F off, scumbag. Except for your senility, Robert but would have brought criminal charges against you. You and your whole family are a bunch of financial criminals.

I’m surprised at how tone deaf the democrats have gotten. They know they won’t come anywhere near the 2/3 required to get amendments out of Congress, so this is merely performative. Do they really think Joe Sixpack gives a damn?

They put the idea out there. It may take years, or decades, for it to come to fruition.

It doesn't always work out though. They did it with the ERA, and with slave reparations. The story will never really be over with those, however.

Oh, I forgot. They did it with same-sex marriage, and that came to pass. There are other things they did it with too. Amnesty and open borders and “no human is illegal,” I guess.

Two people familiar with the matter told Politico that the president is likely to endorse establishing term limits for justices

They would have to amend the Constitution to get this changed. And a Constitutional Convention would have to be convened, and then two-thirds of the state legislatures of 50 states (34 of them) would have to ratify.

The same way the Constitution was changed for the presidency in 1951 to two terms maximum. By constitutional convention and state ratification. NOT BY AN ACT OF CONGRESS!

It's unbelievable that elected officials at the federal level are conveniently avoiding or trying to leapfrog past the 50-state legislature ratification requirement and are talking like "boyz in da' hood" about American jurisprudence and the separation of powers as a matter the currently elected Congress by itself can affect.

The reason the founders in their wisdom gave the USSC life terms or "continuance on good behavior" was to insulate them from the influences of constantly changing political winds in the electoral movements of the legislative and executive branches.

The Constitution doesn't give a set number of judges for SCOTUS.

IF kommiela wins and they hold the sinate, schumer will scrap the filibuster and nominate more judges until they get a liberal majority.

And they'll have a case where those judges will reinstate Roe; except it will be on steroids.
