i've said right along that Trump needs to expand the court to 11!!!Just another example of how the left only likes the rules that benefit them, majority be dammed.
No one is buying this. And it’s rich given FDR intentionally tried to pack the court.
They aren’t getting a constitutional amendment on this..
Any anyone buying into this was already voting D anyway.. non starter in terms of driving any election improvements for D’s.
Term limits is a bad idea...
Age limits is a much better idea for both the SCOTUS and Congress...
75 seems like a nice ripe age to pass the torch for both institutions...
Term limits for the SC? Maybe. Mandatory retirement age, definitely.
SECTION 1: No person may serve as Chief Justice or Associate Justice of the Supreme Court for more than a combined total of twelve years.
SECTION 2: Immediately upon ratification of this Amendment, Congress will organize the justices of the Supreme Court as equally as possible into three classes, with the justices assigned to each class in reverse seniority order, with the most senior justices in the earliest classes. The terms of office for the justices in the First Class will expire at the end of the fourth Year following the ratification of this Amendment, the terms for the justices of the Second Class will expire at the end of the eighth Year, and of the Third Class at the end of the twelfth Year, so that one-third of the justices may be chosen every fourth Year.
SECTION 3: When a vacancy occurs in the Supreme Court, the President shall nominate a new justice who, with the approval of a majority of the Senate, shall serve the remainder of the unexpired term. Justices who fill a vacancy for longer than half of an unexpired term may not be renominated to a full term.
SECTION 4: Upon three-fifths vote of the House of Representatives and the Senate, Congress may override a majority opinion rendered by the Supreme Court.
SECTION 5: The Congressional override under Section 4 is not subject to a Presidential veto and shall not be the subject of litigation or review in any Federal or State court.
SECTION 6: Upon three-fifths vote of the several state legislatures, the States may override a majority opinion rendered by the Supreme Court.
SECTION 7: The States’ override under Section 6 shall not be the subject of litigation or review in any Federal or State court, or oversight or interference by Congress or the President.
SECTION 8: Congressional or State override authority under Sections 4 and 6 must be exercised no later than twenty-four months from the date of the Supreme Court rendering its majority opinion, after which date Congress and the States are prohibited” from exercising the override.
Wouldn’t it be funny if the Democrats actually tried to do this and it it wound up in the Supreme Court and Kavannah was the deciding judge to defeat it!
I indepentently thought up this:
Those Who Oppose Kavanaugh Ought to Support Liberty Amendments

[My sinister cape may be long, but please don’t think I’m part of a cabal. I just want to highlight Liberty Amendments and offer the left something reasonable.]
More ripples from the epicenter of a lost cause.
I see lots of agreement withTerm Limits, here.
Term Limits is an absolutely TERRIBLE idea, and a placebo for the Right.
You are BANKING on them all being corrupt with Term Limits! And you’ve done NOTHING to remove the corrupting influences, so that is all you are going to get.
The Constitution of the United States was written by certifiable Geniuses, especially when viewed in light of the mental midgetry of the attempts to “fix” it, since its authorship.
SCOTUS term limits wiill never happen, though a future Democratic president could expand the size of SCOTUS.
This is a genuine threat from the left.
Limiting the terms of SCOTUS would require a Constitutional Amendment which would require the left to control both houses of Congress with 2/3 majorities and 38 of the state legislatures. That’s not going to happen.
But the proposal does reveal the left’s mindset. If we lose, the rules must be changed so that we win, like their dislike of the Electoral College.
What happens if the Supreme Court rules Court packing and term limits to be unconstitutional? Would the Left accept the Final Authority that they always claim it has? Would they continue to demand that Precedent be held sacred?
So it appears to be working just fine the way it is and always has been.
Whenever rules and laws don’t work to the democrats advantage they come up with the brilliant idea to change them so they do.
ISSUE: Hillary loses the Presidential election with fewer electoral college votes than Trump but has an extra 4 million fraudulent
and illegal alien votes in New York and California.
DEMOCRAT SOLUTION: Abandon the Electoral College system and elect presidents by popular vote.
ISSUE: Democrat BORKING fails in their effort to block President Trump’s Supreme Court nominees.
DEMOCRAT SOLUTION: Set term limits for Supreme Court Justices so they can get a re-do in later years.
i've said right along that Trump needs to expand the court to 11!!!Let’s repeal the 17th before we do anything.
The Dems are now all-in on court packing. You betcha.
No, and the power of the federal courts, including SCOTUS, needs to be reigned in.
It’s time stop giving leftists the tools they need to rule us.
SCOTUS term limits is a terrible idea. Terrible. We would have massive politicization and instability. It would collapse the Constitution.
