Ok, let's add six conservative judges to the Supreme Court. Sound like a good idea?

It's really not if you can comprehend the very simple concept of how policy changes can worsen the current condition. We only have our entire history as an example...

If you think this is the worst it can get and no new laws/policies can make things worse, I don't even really understand how you comprehend politics at all.

You can understand my confusion when you’re posting about the topic on a political message board.

It’s like when Gary Chambers spends 5 years engaging in hypothetical situations then when one is posed to him he says he doesn’t do hypotheticals

Exactly. There’s no way to know (without fixed elections) who is going to win. So why suggest this when your opposition could benefit greatly from it.

Look, the only play these people have is lawfare. They want to completely upend the constitution but don’t want to put in the work. So the easiest end around is to install a bunch of people who want to do away with the constitution and make rulings that counter it.

Then why start a thread about it? Obviously you do think about it. I'll go a step further and say that you are in favor of it. I don't think that's making much of a leap.

But... don't tell me... you simply found it interesting and posted it without comment just for shits and giggles, right?

You are almost as disingenuous as SFP.

The bill’s most significant measure would increase the number of justices from nine to 15 over the course of 12 years

I'm a communist because I don't ponder over the Supreme Court?

You can waste all the time you want fretting over things you have absolutely no control over, but that's not how I want to spend my time.

How do you suspect that would play out long term?


It's one branch of government trying to dilute the power of another. And from a long term perspective, this just gives precedent that when it's not in your favor, dilute it more. 20 years from now, what if we still end up with a majority conservative court....do they expand to 20 judges. Why stop there...100 judges. Any time it's not in your favor, dilute it more!

because I thought it would make for an interesting discussion? Jeez, you just want to argue and make things personal. You can have opinions without attacking strangers, bro. Seems like you're pissed that I'm not either supporting or defending this. Why do you care so much about what I think?

This board has gone feral. It used to be a discussion board. Now it's a twitter board full of grumpy people who just want to berate strangers on the internet. Just go back to Twitter and sky scream there.

Yet you started a topic about it.

One thing's for sure, you're definitely biologically female.

It wouldn't be the first time they threatened this shite. The whole reason why we have federal agencies doing the actual governing through regulation vs congress passing actual laws is thanks to that tyrant threatening to pack the courts to jam through his new deal agenda.

Can't get it done? People don't want it? frick em, threaten to blow the whole thing up. Look how that turned out
