Good wait until Kennedy retires this summer and we can stack the court even further!
Also, Ginsburg may croak as well!
That will solidify the court for the good guys for decades!
Eat a bag shithead!

Oh the travesty.. you're all about population control on the front end of a potentially good life, but when it comes to the back end of a shitty life, you lose your collective minds.
And fwiw I really don't have a stance on the death penalty because I'm not trashy and don't know trashy people that end up on death row

You are way overstating Gorsuch's involvement in this. The condemned always needed 5 votes to stop the execution. He was not getting there with or without Gorsuch.

Sigh. That's not how that works.

The state shouldn't be in the execution business.

If they would just use bullets to the brain, as the Chinese and Russians do, the injectables would be inconsequential.
We worry far too much about the humanity of wasting scumbags.

4 - 4 would have had the same result, fine
but if Garland had been the Scalia replacement, this would likely have been a 5-4 decision the other way
so yes, Gorsuch is already paying dividends

FDR tried to expand but it failed congress. the constitution does not state the numeber of justices either.
quote:
Article III of the United States Constitution does not specify the number of justices. The Judiciary Act of 1789 called for the appointment of six justices, and as the nation's boundaries grew, Congress added justices to correspond with the growing number of judicial circuits: seven in 1807, nine in 1837, and ten in 1863.
In 1866, at the behest of Chief Justice Chase, Congress passed an act providing that the next three justices to retire would not be replaced, which would thin the bench to seven justices by attrition. Consequently, one seat was removed in 1866 and a second in 1867. In 1869, however, the Circuit Judges Act returned the number of justices to nine,[68] where it has since remained.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt attempted to expand the Court in 1937. His proposal envisioned appointment of one additional justice for each incumbent justice who reached the age of 70 years 6 months and refused retirement, up to a maximum bench of 15 justices. The proposal was ostensibly to ease the burden of the docket on elderly judges, but the actual purpose was widely understood as an effort to pack the Court with justices who would support Roosevelt's New Deal.[69] The plan, usually called the "Court-packing Plan", failed in Congress.[70]
WIKI
we have had 6, 7 9, and 10 justices throughout history.

but it might be moving forward - with the WH & majorities in both Houses of Congress, they could do it if they wanted
interesting info in this thread

"We" don't. This is the liberals' latest front on the war on the death penalty. I'm not even for the death penalty and what they are doing is so transparent, it's stupid. Dear liberals, win at the ballot box. Let the courts retire from their role as dictators and be courts again.

I'm very pro-choice and even I have to agree with this sentiment.

Justice gets served and people throw a fit. Move to a lawless country and see how you make out. Then report back and update us on the quality of life.
