Leftists threaten violence or at best, some kind of anti-constitutional or radical solution if they don't get their way.

As President Trump moves to nominate a candidate to fill the seat of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died Friday, there are a growing number of Democrats threatening to implement a radical strategy and pack the Supreme Court if they take control of the White House and the Senate.
“If he holds a vote in 2020, we pack the court in 2021,” Rep. Joe Kennedy III, D-Mass., tweeted on Saturday. “It’s that simple.”
“Mitch McConnell set the precedent. No Supreme Court vacancies filled in an election year. If he violates it, when Democrats control the Senate in the next Congress, we must abolish the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court,” Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., tweeted.
The idea of “packing” the court with extra justices -- attempted unsuccessfully by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1937 to force through parts of his New Deal that were ruled unconstitutional by the high court -- has bubbled away on the fringes of the party for years.

What’s this little sniveling, slobbering ginger turd going on about “we” ? He just lost a Senate run and he’s out on his ass come January 3rd, 2021. You don’t have a vote next year, dumbass.

lol
If they take control of the White House?
When?!
They’ve probably blown their chances through 2028.
Yep, if they’re this childish they’ll find some excuse down the line.
I believe there is a ground swell of support for Trump. He received 306 electoral votes in 2016. Trump has not lost his base so it is reasonable to begin at 306 electoral votes and project higher.
I say that to say this...it’s going to be a blowout in favor of Trump/Pence. I also believe there will be a coat tail effect as the leftist really screwed the pooch of their extreme leftward turn and all the riots/looting.
[Packing the court could backfire in the long run, because it dilutes the power of each vote. We won’t have any more 5-4 decisions; they will have to be 6-5 or 7-6.]

Where in the Constitution does it say that?
That's what Kennedy/Johnson began, through the immigration explosion, and is largely complete now...
Communists have always, in the U.S., played the long-game... That's why they are on the verge of total victory...
Beginning in 1905 we were warned many times, but very few listened...
“.......While it was never voted on in Congress, the Supreme Court justices went public in their opposition to it. And a majority of the public never supported the bill, either, says Barbara A. Perry, director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center.
“Congress and the people viewed FDR’s ill-considered proposal as an undemocratic power grab,” she says. “The chief justice (Charles Evans Hughes) testified before Congress that the Court was up to date in its work, countering Roosevelt’s stated purpose that the old justices needed help with their caseload.......”
They would have done it anyway geez Dems are idiots..we already knew their plan nice of them to say it out loud
Trump will get 4 more years, he could very easily pack the courts.
And gues how the democrats would be with that.
They dont want him to use his lawful power to just replace a justice.
The dems threaten to pack the court because a republican president wants to fill a vacancy. This is what 2020 democrats are.
It is not in the Constitution, it is in the Judiciary Act of 1869. That was the law that set the number of justices at 9. Since it was a law that was passed and signed by the President, it can only be changed by passing legislation to repeal or amend it. I guess if there was no existing law setting the number of justices, and since the Constitution is silent on the matter, the President might be able to appoint justices at will. But since there is an existing law, that has to be changed in order to change the number of justices.
A poor idea that has never succeeded in a free political society... The Founders established a Republic instead of a democracy to prevent such mob-driven totalitarian nonsense that, eventually, accompanies those ideas...

And just how will the Rat Senate pick the President’s nominations for these additional Supreme Court seats?
Trump is already granting their wish /s
But the Dems are counting on Justice Hillary getting along , jaws clenched, with Justice Elizabeth Warren and Hillary's old pal Justice Podesta. Dems always end up in a bloc unlike the GOP.
They said they intended to do this’ months ago.
If they could have done it, they already would have. Between blackmailing and their other underhanded schemes, they gave it their best shot. Never expect anything good or decent from a Democrat and you won’t be disappointed.
Even in the future packed Court (15 or 19 or 25) the headlines will be “the Dem supported side won the long awaited case, with Justice Roberts voting with the liberal majority.”
And we will say here, when was Roberts a conservative? Nothing new.
I was just going to say that!!! Are they saying they are holding back???? NO!!!!!!!!!
