Methinks Meathead needs to brush up on the definition of "representative democracy": What is the definition of representative democracy? Freebase(3.78 / 9 votes)Rate this definition: Representative democracy. Representative democracy is a variety of democracy founded on the principle of elected officials representing a group of people, as opposed to direct democracy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 On 10/6/2018 at 4:23 PM, Doc Brown said: Prediction: If Democrats retake all three branches they will increase the number of Supreme Court Justices to give them a majority citing McConnell's refusal to hold a vote on Garland as the betrayal of 150 years of an unspoken agreement between the parties of the Supreme Court appointment process. It's already being brought up as an option..... https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/brett-kavanaugh-s-confirmation-means-democrats-won-t-trust-supreme-ncna917456 The idea that Kavanaugh will work as a consensus-restoring wound healer is absolutely ludicrous to anyone who knows anything about his history. He’s a long-time Republican operative who spent millions of dollars investigating discredited conspiracy theories while serving under Ken Starr’s investigation of the Clintons. His record on the D.C. Circuit, contrary to Collins’s disingenuous attempts to portray him as a moderate, is extremely and consistently conservative. And at his final appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, he delivered an angry partisan rant (complete with imaginary conspiracy theories about the Clintons) while treating the Democratic senators on the committee with open contempt. Placing an open Republican partisan who was also credibly accused of attempted sexual assault on the Supreme Court may well be the beginning of the end of a political dynamic that has been very favorable to the Republican Party. On one hand, the Supreme Court has become increasingly conservative, issuing decisions that have eviscerated the Voting Rights Act, largely eliminated the ability of state and federal governments to regulate campaigns’ finance, limited civil rights and consumer protections and attacked the rights of workers — among many other policy results desired by Republicans. A more likely scenario — especially if a Trumpified Supreme Court not only effectively overrules Roe v. Wade but then keeps striking down legislation passed by the next unified Democratic government — is expanding the size of the Supreme Court. The constitution does not fix the size of any federal appellate court, and the number of justices can be changed with simple majorities of both houses of Congress. Doing so isn’t hypothetical: After the Civil War, congressional Republicans manipulated the size of the court to ensure that it wouldn’t interfere with Reconstruction.

Another concept to keep in the back of your mind is nullification. Lefties have been theorycrafting that since Russia hacked the election and Trump lost the popular vote, his Presidency is illegitimate. Upon retaking the White House and Congress, Democrats should remove Trump's Supreme Court (and lower court) appointees. Any rulings by Trump courts are nullified.

keepthefaith Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) 10 hours ago, LSHMEAB said: Yet in the House, Dems must have a million plus margin in order to maintain control. That is fundamentally unfair. Again, I don't blame you for enjoying the fruits of the inequity. But even the house doesn't represent the will of the people. Actually there is a case to be made that some states like California are over represented in the house. The 2010 census counted illegal immigrants and there are many in California and several other states. It's utterly ridiculous that non-citizens would be counted among the voting population, and while the Trump admin is trying to make that common sense change for the 2020 census, the left is fighting to keep questions of citizenship out of the census.
