Democrats must consider court-packing when they regain power. It’s the only way to save democracy.

Bad if Trump does it, but Democrats MUST do it. FDR tried this, and failed.

It is possible that a two-term Democratic president could serve from 2021 to 2029 without being able to replace a single Republican-appointed justice. The tears and gnashing of teeth here are beautiful to behold.

It is safe to assume they are contemplating worse than court-packing. Completely unhinged they are.

No standing.
Democrats have “endangered democracy” by refusing to accept the result of a democratic election.

FDR tried this, and failed.
Back then we still had Democrats in Congress who were loyal to Constitutional principles. No more.

Your comment was almost my verbatim thought when I read the article.

If Trump gets to name 7-9 justices, that would be court packing. A few, 2-4 is normal ebb-and-flow. Nice, but normal.

Liberals desire the destruction of this nation.
Liberals grew up angry at their parents. They wanted to prove that their childish ways would work, but their ways don’t work.
Problem is, their parents ways do work.
So, liberals want to destroy their parent’s nation to prove their parent’s ways don’t work.
It is about a childish anger, and if you keep that in mind then everything a liberal does is predictable.

No, that would be normal if it happens normally.
