Their low-info idiotic consumers don’t know what it means so now if you confirm your party’s nominee, it’s “packing the court.”

Trump needs to ask Biden in the next debate if he’s in favor of adding more justice to SCOTUS beyond the current panel of 9.

    Talking point all morning. Lie to the masses about what “court packing” is, and also, this basically confirms the Communists will add seats to SCOTUS if they can, and if internal polling shows it doesn’t destroy their shit party. Tell a lie often enough...

    Coons says that confirming Barrett 'constitutes court-packing,' Sasse responds that's 'obviously' incorrect

    The informed centrist in me acknowledges that it’s a clear attempt by the left to redefine “court packing,” it’s mildly clever, but I’m curious for how many this is a critical issue.

    I remember taking basic US civics in public school. They told us about the three co-equal branches of our representative government that came from this written document called the US Constitution. Destroying the Supreme Court based on a congressional vote seems like a critical issue to me. I also remember that FDR was heavily criticized for just talking about it, let alone doing it. Scratch a leftist, find a fascist.

    That guy lost in my district in 2010.

    He sure as hell should be bothered. Maybe that's why he lost...

    Blatant lying and straight up propaganda is "mildly clever." Moderate my fucking ass.
    As The Throbber keeps saying - this propaganda worked in 1930 when communications were print and radio controlled.

    Within seconds, every statist/leftist hit piece is debunked by the interwebs.

    The voters ain't buying it.

    Sadly, not as many kids take civics now as they should, otherwise they may feel the same way. As a centrist, I’m not wild on increasing the number of justices. It’ll just go back and forth over the decades until there are 51 justices on the SCOTUS.

    I think the confirmation of ACB is a hotter button issue than court packing for many.

    Tug Centrists defense of Biden in light of everything we now know to be true is breathtaking.

    "Sadly, not as many kids take civics now as they should ..."

    Geezus, you post this as if the kids are making a conscious decision not to take a civics class. The only conscious choice is the decision to not teach a classic civics course to our kids to allow them to be critically thinking functioning citizens. The people who are for indoctrinating our kids that America is racist and liberty and freedom are tools of oppression, and that oppression is a tool for equality are the people you vote for. You love being a tool and a sheep. I don't.

    Untrue. It should be taught in schools.

    You support the side that removed civics instruction from schools.

    "Not wild" if you were an actual centrist you'd be against this vehemently as a form of extremism that will erode our democracy. Fuck off.

    But I did say I was against it, as a centrist.
