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

Pretty sure the majority is neither rep or dem
Hence its one minority dominating another pretty muchh

 

Lots of lefties talking about it aj.

 

How many lower court justices were denied?

 

The majority of people are less conservative than the republican majority we have in congress. Part of the vicious divide is the age old "Taxation without representation."

The republican leadership and local leaders are very good at framing expanded rights for some as an infringement of rights for others. That's how they frame their narrative and win elections.

 

Moving the goal posts?

 

No, it's a lump sum total. Garland was denied, and countless other judges, by Mitch McConnell ensuring their minority representated party could commandeer the courts and ensure their ideological jurisprudence would be installed regardless of the majority opinion.

McConnell is a rat son of a bitch, a slimey weasel and a POS.

 

Pure, unadulterated BS.

 

Surely, then, he would not take issue with Trump adding two more conservative justices, right now.

 

Elections have consequences.
One of those consequences is the GOP having control of the Senate, now, and in 2016.
As a result, the Democrats had to ride in the back.

 

Lol identity politics is the lefts baby.

Plus lefties tell me im a bitter clinger and a deplorable.

If you are over 40, you will probably never see a liberal scotus again.

 

Maybe so, but so is Schumer, Pelosi, Waters, Jackson, Feinstein, and a few others.

 

It wouldn't last long enough to be useful. If the GOP tried that, the Obama voters that stayed home in 2016 won't stay home again. Hell, they're not going to stay home for the next 20 years, so all this is moot. Demographics is destiny and the Dems will benefit.

 

Your "source" is the Trumpischer Boerbachter, which is not a reliable source for any sort of useful information. Quoting obscure activists and academics as "evidence" of a large scale "plot" is the kind of dishonest rumormongering that is their stock in trade. They know that their audience will swallow anything they feed them as long as it's served up with fake outrage.

 

Ah. So the left -would- take exception to the GOP doing exactly what this guy suggests the left does.
Another example of the left changing the rules, and then getting upset when the rules are changed on them.

 

Since he is no doubt consistent, he must be fine with it.

 

I did NOT write the quote you attribute to me in your post.

 

Both sides do this.

The hypocrisy on the Right, though, is staggering. Had any other President said he "fell in love" with a murderous dictator who wrote him "beautiful letters" the impeachment hearings would have begun that day. The Evengelical community's sell-out to one of the most corrupt and anti-Christian men ever, is awe-inspiring. I've never seen a group of people completely abandon their moral principles so quickly before. I can't begin to imagine the mental contortions Christians have to go through to justify supporting someone like Trump.

 

Describe for us the hypocrisy on the left.

 

I'm very much aware of that fact. I'm just tired of the increasing polarization spreading thru politics & America today. I support the return of civility all around. I'm a hard-core liberal, but I'm willing to seek middle ground compromise with conseratives who will respect an alternative point of view & still work with the person for common ground.

 

Sounds to me like you need to get your friends to tone down their rhetoric.

 

Court packing is easily defeated along the lines of checks and balances ie separation of powers. The Democrat legislative agenda heavily relies on the courts. If a Democrat President and the Democrat controlled legislative body tried to stack Justices in order to bolster its power this would be a blatant attempt the circumvent the purpose of Articles 1, 2, and 3. The existing Supreme Court would have more than sufficient grounds to strike down an attempt by the Executive and Legislative branches to usurp power from the Judicial branch. It would fail and the Democrats would appear tyrannical for having attempted it. But that likely wont stop them from campaigning on the notion as a avenue of "revenge" for their voters.

 

If a law wasn’t broke, why?

 

It is perfectly legal to change the number of justices. It's been done before.

 

Indeed. That's why Trump said today if the Dems take the house, he plans to increase the number by 4 before the end of the year.

 

The point is Democrats went nuclear, Republicans responded in kind and Democrats don't like it. If Democrats don't like it, then Democrats should stop changing the rules.
