This doesn't sound authoritarian or dictatorial at all.

All of this BS shows that our founding fathers were on the mark when they went with a representative republic instead of a democracy.

Where have I seen this before recently?
quote:
Days before a new National Assembly was to be sworn in with an overwhelming opposition majority, the country’s current legislature, dominated by the Socialist party of President Nicolás Maduro, voted Wednesday to approve 13 new judges for the Supreme Court in what critics say is an attempt to stack the court in the executive branch’s favor.
however, when that doesn't work, what i really can't wait for is the DEMs to propose a new Super-Legislature
quote:
The move enables the Constituent Assembly to supersede the country’s legislature, the National Assembly, which has been led by opposition parties since last year and is the only branch of government not controlled by Mr. Maduro.

I'll summarize his article.
Court packing is bad when strick constitutionalist are the majority, therefore the left should pack the court with lef-twing ideologues.

it's not bad...it's unfair, especially with lifetime appointments b/c sometimes DEM Presidents don't get to nominate candidates

i joked a few weeks ago, and i actually believe it now, but when/if RBG has to be replaced by Trump, i think actual suicides occur

The democrat/media complex is very dangerous in that reinforces to such a degree the complete false reality progressives live in. I hope many do choose to self abort.

I predicted two week ago on this very board, even referenced FDR's stunt, that this would be the libtards' next move.
It will happen, they will try, and that's why most of us agreed that Trump and the GOP shoukd anticipate this in advance and block any avenue they might have towards doing this ... because they WILL give it a try.

Donald Trump will soon have two in less than half a term. That unfairness, if left unaddressed, will eventually destroy the legitimacy of the institution itself.
That was one of Trump's biggest planks he ran on; but no, Americans voting for what they want will destroy the Supreme Court.
In order to protect this institution, we have to stop Americans from voting!

Dude, I think you’ve found the best melt since the resignation of Kennedy.
This actually reads like he just finished crying and is now pouting and angry. I bet he broke his keyboard punching out that hissy fit.

Float an amendment blocking stacking the court. When they shoot it down....stack the court? Hmmmm.

That would be a catastrophically stupid move on their part. Republicans will just stack it again.
Then the damn court will just represent who is president, undermining their own power in a checks and balances system.

Good. If the Left manages to transform the USA into some kind of Leftist totalitarian regime, that makes secession all the more likely.
More than one nation-state can exist on this land. That's been proven.
