Too funny.

We spent 4+ years with Democrats being upset with how things played out in the Supreme Court. The main argument being even if technically legal, it’s unfair, not American and gives too much power to the opposing party. The Republicans responded with “elections matter” and it’s all within the rule of law.

Now we have Republicans upset over the potential of expanding the Supreme Court. The main argument being even if technically legal, it’s unfair, not American and gives too much power to the opposing party. The Democrats respond with “elections matter” and it’s all within the rule of law.

Politics never change.

@STODR

So you want more laws because you refuse to grow a pair and report people committing a felony?

We need to have a country where ghost purchases are not needed. Aka stricter guns laws in other states.

@SixFoot

They’re scared of any 2A cases reaching a sane court.

Confiscation will be on the table with whatever court they pack.

That undoubtedly will be a litmus test for new appointees.

And does not make known

It’s on the books.

There are a lot of laws still on the books that are no longer enforced.

The statute requires an affirmative act of concealment, in addition to not reporting it to a judge.

But can be.

Easy case to make.

Who changed the senate? Who open that door?

And there it is.

@Guilds

@conan

I’m far more “liberal” then you are. And that’s a fact.

Nope.

You are far more Libertarian. If we use modern terms.

If you want to use 18th century terms…sure, you are a liberal…if you lived then.

Not now.

Making up philosophies.

I forgot. Each side thinks they are unique or special in their concerns when in fact they are not. Thanks for the reminder.

@biggestal99

and have direct knowledge

@biggestal99

I have facts.

@TheDoctorIsIn what does “direct knowledge” mean in Legalandia?

[WuWei]

@SottoVoce

No. Regardless of side. What McConnell and even Reid before him did was change the Senate, manipulate the Senate to get an outcome.

Packing the Court is changing the Court, manipulating the Court.

Huge difference.

If you “ghost purchase” a “ghost gun”, is it like crossing the streams?

What the Democrats are proposing…

Especially when taken along of eliminating the filibuster in the senate which was openly discussed by the collection of lunatics at that presentation this week, has nothing to do with “fairness” and everything to do with completely changing our institutions.

They want to turn the Supreme Court into a SuperLegisature to rubber stamp all their crazy ideas. They want to redefine the Senate into just another version of the House, and then pack it with Senators from WA Dc (DC statehood is unconstitutional but whatever…we’ll have a 7-6 majority on the court so it’s cool!).

The legacy of this current crop of kook fringe libs is the redefinition of things.

Racism is now- “you disagree with us”
Infrastructure is now- “everything and everyone”
Police and all Caucasian people are now “white Supremacists”
Court packing is now - “the legal act of a President filling judicial vacancies”.
The Supreme Court should now be a “Super Legisture, no where close to its original purpose”.

There are millions of Americans who are completely disinterested in living in the country the kook fringe left is trying to create.

[Medicswife2002]

There’s a poster claiming factual knowledge about and observations of felonies yet never reported any to the authoriries; effectually concealing the crimes.

That doesn’t sound legal.

@SottoVoce

Politics never change.

Agreed. The will to power never changes. Having said that, the willingness to cross lines does. And escalation inevitably follows because you gave me a rationalization.

I disagree.

On one hand you have a controlling party manipulating the appointment process (legally) to limit court appointments of an opposing party while maximizing theirs. On another you have a controlling party using a legal process to increase the number of court appointments. Both are legal and both have the same outcome - maximizing the number of court appointments.

I understand. One the one hand you have the Senate manipulating Senate rules to impact appointments.

On the other you have the Senate manipulating the actual SCOTUS.

Huge escalation.

I don’t disagree with much of what you have said. At least I agree those are understandably how many of those things can be interpreted. My main contention is that this is politics as usual. When have we ever been in a time in which one party didn’t feel wronged by the other? When did one party ever feel like the other party wasn’t escalating things out of proportion? Subjectively people will nearly always say the current situation is worse but that is recency bias.

This is politics. Dems feel outrage and share end of the world stories when they are not in control. Republicans are doing the same thing now.

Yes it’s politics.

IMHO this does in fact qualify as very dangerous politics. The political left is trying to manipulate our politics in a way that would allow them to institutionalize actions that they either could not get passed thru the normal legislative process or at the ballot box.

I ve watched a lot of politics in my life…I’ve never watched a group of people so hellbent on completely changing the country the way these folks are.

[Rodeo]

I ve said more than once…this current crop if Democrats is, Imho…

The most significant threat to American freedom and liberty of my lifetime.
