What kind of moron says this?

@DougBH

Otherwise, he has lost all moral backing…

That is a falsehood.

Packing is adding beyond 9.

@lessright

Is providing a list of future court nominees part of the qualifications to run for office?

You can start a thread on court nominees.

Since that isn’t the topic do you have anything to add to the actual topic?

@DougBH

That argument was good a year ago. In fact, it is good for the next three months.

Let’s see if libs think it’s a good idea when Trump wins again?

I can hear the yelling at the sky…rite now.

Just before the election in 2016, Schumer was asked if he would do away with the filibuster for the Supreme Court if Hillary won and the Democrats took the senate (both seemed likely at the time). He would not say yes or not. Of course, the opposite happened, and he was not on record when Republicans did the same thing.
That’s part of it

1. Packing the court doesn’t help their election chances since most don’t approve of it.
2. If worst happens (from their view) they don’t want to have provided the Republicans with a justification for doing what they want to do…

@Call_me_Ishmael

so it seems that libs here know the answer. Say it.

I honestly don’t think they care.

Oh I dunno, there’s been 9 justices since 1869.
There’s a vacancy. Article II Section II Clause II empowers the President to appoint a 9th Justice who would fill the vacancy after the advise and consent requirements by the Senate.

@FloridaYankee

He was talking about republican viewers on a right wing news show.

So what.

It’s kind of important to know what his plans are for the Supreme Court if he is elected, don’t you think?

[Call_me_Ishmael]

They will try anything to ruin our system.
That includes making the SCOTUS completely subservient to the other branchs of our government. Completely. Forget the checks and balances.

Do you? I’m not the topic.

I responded to the notion that “…this isn’t simply a packing the court question.”

Sometimes I almost hope they get what they are asking for so they can sit back and and wonder how the hell it all back fired on them.

Except I don’t want to be taken down with the idiots.

There were only 8 justices for more than a year in 2016-17.

At least he didn’t promise to show the list and then back out.

Trumpers trying to raise an issue where there is none. Desperation on parade.

I must have missed it

If Biden plans to stack the Supreme Court, then he needs to say so or he needs to deny it.

[Call_me_Ishmael]

I know what you mean. I always think of the consolation that history teaches us that those who open the doors for the marxists will soon be surprised that their feel-good opinions are not only no longer wanted but are cause to be arrested and thrown on the bonfires of revolution. It seems like justice but - as you say - we all have to suffer in that case.

@Smyrna

@Sknyluv

McConnell has already packed the court. Why y’all all shook now?

Is he playing by the rules of the past couple of hundred years or…is he deperately trying to change them for selfishly corrupt political purposes.

The second one.

Why isn’t 'We’ll see what happens" an OK answer this time?

[7ranz]

We are really glossing over the fact that the president owes us 12000 dollars.

[WuWei]

@Camp

That is a falsehood.

Packing is adding beyond 9.

Or whatever the number currently is in order to change the make up.

A one way ticket to China, the middle east, perhaps North Korea or if a tropical environment is the preference, Cuba.

Immersion into what they want to turn the country into would be a great eye opener. If they like it, please stay.

If they don’t, please feel free to come back with an attitude of gratitude for being blessed to be a citizen of the greatest nation in the world.

Was this question asked before about stacking the Supreme Court? Since when do the American people not deserve to know the answer to such an important question?
