Heck ya, can't let that radical rabble of a Republican mob rule take power back. 

 

 

Mob rule = majority rule.

 

Which we are not.  

 

That is what the Founders who's names are being removed from schools your kids are no longer allowed to go to intended when they created a checks and balances Republic.

It has zero chance of passing.  Which makes me wonder what the political play is here?

My guess is the commissions job will be to figure out if there is some other way. 
 

I can’t believe this is just a political sideshow. Everything the democrats are doing and I mean EVERYTHING is a very deliberate effort to lock in the imbalance of power.

Some have suggested a recommendation of term or age limits for Supreme Court justices which a lot of lawmakers might get behind.  Personally, I could entertain the idea as long as the changes are extended include term limits for members of the House and Senate.

At the QAnon forum for smart people, we have constructive discussions that don't resemble the banter of a child that was given a Twitter account and told to go troll.  

 

Same question for you.  

 

What do you think this *commission* lol found that 4 more judges are necessary?  What went wrong the last 50 years that made 9 judges insufficient?

 

Desegregation?

Gay marriage?

Abortion?

Obamacare?  

 

Total failure I guess.  

Yes...and those were all "liberal" decisions.....and went with overwhelming public sentiment...and history has proven them to be popular decisions

 

OTOH The repeal of the VRA of 1965 and the Citizens United decision - both of which overturned massively bipartition legislation and fit the definition of "activist" judging and were both "conservative" ....and both are horribly regarded by most

What's comical about the voter rights issue is the left thinks Republicans are working to suppress the voter rights of legitimate voters and the right think Democrats are working to ignore and eliminate voter verification requirements in order to allow anyone and everyone to vote regardless of their ability to meet legal requirements like being registered or citizens. 

 

What this all reminds me of is a quote which says "there's three sides to every story.  Yours, mine, and the truth".

Signs of Democrat desperation as legislators bypass Biden's commission and plan to introduce court-packing legislation today

By Thomas Lifson

 

 

Why have a group of congressional Democrats symbolically flipped the bird to "the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States" that President Biden created by executive order only six days ago?   Andrea Widburg has an excellent blog on these pages today on the announcement and its place in the broader plan of the Dems to alter the institutional framework of governance so as to ensure permanent Democrat majorities.

 

That group of purported "experts" appointed by Biden's executive order was stacked to likely yield a result congenial to expanding the Court so as to hand a rubber-stamp majority to the Dems, as Bloomberg reported:

 

The commission skews left, with progressives holding a 3:1 ratio to conservatives, according the Ilya Shapiro, of the libertarian Cato Institute think tank.

 

The panel also leans heavily on professors, with just a handful of members whose experience isn't primarily in legal or political academics. Moreover, approximately 80% are graduates or otherwise affiliated with just two schools — Harvard and Yale.

{snip}

 

 

So what's up?  Why not wait 180 days for the fig leaf presidential commission to bolster the flimsy case?

 

I can think of two possible reasons, which are not mutually exclusive.

 

One is the incredible narrowness of the Democrats' control of Congress.  The Senate is tied 50-50, so only Kamala Harris's tiebreaker vote as V.P. gives the Dems the ability to pass legislation — if the filibuster is not invoked or if it is repealed.  In the 435-member House, Nancy Pelosi can only lose two Democrat votes if she wants to pass legislation, so narrow is her majority.

 

The prospects of holding on to the support of all Democrat senators and House members 180 days from now (i.e., half a year closer to the 2022 election) are not good, considering the escalating crisis on the border, which is a matter of grave and ongoing concern across the country.  Add in the possibility of a military crisis overseas as Russia masses troops near Ukraine and China makes escalating threats against Taiwan and expansionist moves in the South China Sea.

 

So it might be that the Democrats jumping the gun see this particular moment as possibly their last chance to remove the Supreme Court as a check on their ability to govern tyrannically.

 

The second possibility relates to an already established pattern of Democrat legislative legerdemain: abuse of the budget reconciliation process to bypass the filibuster, which Senators Manchin and Sinema both swear they will protect.  

 

 

All in all, the Democrats seem desperate, as if they see their last chance to hold onto power possibly slipping from their grasp unless they change what amounts to the rules of the game right away, while they still have the narrowest possible majority and a senescent president still holding onto office.

 

Were it not for the fully propagandistic role of the major media supporting them, the public would already have turned against them with fury for the incompetence of Biden's first three months in office and the unleashing of racialist mobs.  With public approval of the media roughly at the level of used car salesmen, that media cofferdam will not hold against the public through November 2022.  It is now or never, I believe a growing number of Democrats believe.

 

They are going for broke.  It's our job to make sure they fail and do go broke, politically.

By the way, don't forget Joe's response back in October about "packing the court"

 

Biden says voters ‘don’t deserve’ his stance on packing Supreme Court

 

joe-biden-7.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=6

 

Voters don’t “deserve” to know Joe Biden’s stance on packing the Supreme Court, the Democratic nominee said this week.

 

In a prickly interview with a Las Vegas news station Friday, the Biden doubled down on his refusal to say whether he supports  expanding the highest court in the land to more than nine justices.

 

“This is the number one thing that I’ve been asked about from viewers in the last couple of days,” began KTNV’s Ross DiMattei.

 

“Well, you’ve been asked by the viewers who are probably Republicans,” Biden sarcastically responded.

 

“Don’t the voters deserve to know where you stand on …” DiMattei continued.

 

“No, they don’t deserve,” Biden snapped. “I’m not going to play his game.”

Hahahahahaha.

 

 

Well apparently today's theatrics were just to try and pacify the extremists.

 

Pelosi Says She Has “No Plans” to Bring Nadler’s Bill to Expand Supreme Court by Four Seats to House Floor (VIDEO)

What she means is she doesn't have the votes to pass it.

But now they feel they need to change it because Trump put a few in there.

I'm sorry but what does this even mean?  Are all these "voter suppression" Bills being offered up by Republicans?  What makes all these Bills suppressive?  Again feels couched as facts.

I understand them feeling screwed over and unlucky.  Packing it isn't the answer though and they don't have the votes anyways.  The focus should really should be pressuring Breyer to retire.

 

Screwed over??  In what way?

LMAO?  I'm glad to bring a smile to your face.  But I've come to learn that my liberal friends have no sense of humor and find nothing funny about any type of comedy as the concepts of comedy are offensive to them.  It reminds me of the worst business idea ever.  Woke comedy club!

I don't know what he meant by that.  I assume he thinks that all people are casting legitimate votes?  Or that an illegitimate votes don't exist?   

 

Oh and BTW I lived in the Bay Area for nearly 10 years and you are absolutely correct.  Sense of humor is not high on their list.

Oh, I wasn't sure what you meant by legitimate voters and more importantly, who defines it.  

 

I just assumed you meant something else like the rest of your friends:

 

 

Republicans say ignorant people shouldn't vote. I say go for it, starting with your own.

White guilt libs I know were the first people that came to my mind how is that Jim Crow?

 

 

Why did you assume Blacks were not "quality" votes (knowledgeable).  

 

Now that's racist.

If we want to look at low information voters it seems to come more from the right as well. Just look at this thread we had a poster not know who ended the SCOTUS filibuster and another think Trump never broke a campaign promise.

 

Were a small sample but the left posters here seems to not get basic facts wrong like we see our fellow righties for.

What if you’re in a voting booth and get crossed up on who you want to vote for?


Just let all Americans vote. Why would a minority party be afraid of having more people vote? Oh....

This particular phrasing is often over used. All congressional and presidential candidates make campaign 'promises', but we all know they're actually promises to 'try' to get something done. They are not promises to actually make something happen. With our system of checks and balances it is very hard to promise to make things happen. Especially big things.

What misinformation? The Republicans are a minority party in the US. They’re not the silent majority they love to scream they are.

Except there’s one party that lives on it, I would say they thrive on it. Just look at Obamacare. Remember the lies spread by the right about death panels? The past election and lies about how it was stolen? There’s a reason misinformation works and that’s due to a poorly educated electorate. We saw the 2016 and 2020 election where poorly educated people went for Trump.

The misinformation is saying that anyone doesn’t want people to vote. 
 

Just stop. “Poorly educated” has nothing to do with knowledge of the issues.  You’re coming across as some coastal elite. There is plenty enough idiocy to go around.
