She never said she would never bring it to a vote. Right now she wants to spend money like a drunken sailor on shore leave without the distraction of this.
She said it’s not out of the question, and is being looked into.
Don’t try to ■■■■■■■■ people that this is dead. It’s just on the back burner because they can’t afford the bad publicity this will give them while they are busy with other things they want first.
The people telling you to trust Pelosi to not bring it to a vote EVER are the same people that were saying months ago it would NEVER get THIS far (where we are now).
It always swings back the other way, regardless of how hard they try, if anything and event will happen like covid or a financial crisis and those in power will be the ones that get the blame.
Trump was cruising to a second term before covid who knows what the country will be like by 2023. It could be wonderful or the opposite no one has a crystal ball.
We are busy ramming through this other ■■■■ right now…
I support the president’s commission to study such a proposal, but frankly I’m not — right now, we’re back, our members, our committees are working. We’re putting together the infrastructure bill and the rest,"
But don’t worry. We are still considering it, just not until we finish bleeding the country dry first.
“It’s not out of the question. It has been done before in the history of our country a long time ago. And the growth of our country, the size of our country, the growth of our challenges in terms of the economy, etc., might necessitate such a thing.”
I don’t think they have that authority. That said, I don’t think it’s a good idea anyhow. Kinda like releasing the kraken for real. The repercussions could be disastrous, and I mean in the long run when it’s time for payback.
USSC Justices interpret the law and form their opinions either for or against. As I understand someone will have to present the case before the Court and let the nines do their thing.
Packing the Supreme Court would pretty much releas…set the political mode for the judiciary for the future. If Democrats add 4 new judges in 2022, what do you thing Republicans would do if the had the House, Senate and Presidency in 2024? You’re right, of course they would. And they had that control in 2017 but didn’t use it.
As Breyer said, the judicial system becomes completely mixed into the political system and will loose all credibility.
But there’s a whole slew full of the left that point to the SC ruling in their favor in the past on another topic in the news right now on a topic the govt is forbidden from meddling in, and claiming that makes it OK.
