House Speaker Nancy Pelosi does not support the effort by her fellow Democratic congressional leaders to expand the Supreme Court from nine justices to 13 — and will not bring such a bill to the floor for a vote, she said Thursday.

Pelosi made the revelation while during her weekly press conference, offering a stark “No” after being asked about the measure being introduced to expand the nation’s highest bench.

Just what I’d expect from a seasoned street fighter like nanzi.

Great, for now.

But she’s getting older and the Democrat base is communist and young. There is only so long that the Democrat guard will be able to hold them back before they lose the ability to do so.

That’s what we get when you play footsie with radicals.

The Squad ain’t gonna like being dissed that way.
I can already see images of that bald lady (Pressley) finding some reason to call Nancy ‘racist’, even though stacked courts have nothing to do with race.

This is all designed to intimidate the current court to make narrow rulings.

Don’t relax just yet. Nanzi is a committed socialist. When it is all said and done we will find that she was merely against the bill before she was for it. She is just waiting for something nice to be exchanged for her support.

And youse all knows that I’m right!

But she is not a fool.

She, and other old guard Dems, know that the violence dial is stuck on right now, and best not to get other sides in on the game.

The Demoncrats do not really need to pack the court, given that they have Chief Justice John “Yes, Yes Epstein really did kill himself!” G. Roberts in their pocket.

She’s said “no” before, and then turned it to “yes” while no one was looking.

Yep. And they never did. This whole thing is designed to put the Supremes on notice what the Marxist could do if they rule too much to their displeasure.

She’s a D’Alesandro who grew up in the old Baltimore political machine. She’s a nasty and corrupt old crone, but she has never been stupid. She knows that swing district Democrats can’t support this, they won’t cut their own throats.

Personally, I would not use “not” and “fool” in the same sentence when speaking of madame speaker.

Nancy will bring it up for a vote, once the initial shock of the idea begins to ease up.

Will be up for a vote in 1-2 weeks.
