    the dems have constantly shot themselves in the foot when they screw around with long standing rules. Packing the court would be a really stupid idea

    I already told you I’m well aware the number of Justices can be changed by congress. I never stated otherwise. I’ve simply pointed out your claim that Congress can impose term limits on Justices is rainbow farting unicorn fantasy.

    You are the one who doesn’t understand the Constitution. You are on record making claims that Dems in congress can impose term limits on the Justices. This is false.

    On the other hand, everything I’ve posted is verifiably correct as supported by the Judiciary Committee and by the founders themselves.

    I don’t need an education. I’m not the one posting easily proven disinformation.


    Take my advice. Study up a bit.

    Denying two Dem prez's the opportunity to choose a SC justice was an abomination. Effectively putting a conservative super majority in place for years despite a Repub winning the popular vote for the presidency once in the last eight elections. But Repubs did it anyway because when they have power they use it ruthlessly.

    The Supreme Court Declares Independence
    Gerard Baker, Wall Street Journal

    The rulings on affirmative action, student loans and free speech herald a counterrevolution against the left's domination of American... Read More

    ". . . The popular rebellion against the cultural left that has seized so many of the institutions of American life has enjoyed mixed success at the political level. But since that hegemony was established in large part through half a century of grotesque judicial overreach, it was likely to be truly overturned only by a judiciary that would finally move to substitute restraint for activism.

    With last week’s timely, pre-Independence Day succession of decisions by the court we can see better than ever that the counterrevolution is advancing apace. In Biden v. Nebraska, Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, and 303 Creative v. Elenis, a solid majority struck solid blows for the principles and values that helped create the U.S. in the first place.

    In the three cases—respectively over the Biden administration’s student debt cancellation plan, racial preferences in college applications, and free-speech protections in commercial interactions—the judgments rescinded the usurpation by an expansive executive of the power of the purse, restored the principle of merit over group membership as a key determinant of individual opportunity, and reaffirmed a citizen’s right not to be compelled to endorse ideas with which she disagrees.

    Note the common prefix in the principal verb in each of those subclauses, “re-.” One meaning is “back” or “backward.” But this is no reactionary backlash to the inevitable march of modernity, as most of the media, with predictable and prejudicial alarmism, calls it. These decisions, along with other critical rulings in this and the preceding court term, represent the necessary undoing of successive judicially authorized derogations of the most defining American principles—fairness, equality, freedom, the proper exercise and distribution of government powers. . . . "

    Dismissing McTreason's treachery out of hand while making a specious analogy to FDR's FAILED efforts to pack the Court is exactly the kind of mental gibberish I've come to expect from conservatives.

    I love reading your hysterical Trump hatred. You hated Trump long before his poor loser bullshit after the election. and Biden has done far more to harm America than Trump ever did. what did Trump do to keep a bunch of marxist turds off the Court other than beating Hillary?

    I see you remain upset by the fact that McConnell is the smartest Senator in our time.

    A "counter-revolution" enacted by an illegitimate conservative majority, ignoring precedent, whether the plaintiffs had standing, and black letter law, to impose extra-legal rulings. A grotesque judicial overreach continuing the Roberts court's brand of politically based activism.

    Nope. He warned Harry Reid that the Democrats would regret their political expedients, and then was as good as his word. McConnell has been not only the smartest, but also the most honest Senator.

    many, if not all of you lefties reveled in FDR ignoring the tenth amendment and cowing a cowardly supreme court into reversing 100 years of precedent because FDR knew he couldn't pass a constitutional amendment allowing all the bullshit unconstitutional New Deal excrement. So I don't give any credence to any leftwing bellyaching over a court that actually tries to return us to the real meaning of the tenth amendment etc

    This is feeling all too familiar. That is, you expressing your admiration for abuses of power.........not authority.

    How about you go back and provide support for that screed so I know exactly what to dismantle. BTW, do you feel similarly about Lincoln's overstep of constitutional authority?

    You keep repeating that as if it is justification for stealing two SC appointees.

    McConnell’s lust to control the Supreme Court could destroy it
    https://www.penncapital-star.com/go...upreme-court-could-destroy-it-bruce-ledewitz/

    We are past could.

    “I believe the overwhelming view of the Republican Conference in the Senate is that this nomination should not be filled, this vacancy should not be filled by this lame duck president.
    The American people are perfectly capable of having their say on this issue, so let’s give them a voice. Let’s let the American people decide.”


    The transparently corrupt nature of Mitch's rationale being exposed by the fact the American people had already decided when they elected Obama for a second term which had not expired.

    Nothing was stolen. Constitutional processes were managed adroitly. The Democrats are solely responsible for their own foolishness.
