As President Trump moves to nominate a candidate to fill the seat of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died Friday, there are a growing number of Democrats threatening to implement a radical strategy and pack the Supreme Court if they take control of the White House and the Senate.
“If he holds a vote in 2020, we pack the court in 2021,” Rep. Joe Kennedy III, D-Mass., tweeted on Saturday. “It’s that simple.”
“Mitch McConnell set the precedent. No Supreme Court vacancies filled in an election year. If he violates it, when Democrats control the Senate in the next Congress, we must abolish the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court,” Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., tweeted.
The idea of “packing” the court with extra justices -- attempted unsuccessfully by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1937 to force through parts of his New Deal that were ruled unconstitutional by the high court -- has bubbled away on the fringes of the party for years.

That is useful info.
Thanks!

Ok Joe, we have a definition for you and your parties actions:
“Sedition is a serious felony punishable by fines and up to 20 years in prison and it refers to the act of inciting revolt or violence against a lawful authority with the goal of destroying or overthrowing it. The following provides an overview of this particular crime against the government, with historical references.“

Or better yet. Have 2 Supreme Courts. Why have just one?
[ This is what is going to happen whether 2021 or 2025 or whenever the Dim’s win the the Presidency and Senate and abolish the filibuster...
Demographics is destiny and the GOP is on the losing end of the demographic race... ]
If the left wants to secede kommie-pornia.....
I say let them. It will be easier to deport all the illegals there.
As I’ve said before, if Democrats think it’s OK to pack the Court, Trump should do so tomorrow, with 1000 justices who will immediately rule further packing to be unconstitutional.
You have no idea how right you are. If I can interject a quick travel report: I live in Denver, and the past couple of days I’ve driven down through South Park, across the San Luis Valley in southern Colorado, through Durango and Cortez, and today across the Navajo reservation, to Flagstaff, down to Sedona (Arizona’s version of Boulder), and ended in Williams. And you know what?
In those over 700 miles I have not seen a single Biden-Harris sign. Not one. But what I have seen is more Trump-Pence signs and banners than I could possible count. All across the heavily Hispanic, historically Democrat stretch of southern and southwestern Colorado, Trump banners are like Burma Shave signs - one after another. Also everywhere are American flags, thin blue line flags, “Trump Train” banners, etc. I think Hispanic support for Trump is very strong.
I also noticed that in southwestern Colorado, at least, the “cult of the mask” was pretty weak. We walked into restaurants and stores without masks, and no one cared a bit, and we were far from the only ones. While some wore masks, I would say most customers of businesses and just people on the streets in general did not wear them. And they didn’t freak out if you got within six feet, either. It was, dare I say, like normal life.
Of course, I didn’t see any Trump signs in Sedona, but neither did I see any Biden ones. I did see a thin blue line flag, though.
Here’s the icing on the cake: Out in the middle of the Navajo Reservation, we passed a Navajo high school. Out front was a sign with the name of their sports teams on it. Anyone want to guess what it was?........THE REDSKINS!!! I was laughing so hard I almost drove off the road. I’m sure some pasty white liberal will be along shortly to tell them how their team name is “racist” and must be changed.
Oh, and when I drove through Buena Vista earlier in the trip, I passed a block where maybe a hundred Trump supporters were manning both sides of the street. waving Trump banners and American flags and waving to cars. Most of the cars were honking and waving back. It was awesome.
Nowhere in my travels would you have known that Biden-Harris even exist.
Not a bad choice.
I’m in a conserv area, and seen several Trump flags. NO signs anywhere, just those flags.
I saw WAY more hillary signs around here last time. Youtube vids are 90% anti biden. Facebook is mostly anti-biden. Twitter hands on left, but it’s struggling.
None of this means it’s a sure thing in any way. This election will likely be very close.
We’ll need a real fighter who knows the ropes and will stand up, do right and who DJT will be proud of.
Thanks for sharing that. I live in Durango and see the same things in the Four corners area.
I love the Redskins story and will use it to irritate a Liberal.
What makes them so sure they’ll have a chance to do so, in 2021????
Only white people like liberty? Whatever
Prediction - president Trump does better in every minority group comparted to 2016.
Overall increases vote total to 51.7%
That sounds like a great road trip. Thanks for sharing.
We drove through a part of SW Houston, that is/has been predominantly lib (to get to a memorial service)....and, we did not see ONE Biden sign.
But....we DID see a YUGE Trump sign, on one of the corner houses, on full display.
Hubby said, They’re brave!
I hope this is a ground swell majority like none other, before.
Don’t the RATs have to have power to do this? Do they know they don’t have power?
I wish I had seen it in time to take a picture, but I was on the highway (traveling at the posted speed limit, of course). I also passed another high school a little later. Their team was “The Warriors”, with the logo a silhouette of an Indian brave with a feather in his hair. But it’s impossible to top “The Redskins.”
I wonder if the Navajos realize how racist they are?
“I hope this is a ground swell majority like none other, before”.
I really believe it is a huge ground swell. I’ve never seen such support and it’s all big: The Walk Away movement, rallies, boat convoys, car convoys, golf cart convoys, etc.
He’ll no! Horrible idea to let the American people decide on things. I used to think this was just dandy until I moved to Florida where the legislators are so lazy that they decide nothing and leave it up to the voters.
Want a tax increase on your property? Just say it’s for school security for 250 dollars per property. Approved!
Want to add a penny to sales tax? Just say it’s for the county hospital. Approved!
You want felons to vote? Just say how unfair it is to have a lifetime ban. Approved!
You want medical marijuana? Just say how unfair it is for grandma to be in so much pain with cancer. Approved!
And those are the ones off the top of my head. Do not trust the electorate ever!!!!!
Again, thanks for sharing.
1936 was a very different time!
