BREAKING: House and Senate Dems Plan Bill To Pack The Court, Adding Four Justices
Red Voice Media ^ | 04/14/2021 | RAY DIETRICH

Posted on 04/14/2021 8:33:55 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Democrats in both the House and Senate are reportedly constructing legislation to be released on Thursday to pack the Supreme Court, adding four justices.

The Intercept reported, “The bill would add four seats to the high court, bringing the total to 13, from the current 9. The number of justices on the Court has fluctuated widely throughout the course of the nation’s history. Republicans currently hold 6 seats, while Democrats hold just 3 after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg and the quick confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett.”

The bill is reportedly being led by Rep. Jerry Nadler, Rep. Hank Johnson, and Rep. Mondair Jones in the house. In the Senate, it is being led by Sen. Ed Markey.

Yay, another bill filed I’m supposed to be frothing over.

It’s not going to pass, people. Same with the Green New Deal (whose Senate sponsor - Ed Markey - is exactly the same as this court-packing scheme). Same with the reparations bill. Etc.

Stop getting so mad over stuff you know won’t pass in the 117th United States Congress.

“ FDR didn’t have a bunch of commie working for him - within the United States...”

Now that’s funny. FDR was our first socialist President.

“ I don’t think FDR played his hands as nasty as these depraved minds do. They have no conscious at all.....and much of the public is just as bad.”

FDR tried to destroy a farmer for growing crops in a small plot of land just for his family. It went all the way to the Supreme Court.

Then he threatened to pack the court.

You have no idea how bad FDR was.

Thus the tragedy of war begins internaly in a nation of ignorance. It will be as sad as the Civil War. I hope I am wrong.

You think they have control of the Supremes now? You ain’t seen noting yet. The reason to pack the court is to push unconstitutional ‘laws’ ... Everyone of the Bill of Rights will be gone within a year of pulling this off...

As Biden said, he wondered if there would even be a Republican party in 2024. I doubt it. But I also doubt there will be a democrat party...

Useful idiots are usually killed first - they’re the people who will feel betrayed.

2/3rds?

Why not a simple majority to create the law?

Actually, he did. But not in Congress.

Well that’s why we fought so hard to keep President Trump in office and He did win the election....unfortunately those in the system weren’t willing to stop this coup....and here we are.

However we do have to navigate these times as we are in the midst of a crooked, twisted, distorted and perverse generation and it’s pervasive.

It is written.. ‘By the path of the righteous is the light of dawn shining brighter and brighter until the full of day”.....We are the ONLY hope this generation has and our light still needs to shine.

This is all leading to hyperinflation, which will lead to the destruction of the very state they worship. The 50 states need to start getting prepared for a lot more autonomy.

Expect the worst....things aren’t going to get better....they’re going full speed at securing their power now and for the future and THAT is their Only agenda while they continue to keep the public weakened by these protests etc. All their hands are undoubtedly on deck both in Washington and across the nation.

I think individuals also should be preparing as it has crossed my mind it could mean moving out of my state if the political equation in Harrisburg doesn’t change.
