I know this is hard for you...but I never said Trump.
And apparently you missed the Republicans refusing to even vote for a SC pick as it was too close to the election....then doing so far closer to the next one?
Please. You arent that unaware are you?
I’ve pointed this out a few times regarding the refusal to confirm or hear on Garland. But I’ll say it again.
In that case Obama was out the door no matter what. It was the last year of his second term. Regardless who won the election, he was out the door. It made total sense to wait for whoever won that election to be able to appoint and fill that seat. Had it been Hillary, she would have filled the seat, either with Garland as Obama wanted, or with a liberal leaning judge of her own choosing. President Trump won so he filled the seat.
In the case of Barrett, it was still President Trumps first term. Had he won, he would have filled that seat anyway with her. She was the perfect choice to replace that crazy old bat Ginsberg anyway. And had the dems really been so concerned, she could and should have retired while Obama was still in office and he could have replaced her. Instead the old crow decided to try and cling to life as long as she could out of spite. That was her choice.
Oh noes! Those dirty Democrats watched the Republicans shatter all the norms and violate the intent of the constitution.......and now theyre thinking about acting like Republicans!
Oh noes! I need my fainting couch at hand!
Seriously folks-when you back your side doing stuff like this, you should not be surprised when the other side does similar things.
like the peaceful protest on Jan 6 at the Capitol?
If they move forward with the court packing thing we red states should declare an intent to secede from the union if they do. This should be a red line not to be crossed. We need to say to them cross this line and the union is done. That way they at least understand what the consequences of their actions are.
Of course we know that much of the leftist agenda is unconstitutional so the fact that they plan to stack the court is not surprising. They plan to remake America and they need the court neutralized to do it.
The group behind this is called Demand Justice headed by an ex aide to Chuck Schummer NY. The group's current henchmen appear to be Reps Ed Markey Mass and Mondaire Jones NY.
Or will this end up like many government projects... a bunch of money and resources thrown at favored friends and donors for awhile, and nothing really produced?
The debate over Supreme Court reform continued Wednesday as a White House commission heard testimony on a broad range of reform proposals, including adding seats to the court, shrinking its influence, increasing its transparency, and limiting the tenure of the justices. The all-day hearing was the second meeting of the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States, a bipartisan, 36-member commission that Biden appointed in response to calls from some Democrats to expand the size of the court. The commission is tasked with studying potential reforms and submitting a report to the president this fall.
RBG, the most liberal SCOTUS member ever, disapproves.
Yes, she said as much.
