I’d like to see Blumenthal dance the Tyburn Jig.

Blumenthal is taking up the cudgel of court packing with not so subtle threats to conservative justices that, if they do not vote with their liberal colleagues, the Court may be fundamentally altered.

Five foot rope. Six foot drop.

He should be held in contempt for threatening the court.

How can he threaten them? He needs to be impeached.

If this court’s activist majority betrays fundamental constitutional principles we’ll replace them with our own activist majority!

To bad he didn’t really serve in Vietnam. Likely, his men would have fragged him.

Blumenthal sounds like a real communist nut case. But senators have as much control over justices as Wile E Coyote has over the Roadrunner.

And they’ll likely get it. Roberts and Kav will placate their establishment masters and strike down the state abortion law in a 5-4 decision.

“...Senator Blumenthal Warns Conservative Justices Of “Seismic” Changes If They Rule ‘The Wrong Way’...”

Really?

Who ‘warns’ a Supreme Court Justice....or otherwise threatens ANY public official, and walks away without charges ??

Dear God,

PLEASE remove people like this from positions of power and authority by whatever means you see fit.

Please give us our country back and stir up Your people to do what’s right.

It is particularly chilling to see United States senators openly pressuring justices to vote with their side or face severe consequences.

While I disagree with the extremists push to pack the Court, I DO agree that judges AND justices should face consequences for their activism. The framers did not imbue the Supreme Court with final and singular authority over what is and what is not constitutional. That is a power the Court arrogated to itself in Marbury v Madison. If the House and the Senate determine a judge or justice has overstepped, judges AND justices should face impeachment and removal for their encroachment into the legislative or the executive realms.

Removing a few dozen judges would go a long way to relieving judges (and justices) of the misapprehension that they can rule by fiat.
