Just asking…what if Trump came out and said okay, let’s pack the Supreme Court and here are my SC justice candidates.
How fast would the D’s start crawfishing on this point? Get them on record saying they are now against increasing the number of SC justices.
That wouldn't stop them. They have NO morals. They do not care what you think of them.

On a side note, as a former Louisiana resident, great job fellas getting Cassidy out of there!

Did you really just type that question?

The Founders left the structure of the judiciary to Congress. I believe the Constitution references a Chief Justice of the Court but it only appears in the impeachment proceedings of the president. No further reference is made to the Chief Justice.

She's not the only one.
Kamala and Jeffries are saying it loud and proud.

Correct and they will do exactly what they are saying out loud but suburban moderates are ignorant and complicit with the Left’s agenda

quote:Simple congressional legislation, just like any other act. In theory, a simple majority in the House and in the Senate, followed by the president signature. So for example, if the House and Senate went democrat this fall, Congress could try to pack the court. But of course Trump would veto, and presumably, that would not pass the Senate. The concern will come when both Congress and the President are Democrat.
What is the mechanism?
SCOTUS has changed size on multiple occasions.
1789–1807 6 justices
1807–1837 7 justices
1837–1863 9 justices
1863–186610 justices
1866–1869 7 justices (Congress reduced size to limit Johnson's appointments, and punish the South)**
1869–2026 9 justices
** As an aside, the 7 Judge period was the point where SCOTUS conjured up its "secession is unconstitutional" bullshite ruling in Texas v. White. It is one one the most nonsensical and preordained rulings in the court's history. SFP loves to quote it as valuable jurisprudence.

I get that, but what would specially qualify that legislation to be exempt from being overturned by the USSC if they so chose?

Believe it was the Judiciary Act of 1790 that set up the Judiciary system in the US.

Whatever it takes. By any means necessary.

We can't maintain the Republic with idiots in Congress.
They need more checks.
As in an IQ test or Presidential confirmation.
If the President denies confirmation (veto) they either elect someone else or override his veto with a higher margin.
They have checks on the executive, the executive needs more checks on them.
And the damned Republicans had better start fighting for the Republic.

So better do it soon I guess...with all the House seats they are losing but with all the redistricting going on now, and then after the census, it might be a long time before they hold the House majority.

Would be a perfect play. Hope they do it.

There is nothing democratic about One Party Rule, which the Democrats will enshrine at their first opportunity. They will show you how to ensure that their version of democracy is instituted.
White males will have no say, indeed they may be exterminated. Right along with Jews and other undesirables.
