Democrats kinking the Constitution the the curb … their SOP since FDR.
“Democrat Attempts to Pack the Court Threaten Constitutional Checks and Balances”
Isn’t that the point?
“When Chief Justice John Roberts was nominated to the high court, he announced his beliefs that the role of the Supreme Court was similar to the role of an umpire in baseball — it calls balls and strikes as it sees them. However, it does not have a say in a particular political outcome.”
He lied about his own belief.
He has made the court political by (1) twisting law to suit a supposed “non-controversial outcome” (avoiding supposed controversy by approving Obamacare by twisting the definitions of taxes and penalties), (2) by avoiding hard Constitutional decisions and kicking the can down the road, leaving matters “settled” only barely, technically, incompletely and just for the moment. He operates as if the SCOTUS not deciding against Congress is leaving the SCOTUS apolitical. He is wrong. It is making the SCOTUS political.
The Founders erred in allowing Congress to fix the number of Supreme Court justices. So yes, Congress legally can pack the Court. As the author noted, it would upset our system of checks and balances.
But it would not be unconstitutional.
They have not “attempted to pack the court”.
Nobody has even introduced a bill into committee.
The operation of a political prison under the direct control of Congress, with habeas corpus and Amendments IV, V, and VI suspended threatens it a hell of a lot more.
What checks and balances? Seems the DEMs and the Deep State can blackmail/threaten anyone on the SCOTUS to get their way without any form of punishment.
Let them. The SC court is BS anyways.
Packing the court would cheapen the court even more than it already is.
I don’t fault the Democrats for using pressure tactics. I wish our side would do it. Their side is constantly pushing the envelope. Constantly advancing the ball. They are winning. Our side manages the status quo. One step forward, two steps back. All talk, no action. This can’t continue.
“Each state shall appoint, in such a manner as the legislature thereof may direct...”
Judicial meddling in violation of state law made the election unlawful.
Judicially-instigated Postal Service meddling in violation of state law made the election unlawful.
Official election fraud in violation of state law made the election unlawful.
We have no lawful President because the election was not conducted in a constitutional manner.
The United States legally lacks a President and can’t under law place a new person on the Supreme Court until early 2025.
Would Joe Biden like a Supreme Court written opinion on this matter?
For Democrats, the constitution is so yesterday! They admit it publicly.
Reminds me of the lyrics of a song called “I’m a good old rebel”. Perfect anthem for the Democrats. THEY should be flying the stars and bars.
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.”

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.

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?
