturday in calling on Joe Biden and Senate Democrats to pack the Supreme Court if they retake power in November. Holder said the conservative majority on the Supreme Court would be "illegitimate" if President Trump fullfills his Constitutional obligation to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
"You would have a conservative majority on the court, an illegitimate conservative majority on the court, ruling on these matters that will affect the nation, you know, for generations to come," Holder lamented to MSNBC's Al Sharpton.
After lamenting about the nomination of Merrick Garland, who Obama futilely put forth during an election year when his party was out of power in the Senate, Holder said Democrats must rewrite the Constitution in order to pack the Supreme Court with liberals.
"If in fact they are successful in placing a justice on the court, I think what Democrats have to do, assuming that Biden is president and there is a Senate majority for the Democrats, we need to think about court reform. And at a minimum, as part of that reform package, I think additional justices need to placed on the Supreme Court."
This has been the plan all along, even before Ginsburg's death. Democrats can't wait to end the filibuster and rip up the Constitution so they can force their left-wing agenda on the American people. Anyone who reveres the country and the Constitution cannot let these people gain power.
EEven Ruth Bader Ginsburg opposed the idea of packing the Supreme Court.
A Democrat senate. Do they pack the court after they admit DC and Puerto Rico as states so they can add another 4 Dem senators as well as new SC Dem judges or before? Decisions, decisions.
“But current dems have no such honor nor respect for the spirit of the Constitution. It’s all about power.”
Say it again.
Holder ran a gun running operation from Mexico.
Holder was the #2 guy under Janet Reno on the Waco massacre.
He has no room to talk about anyone.
So says the man who lied to Congress about Operation Fast and Furious.
Holder is following the example of the Leftists in charge in Poland before they were ousted in a landslide election of the current government.
The Left in Poland knew they were going to lose the election. In the 11th hour of their administration they added new Supreme Court Justice seats and filled them with their choices. They made other changes to the operations of the court to try to insure their political interests would be protected.
The new Conservative government immediately reversed those decisions and the whole EU apparatus suddenly went insane with their version of TDS, call it PDS, Poland Derangement Sydrome. The EU, ran as it is by the Left, had no problem with the supreme court packing achieved by the departing Leftist departing government in Poland. Their only complaint was against the new Conservative government reversing those actions.
You see, always with the Left, when they are losing or when they lose, they seek to change the rules or standards, and they blame their losses on the old rules, claiming “democracy” (not their power seeking) was not served by the old rules.
The real problem I see here is ...they are already calling the court “illegitimate.”
Pay very close attention to those words! THEY HAVE VERY REAL MEANING GOING FORWARD. It is like saying the law, the court, the judges have no meaning. They are saying that the court is no longer relevant to the governing or the balance of the nation.
What he just said is dangerous and treasonous.
But you are making up additional constitutional requirements. You don’t get to change the rules unilaterally.
I would support a Constitutional amendment for some of what you claim are the rules, but until that happens, the power to determine who is a natural-born citizen lies with Congress under their authority to determine the rules for naturalization.
Your pompous assertions are not based in any fact. Repeating your claims over and over will not make them true, nor gain you any converts that can actually read.
And you still have not explained how you are going to justify depriving the children of US citizens serving overseas of their eligibility to be President. Your claims are not supported by fact, and your adherence to your dogma is irrational.
Lately, Biden has doll eyes too, and they used to be blue!
Get Biden on record if he would support 4 additional Supreme Court justices. If yes, then when Trump is re-elected with a Senate majority the Republicans should proceed and add 4 seats, giving a 10-3 conservative majority for decades.

If you are truly honest with yourself, Eric, you will see the hate that motivates you. You would have broken just about ANY law to protect Obama, but criticize Barr for being partisan. The very basic truth is that you and your ideological and hate-driven fellow travelers have envisioned a total transformation of America - to a nation in which successful whites are punished and have their money and possessions requisitioned for ‘redistribution’. You know that can't happen until you and all who think like you have absolute power, and you've been counting on that.
There are tons of Caucasians who believe in equity and who want to erase racial boundaries. Tons. In part, that is the product of generations of black leaders who pushed for an end to race/color-associated decisions in society. You, however, don't support ‘colorblindness’. You want ‘revenge’. Admit it Eric. Be honest with yourself - but remember that sin and hate are never acceptable or constructive - no matter what direction the racial arrow is pointing.
You lament the possibility that the SC will become more conservative NOT because you fear for the course of the nation, but because you sense that it could derail what you and others, driven by hatred, have envisioned as an inevitable and dramatic restructuring of the US. All that Trump is doing is trying to return some sanity to the government, and to ensure that government does what it does for the benefit of ALL - not just those who are on the protected side of political correctness.
Right and wrong ARE colorblind. When you accept that (if ever during this Earthly lifetime), you will see your actions as they are - self-serving and motivated by resentment, vengeance, and hatred.
Nice rant. +1
No, I am not.
Natural born citizen has always meant born here of citizen parents.
It’s only in recent years that the meaning has been muddied.
Thomas Paine wrote just a few years after the Constitution was ratified that the US could never have a “half-foreigner” for President because of the natural born citizen requirement, in contrast to the German Kings of Britain.
They’ll just have the other judges Scalia’d. What better way to pack a court than to eliminate the opposition?
Curious, why to the rats think they are going to win big in Nov? I think we are going to win big not the rats.
He understands but his statement is for the dumb class out there that hears something and then believes it.
But, but, the latest Biden "No Fear" commercial shows a Trump crowd then riots and says Trump is the cause of the divisiveness and is not doing anything to stop it. So all us deplorables must be doing this and supporting others who do it. Have I got that right??
(do I really need an "off sarcasm" tag here?)
“Holder has black eyes, like a doll’s eyes. No life, no soul, no spark in his eyes.”
Like a couple videos of Peter Strzok. In his still shots he looks relatively normal. Videos — just eeewww. You can see split-second images of Satan peering out.
Big “if”.
If they’re so cock sure that they’ll be back in power comes November, why don’t they just amend the Constitution, instead of asking judges to say it says what it does not say.
