All the campaign talk about packing the Supreme Court, if not term limits on justices, was by design in the Democrats' election playbook to "intimidate,"
...
the Supreme Court was sent a message by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party during the election.
"And the message was: 'If you overturn this election, we will pack you, and make your Court basically meaningless."
...
for why the SCOTUS refused to hear an "original jurisdiction" case put forth by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in Texas v. Pennsylvania. The Court rejected the case on "standing," but there is no place to hear a state versus state case other than SCOTUS, ..
They knew they were committing this fraud," Morris adding, referring to the Democrats' mass mail-in ballot election to defeat President Donald Trump. "They knew what was going around this country."
The SCOTUS talk before the election was effectively a "shot across the bow," Morris added, saying the SCOTUS justice decided "discretion is the better part of valor" in deciding to not hear Paxton's case and "getting out of the way of his bullet."
The Democrat playbook continued after the election, too, Morris said, including the hastily formed Cabinet in "record time."
"All of that was to create momentum so the Court would not overturn the election," Morris said. "Then confronting this wall of opposition from everybody, including the media, the justices blinked.
"And just ask yourself: Who raised the issue of Court packing? We didn't. Why would the Democrats raise an issue that was hurting them? We would never bring it up; we never thought of packing the Court. They did."
Morris concluded, "it was a systemic effort, that succeeded, to intimidate the U.S. Supreme Court."

I read it, it was worth reading. Thanks it gives me hope.
You can’t negotiate with terrorists. IF this is true (I have no reason to doubt it ), we are up against worse terrorism than 9/11.
Either we deal with it or enjoy your chains.
It's an interesting perspective and rather compelling.

No. Trump picked two Bush loyalists swamp creatures who do what they are told. Barrett was a phony during her whole confirmation. I never trusted her and I was right. She exposed herself kneeling at the altar of Saint George of Kirby. Now they can’t wait to take out the second amendment. The first is already gone thanks to this court.
this was very hard to read, it needs to be broken up into paragraphs
This is the way it should work, but I believe there are too many RINOs in the legislatures who just want to go along to get along and would prefer to let Biden have the Presidency rather than stick their necks out for Trump - who they don't really like, anyway.
How does this even make sense?
“If you make us LOSE, we’ll pack the court...”.
Wait... won’t they have nearly ZERO power and ability to do that if the court overturned the media-called election results?
Why would Thomas care? He’s retiring soon anyway.
Why would the rest of them care either? They’re secure for as long as they wish.
Silly scenario, Dick.
Except Levin’s wife isn’t a lawyer, so WTF?
Apparently they didn’t scare them too badly. They wouldn’t even hear the Texas case. Now they will be free to pack it if Georgia is lost.
Type a <
(This means "begin hypertext")
Type a P right after it.
(This means "Paragraph")
Type a >
(This means "End hypertext")
So... "Less than, P, Greater than".
That's how you make a paragraph break.
If it's important why not try it again?
You write a thoughtful commentary about the most important issue of our time and lazy, whiney dopes on FR give you crap about “paragraphs”. Geez, maybe the President SHOULD just retire!
With the recent SCOTUS ruling, it appears the court is already packed.
If Texas has “no standing”, then why should Federal laws apply in Texas?

This election has Not been rigged.
DNC
I think they didn’t need to use ‘packing’.
Look what happened to Tony Bolinski and the other whistleblowers. These guys accepted the SCOTUS seats to have a good life, not have themselves and their extended families under threat. Heck, only a few in the country can stand the heat. Look at Spicer, etc.
I didnt write it, I only copied and pasted.
I thought I had attributed it to the writer, maybe I didnt. I will be looking to see if I did.
I did. Karen Kowalski wrote it.
But... Trump has given us a judge from his LIST. He promised us a LIST, and kept that campaign promise to us. Promises made, promises kept! That reason ALONE is enough to re-elect him! Every single judge on that list was carefully vetted. If those judges WEREN'T outstanding strict-constructionist pro-life originalists, PDJT would not have placed them on the List. Why are you trying to sow doubts about the List? Are you some kind of bitter NeverTrumper who just wants to sabotage his BIG WIN here? 4D Chess!! God Bless Gorsuch! God Bless Kav! God Bless ACB!! They said Trump couldn't do it, he proved them wrong! MAGA!! I can't WAIT for MORE awesome Trump nominees!!! #winning!!!!!
