You didn’t answer the question.

I raised a question. I was hoping for an answer, not posing one.

> Increasing the size of the SC

I don’t like it on principal, and furthermore, advise and consent of the Senate is still needed for the vacancies.

In 2009 Nanzi thought 500 million Americans would lose their jobs if we “didn’t come up with an economic package”/forked over dumptrucks of money over to feckless lenders.
Obama thinks we have 57 states.
One of the `rat brainiacs was afraid Guam might tip over.

No one ever went broke underestimating the stupidity of Democrats. (Except the GOP-e)

Somebody of influence needs to call out the Left for simply declaring Trump et al the enemy, and attacking over absolutely everything regardless of the issue at hand.

The Congressional Dems have descended into the foaming-at-the-mouth irrational zone and need to have the brakes put on their craziness.

They have turned the filibuster into a pure HATE TRUMP machine.

The nuclear option is the only mechanism that can restore sanity to the American legislative process.

Tim Kaine on Friday said he believes Senate Democrats will change the chamber’s rules if they run into GOP obstruction in 2017.

The Left isn’t talking issues, they’ve decided who & what their demons are, they’ve decided it’s Trump and he’s Hitler, and are adjusting all arguments to make sure, either by rationalization or by goading, Trump is Hitler.

The far left's Hitler delusions can only lead them into the darkness at the edge of the cliff.

Trump will only relish the PR fight that is developing and end by making these "Hitler" dreamers look totally unAmerican and obviously delusional.

Trump's Administration will be shaping our world--carving it out of American values.

The Dem leftists are besotted with the suicidal values of contemporary Europe--a Europe that, ironically, created Hitler in the first place.
