“(or 5-4, given that Chief Justice John Roberts has essentially become a swing vote).”
...going right to left is pretty rare. Unless somebody has pictures of you with a goat in stockings in a hotel or something of that nature.
The Democrats would like it if every single person in America was a Supreme Court Justice.
The premie is in error
The premise is that there will be democrats alive and functioning to destroy the American government
This is where the States HAVE to step in and finally have a convention if they do this, it’s a risk but it will have to happen.
Someone needs to remind the state legislatures that they do have power if they choose to wield it together, all I ask for is a reset of the justices to 9, term limits in the house an senate like they did to the President, and a balanced budget amendment except in time of a declared war. Everything else stands as it was written.
The will pick liberal courts and process every idiotic liberal plan they have.
They will use what I call “repeal to a third position” tactic that they successfully used in the past.
You start with position A. You enact a new law B that is the opposite of what you want, but badly worded that it fails constitutional challenge in court.
So it must be ‘repealed’.
But instead of going BACK TO A (the usual definition of ‘repeal’), you go to the new and opposite position C- which is what they wanted all along. Since B is unconstitutional, the OPPOSITE of B must be the new ‘law of the land’, entirely manufactured by the court.
They did this with gays in the military and gay marriage. But (not surprisingly) they said it didn’t apply to the whole country when 2nd amendment restrictions were found to be unconstitutional.
What Will Happen If the Democrats Pack the Supreme Court?

There would no longer be any swings in power. The RATs would rewrite the rules so they stay the rulers. Permanently.
Do any of you think for one minute that the Dem’s WON’T “pack the Court” if they win the Presidency and Senate in Nov?
I’m 100% sure they will. And they’ll destroy our system of government completely by doing so, as the Court will simply become an extended legislative branch to support whatever the Dems pass in the House and Senate, no matter how whacky (GND) or egregious (overturn 2A, etc).
Packing the court is a historical prelude to a dictatorship.
“What happens when the Republicans regain power and they want a 60% conservative advantage?”
Does Prager understnd the purpose of packing the court? The Republicans may regain power but liberty minded people will not.
Once the Dems have the SC we will immediately see a plethoria of new election laws such as porportional reresentation, mandatory balloting supported by mail and ballot harvesting. There will also be at least a weakenng of the electoral college and the admission of two Democratic states. Plus the census will be skewed to account for alll the “undercounting” in Dem States.
If the Commie-Rats win this time, I expect them to pass a number of laws to attempt to legalize all manor of voter fraud enabling them to become permanently in power. That will be a primary focus. Anything else they want, will be secondary.
Packing the court would not occur in a vacuum.
Complementing the effort, will be National Popular Vote, Ranked Choice Voting, return to Commie Core, Agenda 21, GNDeal, etc.
If the Libs win they will never let the Republicans gain control again.
Their new court would find all types of voter id unconstitutional and that illegal immigrants have a right to vote.
Kind of silly.. if democrats pack the court there won’t ever be another republican senate majority.
