"I like your idea!
I totally disagree with this if Obama has anything to do with appointing them.
That you Mr.Roosevelt? Thought you was dead.
>>Time to Increase Number of Supreme Court Justices<<
That’s a dandy idea. Can this really happen? If so, I’ll be writing my reps and senator.
GOOD! THATS BRILLIANT!! Letsdo it right now like You suggest so that Obama gets to appoint 6 more Terrorists to the Bench before he leaves! BRILLIANT!!
"I like your idea!
Totally disagree. If you add more justices, they’ll just vote based on coalitions. The outcomes will be the same.
There are already too many idiots on the public dole writing irrelevant side opinions.
No, it is time to abolish the SCOTUS.
They have failed in their duty to protect the constitution, and rewarding them by increasing the number of justices is STUPID.
If they refuse to do their duty, then their is no reason for it to exist, beyond that, I will never obey anything it decides again, so what really is the point of it existing?
We don’t need for justices. We need a super-majority of strict constructionists. I would say 7 would be the minimum — or even 8. That way when one or two go wobbly, the whole nation doesn’t have to pay the price. No More John Roberts! No More Souters!

No!
You might be opening a can of worms we’d rather keep shut. Didn’t FDR look at trying such a thing when he couldn’t get his socialist agenda through the courts?
I’m a little surprised 0bama hasn’t tried it already.
The justices need to be term limited with no re-appointment possible. Ten year terms. The court is so politicized that even direct elections would be preferable to the current system. I also like the idea of Mark Levin that the congress could overturn a SC decision by a 2/3 margin in both Houses.
AKA roosevelt........no thanks
Why not just admit that the USSC has become nothing more than a glorified legislature?
In doing so we’d be admitting that one of the branches of government is worthless and the Constitution is therefore invalid, but if we’re going to go to mob rule anyway we might as well skip the niceties and get it over with.
Can’t increase the number of justices.
FDR tried to add an additional 6 in 1939 and Congress said NO.
I say drop the number of justices to four.
I say we just trim it down to the 4 that understand the job they where tapped to do.
The number is irrelevant as there will always be an ample supply of people more than willing to put political views ahead of the US Constitution and the US Citizens.
What we need a 9 judges who have shown to have a full and complete understanding of the Constitution as INTENDED not what they would like it to say.
These judges need to use the owner’s manual, known as the Federalist Papers to erase any last vestiges of political bias and to insure they know how, what and why the Constitution was written and the intent of the founders to finally give the world a country with a LIMITED government. LIMITED government is one of the most important concepts and one that the black robed political hack lawyer morons seem unable, or more than likely, unwilling to grasp.
