Joy Reid Urges Dems to Pack SCOTUS, Kill Filibuster, Make DC & Puerto Rico States
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/19/2020 11:52:14 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

When I heard the news of the passing away of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, I had a suspicion that Joy Reid would be reclaiming her spot today as host of AM Joy, the MSNBC show she left in favor of hosting a weekday primetime slot on the network. And sure enough, there Reid was this morning, having big-footed the aspirants to her host chair. [The apparently power-hungry Reid had also previously imposed herself as a guest on her former show!]

Reid had an urgent message for Democrats: threaten, and exact, retaliation on Republicans should they manage to replace Justice Ginsburg on the Supreme Court. Reid raised the notion with every guest during the show's opening half-hour. Here were Reid's specific suggestions:

The EXACT same agenda is advanced by columnist David Corn today. Does the DEM establishment still use FAX machines?

If this does not motivate Conservatives to vote nothing will.

Donald Trump should go ahead and pack it now.

To pack the Court you need to control the Presidency, the House and the Senate.

There is no question that the democrats will pack the Court the next time they control all three. Then the next time the Republicans control all three they will repack the Court. Eventually, there will be more Supreme Court Justices than there are congresscritters.

I had a suspicion that Joy Reid ...

Hmmm, I never think about Joy Reid unless I see something posted, or fat-finger the remote and she's on the mis-selected channel.

Screw DC and Puerto Rico. Make Taiwan a state and sit back and watch the Chicoms fume.

Very understandable, but I follow AM Joy for NewsBusters [governs=Finkelstein], so do find myself wondering what she’ll be up to.

She clearly seems to want to hog the limelight. Even after she left the show as host, she’s made a number of return appearances as a guest, and today snatched the host chair back to cover the RBG new.

Have everyone stand on one side of the island?

If Guam can tip over, I’m sure PR can too...

Might work. I was thinking of something a little more deliberate, though. A nice thermonuke of the appropriate yield, air burst at the optimal altitude a la Bikini Atoll should do the trick.

I grew up during the "Cold War" - the time of "nuclear proliferation" and "MAD" (mutually assured destruction). The USSR and USA were frantically building more and more, larger and larger weapons to threaten each other with.

We stood on the brink of mass extinction if all of those weapons were ever unleashed. Not only total devastation, but total devastation MANY TIMES OVER. Finally it was agreed that we had 'way too many warheads hooked to a hair trigger that was bound to go off sooner or later.

No, I'm not nuts or on the wrong thread - these court-packing libs got me thinking about that time. If Biden should raise the number of judges and claim the judiciary for his party (assuming he could), why couldn't the next POTUS do the same? If he adds six, then the next guy adds ten more, from HIS party, and on and on until we are ALL judges!

I say no, thanks. I don't have the time, and I would look silly in a floor-length robe. I think nine is sufficient.

“Give Puerto Rico back to Spain.”

Spain doesn’t want it back. Why should Spain want a welfare s***hole full of resentful ingrates?

Give Puerto Rico its independence. Remember the FALN terrorists Clinton pardoned?

Here’s the problem. If you announce PR will be independent, everyone will leave the island and move to the US to keep their US Citizenship, the only ones left behind will be those without the means to do so.
