There are lots of Eisenhower quotes here:
https://www.eisenhowerlibrary.gov/eisenhowers/quotes
“It is unwise to make education too cheap. If everything is provided freely, there is a tendency to put no value on anything. Education must always have a certain price on it; even as the very process of learning itself must always require individual effort and initiative.”
Address, Centennial Celebration Banquet of the National Education Association, Washington, DC, 4/4/57
“Censorship, in my opinion, is a stupid and shallow way of approaching the solution to any problem. Though sometimes necessary, as witness a professional and technical secret that may have a bearing upon the welfare and very safety of this country, we should be very careful in the way we apply it, because in censorship always lurks the very great danger of working to the disadvantage of the American nation.”
Associated Press luncheon, New York, New York, 4/24/50
“I believe that war is the deadly harvest of arrogant and unreasoning minds.”
Address, National Education Association, Washington, DC, 4/4/57
“The world moves, and ideas that were good once are not always good.”
The President’s News Conference of 8/31/56
“There is — in world affairs — a steady course to be followed between an assertion of strength that is truculent and a confession of helplessness that is cowardly.”
State of the Union Address, 2/2/53
Democrats hate the Constitution and don’t want to be hamstrung in their attempts to turn us into Communist China. The all-powerful government model should terrify you.
Since the founding
The Democrat party is the party of taxation, slavery, and rebellion
I believe you are absolutely correct. The Democrats have dirt on the majority of SCOTUS.
They’ve been worthless anyway.
They refuse any case they don’t want to be involved in.
Justice Thomas is the only decent member with any integrity.
Not really.... what you noted is a result based on the 17th Amendment.
I’m talking about his refusing to restore governance by constitutional means, his being Mr No Repeal.
Even faithless and corrupt FDR, his administration riddled with communists as it was, would defend the nation’s borders.
As for the illegal aliens that Eisenhower found himself responding to, the legal-in-this-country Braceros were paid (or rather their government was given the money that was to be distributed to them) … but the Mexican government stole their wages and arguably set off things because those workers were then no longer willing to go through official channels for seasonal employment AND their seasonal employers didn’t care one way or another. FDR and company were nitwits to trust Mexico City, just like Reagan shouldn’t have later trusted Democrats on the amnesty deal.
Eisenhower might not have had anything to respond to if Mexico City hadn’t been run by crooks in the first place.
Now they’re the party of taxation, murder of innocents, champions of poofters, of people who don’t know which bathroom to use, of domestic terrorist, of Cultural Marxism and of giving aid and comfort to our enemies foreign and domestic.
Of course that’s an abbreviated list … the DNC is a fetid cesspool of evil and villainy, one both broad and deep.
Why else would they do it?
If the RINO treachery is not enough to vote every last one of them out of office in the 2022 primaries and get them replaced with grass-roots conservatives, then the GOP as a party is truly doomed.
AZ is slightly less swamp infested than GA. Hopefully the AZ audit will show that photo-copied cheat-by-mail-in ballots also stole the Senate seat from McSally. McSally wasn't the best candidate, but she was always in the lead on election day both times she "lost." Mail-in ballots always put her opponent over the edge. AZ has the power to de-certify their Senate race and replace a Senator who won by cheating with the true winner. We only need to flip one seat. And pray to God that the Dominion cheat-algorithm is exposed and eliminated before the Mid-Terms.
FDR’s court packing plan was successful in effect. After the packing effort was withdrawn SCOTUS no longer stood in the way of FDR. U.S v Darby Lumber and U.S v Wrightwood Dairy both effectively ended any limit on federal control of economic activity and essentially eviscerated the 10th Amendment. Just what FDR wanted.
From Wikipedia:
Louis Dembitz Brandeis (/ˈbrændaɪs/; November 13, 1856 – October 5, 1941) was an American lawyer and associate justice on the Supreme Court of the United States from 1916 to 1939.
He attended Harvard Law School, graduating at the age of 20 with the highest grade point average in the law school’s history.
Brandeis pioneered pro bono work and was a true reformer. Brandeis was also the first to cite law reviews both in his briefs before the court and in his opinions as a justice. In 1907, he pioneered a new type of legal document, the “Brandeis Brief.” It included three pages of traditional legal citations and over 100 innovative pages of citations to articles, government reports, and other references. It was packed full of social research and data to demonstrate the public interest in a ten-hour limitation on women’s working hours. His brief proved decisive in Muller v. Oregon, the first Supreme Court ruling to accept the legitimacy of a scientific examination of the social conditions, in addition to the legal facts involved in a case.
Wilson thereafter began using the term “regulated competition,” the concept that Brandeis had developed, and made it the essence of his program.
Brandeis’ successor, William O. Douglas, many years later, wrote that the nomination of Brandeis “frightened the Establishment” because he was “a militant crusader for social justice.”

“swore in a British subject/Kenyan”
Kamala Harris would be good legal material for a “natural born citizen” case in my opinion.
If she casts the tie-breaking vote in favor of any new law that reaches the Supreme Court, the “natural born citizen” issue can be adjudicated there.
If democrats get their way with packing the court(s), there might as well not be a supreme court, since it would be nothing more than a ‘yes court’ for everything that democrats wish to pass.
In fact, that might be the intent. No supreme court, and every bill would then get passed with no oversight at all. It’s the ultimate tyrannical end to the country, which would have incinerated the constitution and our bill of rights.
From Wikipedia:
Nominee Mark Kelly Martha McSally
Party Democratic Republican
Popular vote 1,716,467 1,637,661
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_Senate_special_election_in_Arizona
Officially, there was over a 70,000 vote margin of victory.
I’m not aware of cheating in Arizona of that magnitude.
The Arizona election officials are, in my opinion, acting as if they have things to hide, which appears to me to be the issues mentioned in:

I’m adding Qwant to my Edge browser since Google intends censor election-related results.
If the democrats try this, they will suffer a backlash the likes of which they have never seen before. Do they not feel the sentiment rising?
flash point....
“The size of the Supreme Court has been changed a couple of times over the years by acts of Congress. The Supreme Court has never objected to that. They have always deferred to Congress.”
Yes, but that was in the early days of the Republic, and mainly for specific reasons that were consistent with Necessary and Proper, like ensuring that the people in all states had enough justices to cover their respective jurisdictions.
“So given how weak most members of the Court are today, I’m guessing they won’t fuss too much.”
They may be weak at times when it comes to taking a stand on critical issues, but when it comes to actions by the other branches of government to weaken their power, I could see that as something justices would object to. Remember, they love the power they have, and could frown upon any attempt to water it down.
Here’s an interesting article on the subject:
“Court-packing isn’t just a bad idea — it’s downright unconstitutional”
https://nypost.com/2021/04/29/court-packing-isnt-just-a-bad-idea-its-downright-unconstitutional/
Look around, Thomas...
Wake up!
There is no meaning or teeth in that title...
This is no longer a Constitutional Republic...
There is no longer an “operating” Constitution...
Free and honest elections are gone permanently...
Get over it...
Only meaningful ideas backed up by substantial “actions” have a glimmer of hope of restoring the Constitution... (A slight course change for Apophis might also do the job...)
Once the court is packed, the remnants of the Constitution will be brought out of mothballs and immolated using all wrong-thinking supporters as fuel...
Aside: I just realized I’d used “kinking” rather than “kicking” in that post.
Considering that lawlessness is practically a fetish to those in government I guess it works,
