Biden proposes sweeping changes to the Supreme Court

Trying to get votes for Kamala by promising something that can't be delivered.

 

So Democrats are losing the game and they want to change the rules. The USSC has been working just fine for 200+ years now. Leave it alone!

 

It HAD been working fine and then Trump and McConnell got a hold of it
Plus there are other issues that have changed how the court works that the FF could not have foreseen

 

Oh wah! Old Democrats who should have retired screwed the Party.

 

Why do you keep capitalizing black?
I can understand it when you see headlines like "BLACK suspect arrested for murdering a WHITE police officer." but of course, you never do, no mention of skin color, unless it's a white police officer who kills a black man, then it's the most important part of the headline.

Really ? Give me an actual example of what you think this is….

You think ethics oversight would diminish the court, or would it diminish the corruption ? Nobody is claiming, or even proposing that their decision have oversight, just the justices and their ethics. Do you really think the SC isnt ethically challenged after what we now KNOW Clarence Thomas did? Do you honestly think that was 1. Ethical, and 2 Legal ?

No, this is the new right wing conspiracy that the FBI is somehow corrupt, because they found things on Trump. Now the conspiracy crosses over to the Secret Service and somehow they “wanted trump killed”. I will say, the right in this country never met a conspiracy they wouldn’t embrace….

Then why fight against oversight of them ?

THEY ALL DO IT. Hell Stevie Wonder can see that. Congress has been bought and paid for since god was a child. They need to get elected, and to get elected, they have to get donations, those donations are legalized bribery. BOTH sides of this equation are dirty.

Didnt have to wait long…I call them BOTH out…..

 

unless the political party is the Democrat party; right? The Constitution is what it is regardless of political party.

 

No, I don't want the Democrats to hold that power either.

The process by which McConnell denied Obama a SCOTUS nomination is NOT in the Constitution. The office of "Senate Majority Leader" is not a Constitutional Office.

 

Those specific words? No. But the Constitution does outline who shall be "President" of the Senate.

That bold/underlined part is the equivalent to "Senate Majority Leader".

As for the "process"...that "process" was simply not considering Obama's pick. Not the first time its happened in history. And the Constitution DOES say that each house shall determine its own rules.

Did McConnell violate those rules?

 

Democrats in DC just want to wield the SCOTUS like a weapon, because in reailty they want to turn America into a socialist hellhole and then reign over the ashes.

Why does Biden hate this man so much?

 

I’d have to disagree on senate majority leader and senate pro tempore. The senate pro tempore can not be the VP and could be from a different party as the VP isn’t always the same party as the majority party in the senate, so they don’t always line up. Having said that, the party with the majority does pick their parties leader in the senate to fill that position.

 

You are correct that the VP and the Senate pro tempore is not always of the same party. But the Senate pro tempore is always the senates majority leader. And the poster I was responding to was saying that "there is no office of Senate Majority Leader". Party affiliation is irrelevant.

 

Official office? No there isn’t one for majority leader. Also, the pro tempore doesn’t have to be the majority leader. They can choose someone else, though they typically dont. They are not synonymous.
