This is Dems telegraphing that they plan on court packing once they regain power. All because the court isn't giving the left the victories they feel entitled to.

" Are you saying Corky feels entitled?"

Absolutely. The Obama presidency brought a massive sense of political entitlement on the left and when Hillary was anointed and lost in 2016 too much of the left lost their collective minds.

" How can they do that? "

They tried it in 2021. They needed to first nuke the filibuster but only had 50 Senate seats (VP Harris would have been the tie breaker). Manchin and Synema were opposed and both are gone now. The only vocal opposition the such a blatant power grab is Fetterman.

So with a slim House majority, 50 Senate seats and the WH this is what they already tried:

Nuke the filibuster
Add at least 4 SCOTUS seats with activist leftist judges (Kagan becomes a bit of a wild card here, so maybe add judges).
With the court being a rubber stamp, add DC and Puerto Rico as states given Dems 4 more Senators.
Again, with the court as a rubber stamp, create a national voting law that strips away most voting integrity protections.

Every thing I just mentioned was seriously attempted at the beginning of Biden's term.

The way I see it, all they need to accomplish these things is: 51 Senate seats, the slimmest House majority and the WH. Fetterman won't sign on but he is likely the only one.

A lot of lefties on this site try to vote shame. It's a beloved tactic. The bullet points in #11 are EXACTLY why I will oppose Democrats for the foreseeable future. That is an absolute destruction of this country and it's something that will happen at lightning speed with the slimmest of majorities.

We can always expect----------- LGH to humiliate himself. It's become a DR staple.

Zed,

You don't even understand what Stare Decisis is. Previous rulings are not absolute under it.

JPW,

You are an immature toad and your opinions on most topics are not to be taken remotely seriously. You just throw a tantrum when you don't get your way.

And how in the heck does this stupid thread topic warrant a banner? Terrible site management.

What a bunch of unprincipled hacks. Good God, the American left sucks so bad these days.

Seriously? I didn't know that.

JPW,

Break time is over. Get back to the middle stall.

My response was appropriate to your BS.

It's a BS talking point. A bribe is a 2.way street. Zero evidence has ever been produced that Thomas engaged in any quid pro quo. He complied with all disclosure rules as they existed at the time of his friend's generosity.

All you have is libelous talking points.

" Supreme Court that has such contempt for both the Constitution and stare decisis"

You call yourself a retired lawyer? What an ignorant comment.
