I actually think term limits for judges make sense. I don’t want leftists packing the court though.
When the left loses, they want to change the rules.
Yes. I’m sure most Americans would love to go through what we’ve been through in the last month a lot more often.
Term-limits for the House and Senate first, to illustrate their sincerity.
Never allow the Left to regain power. They are responsible for the stinking rot in our culture, and it will take at least two generations to root out the malignant cancer of their ideology. The first step is to boycott Leftist universities and church bodies, breeding grounds for Leftism.
Democrats changing the rules is what put Kavanaugh in. Now they want to change more rules that they think are impeding themselves. They seem to have no desire to ideas and LEADERSHIP.
Just an observation, but if you shuffled this around to 14 members....wouldn’t that mean that Trump would just go and select five more conservative judges and we’d get five episodes of the Kavanaugh-circus environment?
I do have some agreement that term limits might be worth discussing, but I’d want it for the Justices, the House members, and the Senators. I doubt if the Democrats would be happy with that idea. I’d also suggest a max of ten years or forced retirement of any Justice by age 70.
The last time this court packing business came up...during the FDR era, it scared the Justices a great deal. I just don’t see any support via either the GOP or Democrats to change much of anything.
Eighteen years?
Why not nine and three quarters?
Did any Democratic candidate anywhere in the United States speak out against the vile spectacle of character assassination and the attempt to destroy the life, family and career of a decent Christian man? Did even one have the courage to speak? These people must never be trusted with the power to govern the American people.
It is obvious there needs to be term limits on Senators.
Not a good idea, but compared to the last Democrat plan of putting all of the justices under massive surveillance for purposes of blackmail and then possibly killing one, it does seem like a step forward, at least on the democrat side.
The Left knows all about court packing
Roosevelt appointed 8
Hence came The New Deal
This comes up every time they see that their blatant use of the courts for social engineering might be in jeopardy.
They will never enforce tyranny at the ballot box and have relied for over 50 years on using a unelected body to legislate their plans.
Any student of history knows that FDR tried exactly the same tactics from the White House. Further study shows that he only relented when he was in office so long that he got more lefty picks. God willing, Trump won’t have to wait that long and legislation by ruling can at least be a generation away.
Sour grapes. It’ll never happen. They had 8 l-o-n-g years of 0bama to make all the changes they could ram through and this never came up ONCE. Not. Once.
Sore Losers.
I DO agree with Term Limits for the PUKES in Congress, and I like the idea of a mandatory retirement age for both SCOTUS Members AND Congress Critters.
Limit to eighteen years would let more 60 year olds eligible and we would have better idea of their ideology.
So now they want Trump to name an additional 5 SCJ’s to get the court up to 14? Did they really think this through?
A)An even number? And WTH does “7 Statutory and 7 Constitutional” mean? I heard some other d-bag suggest going down to 8, again an even number. I don’t get it.
B)It’s odd Ro Khanna calls himself a “candidate” since he’s an incumbent Congressman.
C)Meh, they need a President to pack the court (Maybe WE should pack the court?). And they need a constitutional amendment for judicial term limits (not a bad idea in theory but perhaps not to our benefit at this time).
Legislating in a representative government is HARD. It would be so much better if we could just put 14 liberals in charge and let them do what needs to be done?
oh no they are taking their ball home because they are losing..
