They must have tested the word “packing”. Of course “packing” appeals to the gay crowd too.
Senate Judiciary member Sen. Chris Coons said that Pres Trump’s USSC nominee Amy Coney Barrett “constitutes court-packing....
One of the dumbest statements ever spoken by a US Senator.
REALITY CHECK: The Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937, frequently called the “court-packing plan,”
was proposed by then-Pres FDR to add more justices to the USSC .
FDR wanted to coerce favorable rulings regarding New Deal legislation that the USSC had ruled unconstitutional.
The central provision of the FDR bill would have granted the president power to appoint an additional justice to the USSC,
to a maximum of six, for every member of the court over the age of 70 years and 6 months.
BACKSTORY In the Judiciary Act of 1869, Congress had established that the USSC would consist of the chief justice and eight associate justices.
I wish they would make up their damn “minds” cause the very last article I saw was singing the praises of court packing whereas the implication here is that it’s a bad thing. Guess it depends on who exactly is the one doing the packing.
Elections have consequences. So much crying on the left over this.
He’s a racist for not changing his name. Cancel him! REEEEEEEEE!
His name is racist. He needs to shut his mouth.
So Obama “packed” the Supreme Court with Sotomayor.....
I’ts called elections have consequences!
All the Democrats are saying this exact phrase - it’s the official approved talking point of the week. Even Slow-Joe managed to read it correctly from his teleprompter yesterday.
Apparently these talking points are distributed on Saturday mornings so that all the imbeciles have a day to practice before reciting them like lemmings on the Sunday morning talk shows.
If the Court were dropped back to seven, who would lose their job?
Why was she confirmed just 3 years ago to the 7th Circuit?
Coons is just one of the dumbest men in the Senate.
This coming from the bald jackass who allowed Biden to molest his daughter in front of the world will he looked on with an uncomfortable smile
Surprise...surprise...he’s a Democrat. If the shoe were on the other foot, a new SCJ would already be sitting on the bench. Hypocrites...
They know it is not court-packing. But most of the dunces who listen to this crap don’t.
I read the Constitution. I didn’t see anything in Article 3 that mentioned “qualifications” to be on SCOTUS...
They change the meaning of words to advance their agendas.
FIFY
When the Democrats talk about their desire to pack the court, all they want to do is fill the Ginsberg vacancy? I don’t think so. They want to appoint additional justices to solidify the court in their favor. That’s packing the court. Let’s not let them get away with redefining language, again. I am sure that in the course of history, the ideological balance of the court has shifted a number of times. That’s the way it should be. The people elect a President and a Senate and court appointments would be expected to reflect the will of the people expressed through the election.
If Trump is re-elected and the Republicans hold the Senate, I guarantee that the Democrats will pull this crap again.
Can you tell me who is the stupidest member of the SJC. We have Mazie, and we have Stolen Valor - lie about one thing you have lied about everything - we have Whitehorse’s Ass, and we have Spartacus. I just can’t decide myself. I don’t think those 4 together add up to a certifiable moron.
