If Obama declares war on the USSC, he will lose. I can’t wait to see them strike down his commie Obamacare passed by trickery. Barry doesn’t have the votes to stack the court so he can FO. After the 2010 election, Barry is a lame duck. After the 2012 election, he is dead in the water.
I knew Thomas Jefferson, he was a friend of mine. Obama, you are no Thomas Jefferson.
Something to consider ....Obama can attempt to “Pack the Court” al la FDR.. what stopped FDR was he didn’t have a majority in the congress.
The O if he wanted could change the number of justices and stuff it with lefties like him self ..
See the Wicki snip below ...
The United States Constitution does not specify the size of the Supreme Court, but Article III authorizes the Congress to fix the number of justices. The Judiciary Act of 1789 called for the appointment of six justices. As the country grew geographically, Congress increased the number of justices to correspond with the growing number of judicial circuits: the court was expanded to seven members in 1807, nine in 1837 and ten in 1863.
At the request of Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase, Congress passed the Judicial Circuits Act (1866) which provided that the next three justices to retire would not be replaced; thus, the size of the Court should have eventually reached seven by attrition. Consequently, one seat was removed in 1866 and a second in 1867. However, this law did not play out to completion, for in the Judiciary Act of 1869,[74] also known as the Circuit Judges Act, the number of justices was again set at nine, where it has since remained.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt attempted to expand the Court in 1937, seeking to appoint an additional justice for each incumbent justice who reached the age of 70 years 6 months and refused retirement; under Roosevelt’s proposal, such appointments would continue until the Court reached a maximum size of 15 justices. Ostensibly, the proposal was made to ease the burdens of the docket on the elderly judges, but the President’s actual purpose was to pack the Court with justices who would support New Deal policies and legislation.[75] This plan, usually called the “Court-packing Plan”, failed in Congress and proved a political disaster for Roosevelt.[76] The balance of the Court shifted with the retirement of Willis Van Devanter and the confirmation of Hugo Black in August 1937. By the end of 1941, Roosevelt had appointed seven Supreme Court justices and elevated Harlan Fiske Stone to Chief Justice.[77]
