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???!!
Which is nearly IMPOSSIBLE???!!!!

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.

The Dems are the party of all kinds of Packing, why would the Supreme Court be any different.
Dems: luggage, to get from riot to riot
fudge
SCOTUS
Repubs only have one kind: Heat
Look the Democratic Party has gone off the rails and is now full on psychotic leftist Marxist anarchist nut balls
My most famous saying is “more free speech”
Let these moron leftist idiot Democrats state all of these opinions far and wide ! and finally wake up their voters to how stupid they are to vote for these people
Unfortunately for us sensitive constitutional conservatives there is a good sizable 30% of the population that actually likes all of this craziness
The Dems owe China the Supreme Court.
And they promise to deliver!
Trump would need both houses of congress to pass a law.
Omg. These congressmen and women are leading the example of complete lunacy. No wonder democrats are acting like 2 year olds having tantrums. Their reps are encouraging it as if it’s the right thing to do.
It feels like they are All demon possessed
Can we pack with conservatives, especially 2nd amendment favoring gun owners?
They we planning to do it anyways.
Expect massive voter fraud the likes we haven’t ever seen before. Took me a while, but I’ve come to understand the whole covid scam was to push mail in votes because those are easy to fraud
yup, assuming that
and so would the democrats need both houses of congress
my point is their threat to do it is about as realistic as our threat to do it
and no one has tried it sonce fdr, and he failed, because people do not like politicians attempts to turn scotus into a puppet for one party
the dems cant get what they want through normal ways, so they threaten to pack the cpurts in their favor
and at the same time blast trump for using his legitimate presidential power to get what he wants put through in the normal legal existing ways
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???!!
Which is nearly IMPOSSIBLE???!!!!

moron!
Count on it being close through simple math...the people that voted Hillary last time will more than likely vote Biden...those voting for Trump will more than likely vote for Trump. The key is the indies/uncommitted/mushy middle that can’t make their mind up (which to me, is inconceivable, but that’s just me) yet. With the unrest, riots, etc., that favors Trump as 99.99% of the country do not like that, no matter who the President is. However, since it’s a vote state by state and winner gets all the EVs (in almost all cases) all it takes is one more vote than the other guy in each state. So, it will be close, but based on your anecdotal evidence (I’ve seen similar in my travels), notwithstanding fraud, Trump wins easily.
Pack it and do it. FDR did it and the consequences lasted generations
Oh look...another Kennedy looking to further destroy the country.
F**k you, you wannabe Spaulding Smails.
Trump has drawn them out into the open.
Excellent!
I would have slammed on my breaks, landed in a ditch upside down, broken and bruised, crawled out of the mangled wreckage, dragged my body with broken leg in tow...to get a picture of that school's football team name...hahaha.
Thanx for the encouraging post. Top post of the day i’d say.
How would they pack the court if no conservatives retire? I’m pretty sure they all have decided they can last another four years.
Expand the court to more justices (the law currently sets it at 9 although there is no constitutional upper limit) and simply appoint them and have the Senate confirm them. But the more I think about it, with consideration of the comments above, this might not be a good idea for Trump because it would be seen as a blatant attempt at a power grab.
They ARE demon possessed. Evil has hold of them.
