I wonder if this is the olive branch he agreed to when he agreed to step down ?

That if they would go along with it then he would step down and to try to salvage his term by giving him something to talk about until January

Because it would be reallllll awkward if not because he absolutely must rely on Pelosi and Schumer to attempt to get this passed when they were the same ones who strong armed him to step down in the first place

I don't see the House going along with this. It's DOA.

It is the democrat strategy to make abortion a huge issue with Joey on the foghorn of expanding SCOTUS.

Trump should push to expand the Supreme Court on day 1. Watch the democrats suddenly oppose it

Basically what he proposes required two constitutional amendments which are not going to happen. This announcement is just political theater.

Enlarging the court is stupid. 9 members is already pushing the limits for a single panel—which SCOTUS has to (or at least should) be.

Adding members is the only thing on his wishlist that wouldn’t require an amendment. But it’s DOA too, it won’t pass the House and they’d have to bypass the filibuster to get it through the Senate.

Damn what about bringing down the temp of politics Joe? He just vilified the Supreme Court Justices and questioned their ethics.

You do know the GOP holds the House and Pelosi is irrelevant right?

This has zero chance of moving through Congress. They gave Biden this stupid project as a little toy to shut him up the rest of his lame duck period.

Agree. Political stunt to try and find something with traction. Go look at the X trend, the bots are out but it will not last. Although some of the language being used is very concerning, I hope no one gets bad ideas about hurting someone on the SC.

This is starting to sound like some shite that was written on the back of an IHOP napkin.

It’s called “court packing,” and it blew up in FDR’s face. The whole idea has been consistently ridiculed and scorned going on 100 years now. Let them go down this road. He’s just pushed out of shape because the courts have shut down so much of his unconstitutional BS.

This is a very silly speech that Biden is giving right now.

The scary thing is that the crowd is applauding him.

We are now the socialist party country.

Trump should come out tonight and proclaim:

Term limits for justices

Expanding the court membership


Heads would exploded and the democrats would suddenly be against it.

Biden just wants one more good failed promise and attempt to contribute to his spectacular legacy. Just one more embarrassing failure for the road. Old habits die hard.
