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.

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.

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.

"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.

Why do you pretend you’re a centrist?
