New York Post ^ | October 18, 2020 | Lee Brown

A Democratic member of the Senate Judiciary Committee said Sunday that he was open to packing the Supreme Court with more justices if Joe Biden is elected president.

Asked on CNN’s “State of the Union” if his mind is open to expanding the number of judges into the court to counterbalance conservative Amy Coney Barrett if she gets confirmed, Delaware Sen. Chris Coons said “yes.”

He compared his position to his party’s presidential nominee, who has ( refused to be drawn on the issue — with Biden) only saying he will ( announce it before the election.)

[snip]“It is the Republican majority that’s responsible for racing forward with this extreme, unqualified nominee — unqualified because of her extreme judicial philosophy,” he claimed of Barrett.

Sen. Coons would agree to almost anything but the United States Constitution.

Coons and others like him think that the Supreme Court is there to pass on all unconstitutional agendas like the ACA and abortion on demand and little else. Judge Barrett has written and ruled on many cases objectively & fairly other than the ACA and abortion on demand which is R v W. Coons is narrow minded, hardly worthy of his position as Senator.

Wasn’t it Coons and his best friend Jeff Flakey who joined forces to complain about Brett Kavanaugh back in 2018 and Coons was described as a Senate “moderate”? What a joke.

If it can be packed, it can be un-packed.

Wonderful. So much for any substantive ‘checks and balances’ role of the Supreme Court. It would become a total joke. It’s amazing how politics selects for unethical self-aggrandizing pathetically unqualified people.

so its ok to just stack the court to get what we want

because we can’t do it the historical way of winning the presidential election and having a democrat-run senate and appointing justices the way all presidents have had to do it

phucking socialist pogs

That’s why we need to keep the Senate. If we fail to hold the Senate, well the Democrats will be able to do whatever they way in doomsday scenario where Trump wins.

We The People are open to "unpacking" a packed Supreme Court.

Because We are the ultimate bosses - not needled*cks like Chris "Feel Up My Daughter, Creepy Joe!" Coons...

“If it can be packed, it can be un-packed.”


I don’t know if it can be. Don’t Justices serve essentially for life. (I know it’s good behavior).

The day after he is reelected, Trump should go in front of the cameras and announce a committee to lay out a plan to pack the court.

He doesn’t have to do it but it would cause massive strokes and crapping of pants on the part of the democrats. Sometimes you just have to f**k withy their minds.

The look on his daughter’s face says a lot, but the look on Coon’s face, that’s a forced smile if I’ve ever seen one. At least Senator Sessions pulled his granddaughter out of harm’s way.

The guy is enjoying the limelight while his daughter is being harassed. What a horrible man and horrible father.
