    Might as well! We can't have representatives proposing legal changes in accordance with the Constitution when we don't like the those changes. It's not like we have the power to vote and have our voices heard.

    We don’t have a voice when they steal elections by massive mail in voter fraud. Hence the frustrations boiling over in January.

    Right, right. Interesting that no judge anywhere, including on Trump's thorough packed Supreme Court, agreed with any of the fraud allegations, and it's funny how those accusers could never quite manage to produce evidence of it, and how Newsmax, Fox News and others have had to issue apologies for lying about electoral fraud in the meantime.

    I support it being equalized.
    trump adding more partisan conservatives is the opposite of equalization

    If I never voted I would not have had a ballot in my mailbox. I had to request it be sent to me. And to do that I had to provide personal information that you would not know. And then once I got it I filled it out and included more personal information to make sure it was me. Then when I mailed it back I could track each step from being delivered to being accepted to being processed.

    That is why most of my friends on the left did not like him. He is seen as far too moderate.

    Unethical actions are not competence.
    His actions have destabilized trust in the court. If you are cheering that on then you absolutely have a “team”

    Damn, that man has been busy as ****. He did all of that plus all the other things he has done. At this point in his term all Trump had done was golf and hold his first reelection rally.

    Let us know how that works out for you.
    Maybe y’all will get further than smearing feces on the Capitol walls this time.

    Don't forget throwing the American flag on the ground so they could put up a Trump flag. If that does not say "I love America" I do not know what does...:banana::banana:

    Well yeah, Biden's taken to his role as an authoritarian dictator really impressively. It's almost like democratic socialists had advanced knowledge of the protest turned riot, and had a plan for exploiting it afterwards. They could've have called it operation light speed but Trump already took that one.

    There is a difference between making a change for the good country versus making a change to ensure your political ideology stays in place
    If The Supreme Court gets stacked you may never get the chance to vote again hence why it says can overthrow it qhen it stops workingnfor the people

    How did all the liberal court justices vote when the SCOTUS ruled on flag burning being protected by the 1st amendment?

    I made sure to include that in a recent lyrical adaptation I did. I'll post it below:

    Please allow me to introduce myself
    I'm a man of wealth and taste
    I've been around for a long, long year
    Stole a nation's hope and dreams
    I was 'round when big the Wall fell
    And East Germany got away
    Made damn sure that Russia
    Would never be so free

    Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
    But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game

    I stuck around the Kremlin
    When I saw it was a time for no change
    Became a Czar and the President
    As the nation hoped and prayed
    Controlled the news and the narrative
    As Georgia burned and the Kursk crew stank

    Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, oh yeah
    But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game, ah yeah

    I laughed with glee when U.S. patriots
    Stormed the state and raised an asset's flag
    I joked about a stroll and stability
    When, after all, it was due to me
    Let me please introduce myself
    I'm a man of wealth and taste
    And I've ordered hits on journalists
    To send a message and pave my way

    Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, oh yeah
    But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game, ah yeah

    Just as every cop is a criminal
    And all the sinners saints
    As heads is tails, just call me Vladimir
    'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
    So if you meet me, have some courtesy
    Have some sympathy, and some taste
    Use all your well-learned politesse
    Or I'll lay your home to waste, mm yeah

    Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name, mm yeah
    But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game, mmm mean it

    Get down
    Woo hoo!
    Ah yeah, get on down
    Oh yeah

    Ba bum bum, ba ba bum....

    Ah yeah
    Tell me, baby, what's my name?
    Tell me, honey, can you guess my name?
    Tell me, baby, what's my name?
    I'll tell you one time, you're to blame
    Ooo hoo, ooo hoo, oooo hoo
    All right

    Ooo hoo hoo, ooo hoo hoo, ooo hoo hoo
    Ah yeah
    Ooo hoo hoo, ooo hoo hoo

    There was nothing unethical and your claim about "destabilized trust" is ludicrous. It's just the ebb and flow of political fortune. I suggest that you consider that your opponents may feel their cause is as righteous as yours.

    Whenever an opening occurs it’s the duty of the POTUS to nominate someone. The process is left in the hands of the Senate to confirm when they decide to. That has been the process since the birth of this nation. Obviously politics will come into play during that process but this court packing is a whole new game. Or as Biden put it when he was a senator “a boneheaded idea”.

    The Republican choices haven’t exactly worked out for Trump. The SC ruled against him often. He was unable to get them to decide in his favor regarding the election. The Dems should be thankful.

    "History didn't happen"

    I'm usually pretty good about translating Leftspeak to English, but even I get stumped occasionally

    There will eventually be a distraction in which it will slip through.

    So, you are saying you base your view of throwing the flag on the ground based upon how the liberal court justices voted?

    That is a surprise coming from you. I did not realize you were such a fan of the liberal court justices.

    By beliefs are because of theirs. Had they not acted in a means to capture power against the will of the people then I would not be an advocate for such action.

    We obviously have different definitions of the word ethical.
