Dems Latest Scheme: ‘Balance’ Supreme Court by Adding Two Liberal Judges

NEW YORK — Following the confirmation of President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh, some Democrats and progressive activists are shifting tactics, pushing a scheme to “pack” or “balance” the Supreme Court by adding two new seats to be filled by liberal judges. The Supreme Court expansion plot would be enacted if Democrats retake Congress and the presidency in 2020, according to the plan.
On Saturday, Vice’s West Coast editor Harry Cheadle referenced the plot in a piece titled, “We’re Watching the Slow Poisoning of the Supreme Court.”

He wrote:

Chatter of impeaching Kavanaugh was floating around, and some have taken to imagining a scenario where the Democrats retake Congress and the White House in 2020 but have their progressive legislation blocked by the Supreme Court. The only way forward then, the argument goes, would be appointing extra justices to “pack” the court—a scheme proposed by Franklin Roosevelt in response to a similarly right-wing Supreme Court in the 30s (FDR’s plan was rejected by Congress, but the court became friendlier to his policies anyway).

On Sunday, Vox.com featured an interview with political scientist David Faris, who advocated in a recently published book for Democrats to pack the Supreme Court with as many liberal judges as they can. Farris branded the plan the “neutron option for the Supreme Court.”

There is historical precedent for this type of thing. The lefts quest for power is insatiable.

Essentially they are attempting to undermine the nations electoral process (where the elected appoint justices), in an attempt to implement their agenda.

This is the left, and a reminder of why they must not be voted in come November.

 

how convenient.

here's an idea...

"go out and win an election"...

 

LOL this judge wasnt even conservative a moderate at most the leftist know that too they are making him out to be judge roy bean, so they can go more libreal left with there judges in the future

 

Pathetic, really pathetic.. If you cannot win then change the rules

 

We've been in contact with China lately and we're told they have a much more sophisticated method for 'medling in elections' than Putin has. We're now just negotiating our costs. There will be a test run next month for the mid-terms and if it works successfully we'll sew up the deal with China.

 

Packing the court would only be possible by controlling government (i.e., winning elections).

 

They don't play by the rules. But they expect everyone else to.

 

The rules are whatever the majority says they are. The GOP were the ones who changed the rules for SCOTUS filibusters.

 

I have a better suggestion for them, that sounds a lot like "duck off and fry"...

Hillary cheated and still lost and the consequences for our country of been monumental. The hypocrisy from the left wing in all of these is astounding.

 

Allied with an oppressive communist regime.

This is me not surprised.

 

Actually, it's the Banana Republic Option for the Supreme Court.

The "progressive" trash that came up with this plan might think it's a good idea but after Democrats got massacred for this Republicans would just follow suit.

 

Yep, our communist regime against trump's communist regime. We'll see who wins.

 

All of their dirty tricks and we still won:



The FBI needs to launch an investigation into who leaked Dr. Ford to the press.

 

Is China going to help America elect nationalist that love America and want to play hardball with China, or Democrats who hate America and want to sell the American people out to china?

 

Democrats should have thought about that before they pulled this stunt:

Schumer regrets Dems triggering 'nuclear option'

They were warned but they did it anyway.

Behold Harry Reid's legacy...

 

I suppose it didn't occur to the liberals that if mr Trump decided to use their option now.......LOL

 

This is what the democrats have been reduced to: Interrupting peoples lives and physical threats of violence if we don't obey their mob rule.

It's really funny how you can attack Democrats for considering doing exactly what Republicans just did in the past week. Republicans refused to even consider Obama's nominee--holding off any discussion or processing whatever, until Trump became President. Then they rammed his approval thru regardless of the opposition. McConnell gave a speech advocating precisely the same goal for Republicans that you attack Democrats for here. I guess for you, anything Republicans do is OK, while NOTHING Democrats do is acceptable. Double standard. Nuts.

 

The point is, if both sides are changing the rules when they're in power, why should anyone A) expect the dems NOT to pack the court and B) complain about it?

 

Oh, I know why they say they did it, but do you think the GOP really needed any excuses to get rid of the the filibuster? They would have done it regardless of the what the Dems did, and vice-versa.

 

The Supreme Court expansion plot would be enacted if Democrats retake Congress and the presidency in 2020, according to the plan.

That’s part of the plan

 

McConnell went 'nuclear' to confirm Gorsuch. But Democrats changed Senate filibuster rules first.

Maybe so, but the Democrats got the ball rolling.

 

Read it again, and this time pay attention to the word "SCOTUS". What the Dems did had nothing to do with Supreme Court judges. The GOP changed that because they desperately wanted to get someone on the Court, and it's entirely on them.

 

I did, see where my post changed?
