How would he "stack the court"? There are 4 solid conservatives 2 moderates and 3 liberals as most court observers have noticed. The 4 conservatives and 2 moderates are not going anywhere...but of the 3 liberals Stevens and Ginsberg they appear to be leaving very soon, so you are basically replacing liberals with liberals so a wash there. Obama cannot do much with the court and that included expanding it.
He’s referring to either a loss of the justices (In pelican brief, justices are killed for an envoironmentalism movement), or Obama inflating the number of Justices. It hasn’t always been 9, that’s just been the case for about 100 years or so. Wilson (I think), tried to up the number so he could appoint more justices, his wording would indicate that’s what he’s referring to also.
What are the chances the persuader-in-chief will invite one or more Justices to the White House for a Chicago style chat?
the size of the supreme court is set by the congress...roosevelt tried to double the size of the court in order to appoint justices to his liking...his attempt failed, but with this congress, and 8 months left in their term, they just might be able to do it...look this up and read about it, this is his plan...once he does this, our republic will be truly lost
If Obama was smart (a big IF) he would replace them with liberals who might influence other SCOTUS members. Sonya Sotomayer 'aint gonna cut it. Her colleagues are probably already making jokes about her.
“The 4 conservatives and 2 moderates are not going anywhere..” that we know of.
I would not be surprised if at least one died of , ahem, ‘natural causes’ or ‘suicide’ in the near future.
This administration is EVIL.
