    ...isn't Biden beating Trump, it's that the Dems look likely to win the Senate as well. Can you imagine what is about to happen with unified socialist government? Court packing, massive tax hikes, energy dependence again, millions of job losses, National Firearms Database...the list goes on and on...

    Scary tim for sure. Help us ACB, you're our only hope...

    Also gonna need the Conservative Supremes to all stay alive for the next 4 years. Lose one and it's back to a lib court because that fag Roberts votes with the libs on everything. Bush fucked that appointment up beyond belief.
    They're going to pack the court so their lives will be irrelevant.
    I tend to not believe that. The Dems are dumb, but doing that loses them at least one chamber of Congress in 2022, and probably the Presidency in 2024. That policy is wildly unpopular with voters.
    I don't think the Dems GAF what is popular with voters.

    They're out for blood.
    The GOP played dirty to get ACB in there. Winners win but yeah DNC is going to retaliate for that move. Im not a fan of the current DNC talking points to pack the courts which is basically just adding justices carte blanche.

    Buttigieg had an interesting proposal to depoliticise the process which I guess could still fall under the umbrella of court packing given the current balance. GOP gets 5 justices. DNC gets 5 justices. This initial allotment does not change. Those initial 10 justices appoint 5 more. 15 justices in total. This was floated well before RBG/ACB.
    The GOP didn't do anything wrong to get ACB in there. They followed the law and decades of precedent.

    They played real dirty to get Gorsuch in there.

    The GOP used existing rules to nominate and vote in favor of a Supreme Court Justice

    Nothing dirty about it at all

    Thanks to Harry Reid it was possible. Maybe the dems can change some more stuff that blows up in their face
    And that was Gorsuch not ACB.

    Butt yes Harry Reid bears a lot of the blame for this.

    I don't know why the dems care anyway, 81% of conservative justices aren't conservative and the GOP lets everyone the dems nominate in. Except Garland but still

    The liberal wing is lockstep on everything. No one ever wanders

    People forget that the Supreme Court isn't supposed to be about equal party representation. That's a big part of the problem today

    Harry got rid of the filibuster. The dems could have run out the clock before this election rather easily

    Not dirty, just to the echo of the whistle.

    I suppose I like Petey's plan because it will never happen. Court expansion is possible under current law. By taking 5 nominations away from the President & Senate, that would require an Amendment.

    Say you want to be a judge that interprets the law as written and suddenly you are an alt-right nazi partisan who is a threat to the constitution.

    Fucking retards walking around thinking that the court is supposed to act as a partisan super legislature of philosopher kings.

    Never mind that the number of "right wing" activists on the court is currently zero... imagine if there were a few conservative justices ruling on things like RBG

    The playing dirty is setting a precedent that if you control congress you delay or expedite court appointments until you get your guy into the executive office. It's supposed to be an apolitical office.

    Playing dirty is not hearing an appointment for Garland on the grounds that it was an election year and then ramming through ACB a month before the election. I never said that it was against the rules but it was massively hypocritical.

    "GOP played dirty to get ACB in there."

    Nothing dirty occurred

    "GOP gets 5 justices. DNC gets 5 justices."

    Things that people propose who have no understanding of the judicial branch.
    Ok then explain to me why it's a terrible idea.

    2016 Obama was a democrat, the Senate was controlled by republicans

    2020 Trump is a Republican, the senate was controlled by republicans

    This isn't complicated
    And Harry Reid ditched filibuster for expediency.

    Mitch didn't need to give any reason not to hold a vote on Garland. Nor did he need to wait on ACB.

    Hypocrisy is a meaningless charge in politics.

    Kavanaugh got treated dirty. So did Thomas. And Bork

    Shit happens

    Thanks to Harry Reid it was possible. Maybe the dems can change some more stuff that blows up in their face
    The playing dirty is setting a precedent that if you control congress you delay or expedite court appointments until you get your guy into the executive office. It's supposed to be an apolitical office.

    Playing dirty is not hearing an appointment for Garland on the grounds that it was an election year and then ramming through ACB a month before the election. I never said that it was against the rules but it was massively hypocritical.
    Mitch didn't need to give any reason not to hold a vote on Garland. Nor did he need to wait on ACB.

    Hypocrisy is a meaningless charge in politics.

    Kavanaugh got treated dirty. So did Thomas. And Bork

    Shit happens
    Agree!
