Democrats Threaten To Pack Supreme Court

[wetwrks]

The SCOTUS doesnt need more judges.

They just need judges that will judge by the rule of law and stop legislating from the bench IE Roe vs Wade.

Rule of law...they need to quit holding to revisionist history...and hold to the constitution and our constitutional rights.

That is one tactic the Democrats could use.

But remember, there is no set number of Chief Justices for the Supreme court. Throughout the history, there have been as few as 6 and as many as 11. 9 is just a number that was settled on but not set in stone.

Furthermore, this would not be an issue if back in 2016, that the senate Republicans hadn't closed ranks only to deny a valid candidate 9 months before the election, while now is 6 weeks before another election. With all the various seantors stating precident for allowing the people to choose the President & Justice, it would only be fair for the same to be applied now. But since Trump & the Republicans feel that they must grasp at every straw of power, do not expect things to go smoothly just because one side is challenging the impropriety of words/promises said, and the apparent fast track of the nomination.

Actually...every time the Senate and President were of the same party and a Supreme Court Judge needed to be replaced within the last year of that President they have gotten replaced...this is true for BOTH parties. This is nothing new nor is it just a Republican thing. And...it is not unusual when the Senate and President are of different parties for the Supreme Court Judge to be delayed or denied...again true of both parties. You act as if only the Republicans have done this. Wrong.

This Democrat packing of the Supreme Court isn't a recent threat...I have been hearing rumblings of this for a few years.

I have mentioned it before...you need to get your head out of the sand and look around at the world and not just listen to what the media feeds you.

So...the Democrats have been talking for a while now about expanding the number of Justices on the Supreme Court so they can choose and pack it with liberal judges that will rule as the Democrats want.

Well...if the Supreme Court needs more Judges...perhaps the Republicans need to go ahead and expand the number of judges and fill it now.
