House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) urged Democrats on Saturday to “immediately” mobilize to “expand” the Supreme Court if Republicans succeed in confirming a replacement for the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
“If Sen. McConnell and [the] Senate GOP were to force through a nominee during the lame-duck session—before a new Senate and president can take office—then the incoming Senate should immediately move to expand the Supreme Court,” the New York lawmaker wrote on social media.
Nadler added in a follow-up message that “filling the SCOTUS vacancy during a lame-duck session, after the American people have voted for new leadership, is undemocratic and a clear violation of the public trust in elected officials.”

They were planning to do this already.
Cram it until it’s full of 350 million judges. Stupid Dems.
Go ahead Nadler. Trump will be glad to fill those new
seats.
Nadler’s brain is a myth.
What happens to Nadlers argument if Trump and Republicans are reelected?
Be funny if Trump, in his second term, expands the Supreme Court and fills the slots with conservative judges.
4D chess master upends the Leftist tards still trying to master Checkers.....
Sponge Jer High Pants weighs in. He’s already wasted too much of our O2.
Here is an idea... Help the Democrats authorize an expansion of the Supreme Court from 9 to 12 or 15 people, then do so with the Republican Senate and Republican president. (I don’t see value in expansion, the court won’t here more cases, but if it is to be expanded, do it while there is a Republican president and a Republican senate.)
You mean just like he knew already who won the impeachment trial which Trump won comfortably?
Fat Nadler has been trying to take down Trump from since way back in New York for decades and had still hasn't laid glove on Trump.
Didn’t the SCOTUS already decide that the Court cannot be expanded? IIRC, FDR tried it and got shot down.
The one and only reason why we have to endure this kind of terrorism and idiocy is because they hold the house, lets put them in the basement, TALK BACK THE HOUSE and they will be little annoyances, background chatter as we move forward
The Democrats are such idiots, aren’t they? Don’t they realize that their own words can be used against them and that they’re giving the GOP every excuse to do the same thing to them?
FDR’s plan failed when members of his own party chose not to move the legislation through Congress.
You do raise an interesting possibility, however. What would happen if the Supreme Court moved to protect itself and declared such an expansion scheme unconstitutional?
Ram Trumps nominee thru the Senate before the election with
extreme prejudice.
Well that would have been absurd that your fear of a man with no office scares you more than a woman who would have continued to shoot down any state’s attempt at slowing down or stopping abortion.
I think we will win in November.
If I knew, I’d be God. I’m not.
Replacing rbg before the election is a great thing.
Everyone so terrified of one man who throws money at everything.
How many of us Choose not to put money to elections?
10s of millions?
How many don’t even donate here?
We jsut talk. That sick animal is willing to use his money for his beliefs, no matter how horrible they are.
If everyone who was too cheap to donate 10 bucks a month, would donate that much, it would likely be close to a billion a month towards our politicians of choice.
“There is NO WAY Biden wins this election NO WAY!!”
Biden will lose the election when it comes to legitimate votes. However ... they know they didn’t cheat well enough last time and they’ve upped their game when it comes to wickedness. Biden may not win, but he and/or Harris most likely will be in the White House.
“... filling the SCOTUS vacancy during a lame-duck session, after the American people have voted for new leadership...”
Getting ahead of yourself, dude.
The Rats heads are literally exploding ! WINNING !
The Democrats did this under their founder Jackson in the 1830’s.
That led to the Taney Supreme Court, the Dred Scott decision and the civil war.
Does history repeat itself?
“There is NO WAY Biden wins this election NO WAY!!”
