Drastic change.
They know they have a very limited time to pull of a complete coup for total power. If something like this doesn’t happen I’ll be shocked.
*IF* the Reps ever get congress/president again, it’ll be a ping pong effect with an endlessly growing court.
There’s always a threat from the left over total takeover, from guns to stuff like this.
BS
The article is asinine as written with garbage opinions and lied. Besides that,we shall see about the main point of packing the court. Congress loves committees and commissions. They want two new states and four more justices. That’s very ambitious. Add that to a election system federized and it’s over.
Well the dems are that stupid. Next elexshun we be reducing it to three.
They can only advance the idea if all 50 Democratic Senators agree. I would doubt that they can muster the 50...to get VP Harris in for the tie-breaking vote.
This whole thing is toxic with implications that resonate for the next five years. 2024 might arrive and Trump returns to business on day one to add six justices on top of the Biden added.
There needs to be some Constitutional reform done, otherwise, in a decade...we’d have around thirty justices.
Welcome to the Soviet Union.
I’m surprised Hank Johnson is supporting this, Those extra judges may tip the Supreme Court over and damage the building.
Why isn’t Hank Johnson concerned that 4 more judges will make the court tip over?
“ Republicans threw out the procedures they had previously embraced...”
Lie.
Since the democrats are angling for full power one wonders when the train will arrive
It’s clear to me they’re setting us up for maximum chaos. That’s why the lockdown and Covid hysteria is still going on. That’s why BLM/ANTIFA is still organizing to riot in our cities, and are not even going to the suburbs to setup false flag incidents to attack normal people in their home. And also why the Democrats are going gung ho with packing the Supreme Court, letting in millions of illegals, and going after guns.
The question is: what’s the purpose of the chaos? Could be incoming war with the Russians and Chinese, as JR Nyquist thinks. Could be attempting to provoke civil war in the United States, or “right wing terror attacks,” to justify more tolatarian action. Or it could be both.
Democrats have found their cure. Now, the court reform commission can find the problem.
Game over if this passes.
PACK THE COURT WITH EXTREME MARXIST’S - To totally destroy the court, freedoms, rights and all good things about this nation. After the court is packed, the first thing they will do is bring the first gun case up before the Marxist Court of Destruction of the Republic to do away with personal ownership of guns. Then the Marxist’s Regime in Sodom on the Potomac will demand all people turn in their privately owned guns. OF COURSE, the ONLY people that will have to turn in their guns are those of us who properly purchased them at gun businesses and followed the law. The criminals, outlaws, gangsters of Chicago’s southside, drug cartels, mafia, thugs, murderers, rapists, who have their ILLEGALLY obtained guns, WILL POSSESS THEM. Oh, and of course, the Marxist’s Antifa Police that will soon be roaming our streets, breaking into our homes which we will no longer be able to defend and take out of it what they want to take. Obstruct them and be shot on sight because you are violating the Marxist’s Regime’s new made up on the spot by them, laws. Once the guns are gone, the final will of the people will be gone. There are not enough of us who have guns bought from second hand sources out here to defend the Republic. If you get caught with a gun or use one to defend your life or property, YOU will become the criminal, not the criminal. YOU, not the criminal will go to jail, probably for 10 or more years. Your property will be confiscated by the Regime as payment for your fines they will levy against us for defying their Marxist’s orders. THIS PACKING OF THE COURT IS NOT FOR DETERMINING TRUE LAW, IT IS FOR ONE THING ONLY, GIVING THEM TOTAL CONTROL OF THE LAW OF THE LAND, SO THAT MARXIST’S CAN MAKE UP THE RULES AS THEY GO AND TO HELL WITH THE CONSTITUTION!!! The Constitution as written will become worthless and the Bill of Rights will be burned on the steps of the Marxist’s Supreme Court. No conservative, Christian, or freedom loving thoughts need apply, because they will be denied!!! Welcome to the NEW Soviet Union of Amerika. It will make the old Russian one look like a Sunday School picnic. Your life will become expendable.
The 'course' of the nation's history? The count has been the same for 152 years -- more than 60% of our nation's history.
If anything, Herr Grim, you agitprop weasel, the 9-member limit has been the nation's STANDARD number of Supreme Court Justices.
Genius McConnell. Shear genius, you and your GOP kind. Banish Trump and keep the Senate and we can go back to good old RINOism as we know and love it.
This is your legacy. Traitor.
It’s the same strategy that is being used at the boarder: flood the country with “their” voters, but in this case it’s flood the court.
Has anyone seen the $$ cost of his six-month “commission” on this ?
Yes, but the donkeys and rhinos outnumber the elephants.
