Senate Judiciary Committee member Sen. Chris Coons said on Sunday that the Senate moving to confirm President Trump's Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett "constitutes court-packing," and called the nominee's views "disqualifying."

Coons, D-Del., made the comments during an interview with "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace. Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., will also speak with Wallace Sunday.

"I'm going to be laying out the ways in which Judge Barrett's views ... are not just extreme, they're disqualifying," Coons said of Democrats' strategy for Barrett's hearings. "It constitutes court-packing."

[knighthawk]

Yeah so Barrett is an extremist and he confirms they will pack the court "because the GOP is doing so too"

[ronnie raygun]

How idiotic but the blind masses agree because they are idiots to

"What they're really talking about is the suicide bombing two branches of government," Sasse added, noting that if Senate Democrats -- should they get a majority and Joe Biden be elected president -- were to attempt to pack the Supreme Court they would likely have to do away with the legislative filibuster as well.

Additionally, they want to add DC and PR as states - 4 additional Rat Senators, and at least two Rat Congressmen. I can't think of a peaceful resolution if that occurs.

“”””Coons, D-Del., made the comments during an interview with “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace. Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., will also speak with Wallace Sunday. “””

So they are both taking to Bidens campaign manager. Cool.

Harris launched the strategy. The rats are exploiting the confusion with the term. From the go the GOP should have been using “adding more justice to the SC” and not used the term packing. Biden will start saying Trump has been packing the court with white conservatives for three years. It will totally obscure the issue and I’d say it’s going to work.

” that’s ‘obviously’ incorrect”

Senate Judiciary Committee member Sen. Chris Coons ...

Das racist.

[faithhopecharity]

Coons should change both his brain (he got short-changed) and his name (racist)

[Brian Griffin]

The term “court packing” means to put more than nine people on the Supreme Court.

Democrats twist words to fabricate falsehoods.

The left are all Humpty Dumptys. “When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”

[tennmountainman]

Coons, other RATs and Fake News can run their mouth all they want.
But Barrett will be confirmed before the election.

Senate Judiciary member Sen. Chris Coons said that Pres Trump's USSC nominee Amy Coney Barrett "constitutes court-packing....

One of the dumbest statements ever spoken by a US Senator.

===========================================

REALITY CHECK: The Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937, frequently called the "court-packing plan,"
was proposed by then-Pres FDR to add more justices to the USSC .

FDR wanted to coerce favorable rulings regarding New Deal legislation that the USSC had ruled unconstitutional.

The central provision of the FDR bill would have granted the president power to appoint an additional justice to the USSC,
to a maximum of six, for every member of the court over the age of 70 years and 6 months.

====================================

BACKSTORY In the Judiciary Act of 1869, Congress had established that the USSC would consist of the chief justice and eight associate justices.

Coons: to quote your god (obama), “Elections have consequences”..If you want to appoint liberal judges, win elections. In the mean time, shut the hell up.

You nailed it! What they have in mind is the complete DNC dynasty and the vision of the Fourth Reich. I think it is safe to say that we are in a civil war.

Additionally, they want to add DC and PR as states - 4 additional Rat Senators, and at least two Rat Congressmen.

Additionally, 30,000,000 illegal aliens, most of whom believe the Democrats will give them something for nothing.
