And don’t know how many justices are on SCOTUS. Just my experience in talking to people.

It invalidates a third branch of government meant to keep the other two in check. Packing the court is absolutely anti-American.

Mine as well. I have asked most coworkers if they have heard of legislating from the bench. All I get is looks of bewilderment.

I would ask them about the Biden comment about making Roe v Wade the law of the land. Doubt they understand separation of powers either.

But these are the people that vote, for Biden.

I still don’t know why they just don’t lie about it. Nearly everything else they spew is BS.

Not surprising since million on twitter thought house impeachment meant he’d be removed.

Most Americans cannot name the 3 branches of government, much less know how they check each other.

Our third branch of governance has invalidated itself with 4 decades of judicial activism. It doesn't need any help.

Generations of government schools has dumbed down the populace to the point where they might elect a 77 year old, demented, plagiarizing, career politician who Is knee deep in corruption and might be a pedophile to boot.

And most of THOSE thought that Nancy would become president once Trump was removed.

Yep, it would result in Congress basically having control over the Court, if there were such an effort and it achieved their goal, especially without a whole bunch of resistance.

Oh, and Pelosi would also like basically the ready ability to remove a President when she or the other involved persons felt an urge to commence that proceeding.

Sure Nancy, that's gonna happen Nancy you drunk old buzzard.

Well, there’s one particular gnome on this board that doesn’t understand. In fairness, that fricking idiot probably can’t bathe or feed himself.

Do they even teach civics anymore? Or has it been replaced by some silly touchy-feely-there-are-51-genders-and-everyone-by-white-people-are-oppressed-by-white-men classes?

I’ll challenge that thought on government schools . They are controlled mostly by the local governments . As most if not all mid to large cities are Democrat run with failures abroad the whole spectrum of their incompetence. With that incompetence it spirals further down creating in this case bad leadership, teachers and kids have no chance . Now part of this could be resolved in the households with parental guidance but again we are talking inner cities here and “ they ain’t no time for dat “

I know. It’s now surpassed rioting as my biggest issue. I think it’s an emergency that we need a constitutional amendment capping the justices to 9. We’re actively flirting with civil war in this.

Most people probably believe that Court packing just means appointing judges with similar ideology to Biden. They don’t realize that it means actually expanding the number of justices as well. The press will make sure that this is not explained.
