frick him and all those douche bags!

How about codifying any of Trump’s EO’s?

Maybe blanket party Thune and get him to whip his senators to pass the Save America Act.

Performative as they passed the continuing resolution passed by the Senate through most of December. This just codifies the Biden budget again for another year.

REPUBLICANS ARE FECKLESS.

I can be more specific about what I really think but I don’t want to be banned.

You think Dems give a flying F about trying to maintain status quo? They openly state they will pack the court. It is like a badge of honor to their base. Whatever it takes. There won't be any dems vote for it, and they don't care if they are on record. Their voting base sure as hell don't.

How can anyone say that by packing the court our country is finished? In a number of years this could swing back to a conservative-heavy court, and backfire on the dems. Same way Harry Reid’s judicial filibuster backfired.

Nah man. If the Dems gain power again it’s over. Think COVID.

A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT requires TWO THIRDS of both the House and the SENATE to APPROVE it. And then 3/4 of the STATES.

This is EMPTY POLITICAL THEATER from a DO-NOTHING Republican Congress.

Correct.

There's no way it's getting added anytime soon for either party.

Congress can’t even get a fricking budget passed.


They have not passed a complete, on time budget since 1996. The last balanced budget was in 2001. They have become addicted to the omnibus route and the political capital game they can play with it.

This is a good start. Next do term limits.


They won't get anything done. I'm so tired of ALL of the DC rats. Nobody really cares about us and don't serve us. I've become tired and cynical of all politicians.

I love the thought and drive behind this. I would absolutely love it if it passes.
Do I think it will? Pigs fly?

They know they won't have the votes to pass that. Guess they're just getting the cockroach Dems on record as supporting court packing.

Ban Islam, it's a terrorist organization, not a religion. If you can't go that far, at least ban Sharia Law. I would think that the civil rights act already covers that. It essentially banned Jim Crow laws right? Sharia Law is far worse than Jim Crow.

This is what is happening. Threaten the Dems that if they don’t pass it Trump will pack it.
