Senate Judiciary Committee member Sen. Chris Coons said on Sunday that the Senate moving to confirm President Trump's Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett "constitutes court-packing," and called the nominee's views "disqualifying."

Coons, D-Del., made the comments during an interview with "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace. Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., also spoke with Wallace Sunday.

"I'm going to be laying out the ways in which Judge Barrett's views ... are not just extreme, they're disqualifying," Coons said of Democrats' strategy for Barrett's hearings. "It constitutes court-packing."

Court-packing's traditional definition is expanding the Supreme Court by law and then confirming justices to those seats, not what Republicans are doing, which is filling a naturally occuring vacancy. Sasse shot back that Coons' definition of court-packing was "obviously" incorrect and accused the Democrat of using "Orwellian" language.

The dem's/leftists strange fascination with using Orwell's "NewSpeak" while talking to the American voter.

Packing vs. Stacking. I like that. Course the commies are too dumb to know the difference and that is the problem I was attempting to highlight. Not only are they morally and culturally bankrupt they are dumb as a fence post at the same time.

Once in a century election - we need to survive this challenge and then try to get things back on track. Good comment.
