    Court packing. Even FDR couldn't get away with that nonsense.

    Yes, I posted before you changed it. Democrats are indeed the ones who got this started. The GOP is continuing it. As a result, SCOTUS has become a political arm of whoever's in power. The next logical step is to pack the court when you're in power. The Dems will certainly do this. The thinking is obvious: half a loaf of a Supreme Court is better than none, and the base won't tolerate conservative control of the Court for decades. They just won't, ESP. if a conservative court begins doing things like overturning Roe (which has 65+% support).

    The Court has been "packed" before. Several times.

    Obama squandered his political capital, thats why he could not get a justice.

    Republicans play by the rules, democrats dont have any rules.

    There isnt equivocation here, just dems willing to stoop to any measure to implement their agenda.

    Can't say that I blame them. The majority of voters, meaning individuals, didn't vote for Trump or Bush, so 4 of these justices ought to, by their account, have been appointed by Gore/Clinton.

    I know, inb4 electoral college arguments, but the point stands. Democrats outnumber republicans in this nation by a decent margin and there is only so much they will tolerate being dictated to be the minority.

    Bullshit and you know it. McConnell would never allow Obama to pick one.

    Now, Mitch Mcskidmark is saying he'd push through another justice if it were 2020.

    Hypocrite of the highest order.

    Liberals are pathetic. They cannot get anywhere by following the Constitution, and going through the normal channels of Congress, so they have to "pack" the courts, and legislate from the bench.

    Communists, like Fidel Castro, believe in doing that.
    They are pathetic.

    Roe is just a fearing mongering dog whistle. It isn't going anywhere and I highly doubt gay marriage will either. Even if Roe by some miracle was overturned, it just falls back to the states, so those in Blue states have no danger of restricting their baby sacrifices .

    Leftists appear to want to have consequences-free sex, at any time, with any one.

    The sky is falling. For sure.

    Why stop at 2?

    Those gosh darn Libs are gonna put 10 new justices on that Court!

    10, I Say!

    Breitbart better stay on the case.

    Thanks for keeping us informed as to The latest Tinfoil Hat Conspiracies emanating from that COMEDY site.

    BTW--The Libs are planning a big takeover.:salute:

    It's absolutely relevant. Otherwise it wouldn't be brought up.

    Set Americans back decades. Remember, this is one country.

    Your slimey rat identity politics won't work here.
