Surely thatis a case of shutting the gate after the horse has bolted? The USA SC has already been packed after the refusal to hold a hearing into Obama’s nomination of Garland and the “unholy haste” to appoint a replacement for RBG.
I don’t specifically have an ask. I just don’t care. McConnell made the play that pleased his side, and the only thing that matters for the Supreme Court is holding the senate and getting re-elected while holding a seat open until the same side has the presidency. Could be one year, two, three, four, eight. Doesn’t matter as long as you don’t lose the senate majority in the process.
It is not reasonable to have the belief that the founding fathers of the USA would have considered it appropriate that a President’s nomination to the SC would not have had a Senate hearing to consider that nomination.
Expanding it seems like it will end up with 1000 judges dialing in their votes on their phones like a game show. I’m not sure what a good solution is, it’s just too much of a coveted partisan prize to be seen as above it all.
And how a chunk feel about the basement of a pizza shop. Mitch held the supreme court seat open because he could, no Kraken has to be released to prove my distrust.
How does Mitch’s maneuver make you distrust the Court? The Justices had nothing to do with it, and everyone on the Court was duly appointed by a President and vetted and approved by Congress in complete accordance with the Constitution. I think you are letting your politics get the best of your imagination.
