Rs try and steal another seat (by their own standard, ask Mitch) Dems will absolutely pack the court.

And frankly, Rs would be asking for it.

Why do you not use “we” instead of Dems?

Do you have some shame in being a Dem?

It probably won't matter unless the GOP somehow wins the presidency in 2028 because if/when the dems win they are packing the court without a doubt.

Great point.
However, the GOP more than deserved to be punished. They haven't done a damn thing in the past 2 years for We the People. Their effort was SHAMEFUL. It is too late to concern ourselves with the importance of SCOTUS appointments. It is time the GOP and the DEMS focus on We the People.

They could get it done in 1 day. Any barriers that prevent it are self-imposed.

The Dems will pack the Court, no matter what “deal” they promise. If you believe they’ll honor anything agreed to with the GOP you are very naive.

Anyone old enough to remember when the Senate was basically a rubber stamp for whoever the POTUS nominated? The Senate using it veto power over whoever the POTUS wants is a very recent phenomenon.

I have ZERO (-0) faith that the feckless Republicans that wont even pass SAVE, or codify the tax breaks or the other great initiatives that Trump enacted, will do anything OTHER than hunker down and wait, in order to 'make nice' for when the new Commiegress assumes power.

Sounds like something the voters, or the ones who stayed home, should have thought of instead of being so shortsighted and ignorant. This is what happens when people don’t learn civics and suffer from TDS. Trump has two years left, now as a lame duck. What happened yesterday fricked us all for at least 6 years.


Sure but this was always at least somewhat likely (loss of majority). Seems like an admin that was on top of their shite would’ve planned ahead in the two years.

The chance is gone. If they try that Democrats will cut a deal: We won’t pack the court if you replace them with consensus justices.


And then they'll do it anyway because they are lying sacks of shite that are never held to account

wish they would just put term limits. 20 year max for SCOTUS.

This country doesn't need octogenarians dictating laws they will never have to deal with.

No they won’t. They didn’t the last time they had the power to do so, and they won’t if they have that power in 2029.
