Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) called for Congress to “expand” the Supreme Court on Monday, as activists chanted “pack the Court!” outside the building after a draft decision leaked that would overturn the Roe v. Wade (1973) decision on abortion.
Court-packing refers to the idea of adding seats to the Supreme Court and immediately filling the vacancies with reliably loyal justices. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt threatened to pack the Court in the 1930s; left-wing Democrats revived the idea after the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018, which gave the Court a nominal 5-4 conservative majority that has since expanded to 6-3 since Justice Amy Coney Barrett replaced the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

As I understand it, the decision is that it will be left to individual states to decide. What’s wrong with that?
These smelly freaks are going to go ape.
I’d like to see this effort by the Democrats blocked. And then I’d like to see a Republican president name 6 additional people to the court, and choose 6 men in their 20s who have pledged to be originalists. Very young versions of Scalia and Thomas. Let them be on the court for 50 or 60 years. And not Ivy league people either.
Ha ha. How convenient that this leaks from Politico (whatever this is, and I say hoax) just as the Dems are collapsing. And how convenient that the Dems have the “war on women” to try and save them. Uh huh.
Pay no attention to that border, inflation, high gas prices, crime, fentanyl, grooming, CRT and the Ministry of Truth. It’s the WAR ON WOMEN!!!
And of course, the Dems have their agenda ready to be pushed the minute this comes out. Look for their election law and BBB to be next up as the answer to this egregious decision.
“What’s wrong with that?”
The Left can’t have any opposition to it anywhere on any subject, especially this subject. The mere thought that States can make their own laws on abortion makes them apoplectic.
L
Now, this could be a big reason for a leak. What if there was a fake leak to gin up trouble and support in order to pack the court before midterms?
The leftist scum outside the Supreme Court are chanting “F Joe Manchin”.
They are just getting started. We are in a war.
SC didn’t actually “decide” to leave it up to states. That’s the default. Always had been, and will be again when Roe is struck down.
So it doesn’t prohibit abortions, just makes them harder to find in some states, but libs won’t ever acknowledge it.
Where to begin (from a leftist's POV)…they can't force a State to perform abortions. Planned Parenthood's stock of baby parts is going to be on par with car chips. More importantly (to them) this restores the religious objection of the voters within any given State to the abhorrent practice and THAT is a biggie for the atheist left.
Because if you don’t like the results, change the people counting the votes.
Hope you’re right.
No way in hell will EVERY Dem —along with ALL Repubs— join together to change makeup of the court, but I do hope they try.
Efforts will alienate everyone except suburban women which is the demo they already own. It would cement that vote, but chase away even more indies, imho
This leak has KJB written all over it imho.
