President Trump, time to play hardball. Announce that this is such a good idea that you are immediately expanding the Supreme Court to 25 members. Let the media howl and try to claim that you can't do that when it is EXACTLY what they want to do.

They’ve moved past threats. They’re actually destroying property. It’s only the beginning.

No, you won’t, Demonrats. You won’t have a President in the White House in 2021. Try again in 4 years, suckas.

They would pack the court anyway, if they won.

Congress has to increase the number of justices, and the Democrat House is not going to do that while Trump is in office.

“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.”

What's this little sniveling, slobbering ginger turd going on about "we" ? He just lost a Senate run and he's out on his ass come January 3rd, 2021. You don't have a vote next year, dumbass.

They had already pretty much pledged to do this long ago because it was unacceptable that the Senate has been confirming the nominees of President Trump.

So they are “threatening” to do something they had already pledged to do, regardless of this current vacancy.

Time to play hardball. These are not good people. It would be nice to have the bipartisan rappart that may have existed at one time on this, but the Left put that in the rear-view window long ago. there is no longer any goodwill on the Dem side - and it is time we realized that and started acting like it.

Dems threaten your pack the Supreme Court?

That’s new?

They still think threatening Trump is a plan?

Packing the court could backfire in the long run, because it dilutes the power of each vote. We won’t have any more 5-4 decisions; they will have to be 6-5 or 7-6.

I think it’s a great idea. A court with this kind of power should have 100m members (i.e. active voters). Ultimately, serious issues that are politically-sensitive should be decided by referendum (i.e. voters). For one thing, we’d immediately see the reinstatement of the death penalty for murder in cases where minors are above the age of 12.

If he doesn’t hold a vote in 2020, they’ll pack the Supreme Court ANYWAY.

If they take control of the White House?

When?!

They’ve probably blown their chances through 2028.

Oh, gee.

Leftists threaten violence or at best, some kind of anti-constitutional or radical solution if they don't get their way.

Court packing did not work out well for FDR, it will not work well for Dem's.

“.......While it was never voted on in Congress, the Supreme Court justices went public in their opposition to it. And a majority of the public never supported the bill, either, says Barbara A. Perry, director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center.

“Congress and the people viewed FDR’s ill-considered proposal as an undemocratic power grab,” she says. “The chief justice (Charles Evans Hughes) testified before Congress that the Court was up to date in its work, countering Roosevelt’s stated purpose that the old justices needed help with their caseload.......”

Trump will get 4 more years, he could very easily pack the courts.

And gues how the democrats would be with that.

They dont want him to use his lawful power to just replace a justice.

The dems threaten to pack the court because a republican president wants to fill a vacancy. This is what 2020 democrats are.
