>>If he violates it, when Democrats control the Senate in the next Congress, we must abolish the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court,” Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., tweeted.
And just how will the Rat Senate pick the President’s nominations for these additional Supreme Court seats?
If they could have done it, they already would have. Between blackmailing and their other underhanded schemes, they gave it their best shot. Never expect anything good or decent from a Democrat and you won’t be disappointed.
Currently 9 Justices are in charge of 13 District Courts.

The number of justices does need to be increased to 13, with a major reorganization of the courts.
For example, the 9th Circuit is way too large, by population, so needs to be subdivided.
And the SCOTUS can only hear 100-150 of the more than 7,000 cases appealed to them every year. And sadly, many of these “slots” are taken up by redundant and frivolous cases.
For example, the SCOTUS agreed to hear the ridiculous “Bong Hits For Jesus” case, from Alaska, TWICE. The justices love to waste time on lawsuits against public schools from irate parents and local agitators. So cases of that sort are heard again and again, never with any sort of final resolution.
The Judiciary committees need to put their foot down with a great list of lawsuits for which there is zero abiding federal interest, no matter how craftily phrased to appear to have one. Thus federal courts should reject and return them for the state courts to decide.
If Supreme Court Justices followed our Constitution instead of twisting interpretations to enable ideological agendas, this would be a non issue. Basically, the dems are saying they will pack the court with Justices that will rule in their favor no matter what our Constitution says.
Demographics is destiny and the GOP is on the losing end of the demographic race...
These idiots did not learn when they ended the cloture rule for 60 votes because of senator Harry Ried. This will bite them on the ass as well. The Republicans will win and can pack the court with 9 new conservative justices for a total of 18 so liberals will never win again. How did court packing go for FDR? Democrats are so unhinged and stupid and will bring this country to blows until they stop the rhetoric or just get obliterated at the poles and on the streets if they don’t stop their violence. It will be met with more than they can handle or tolerate.
How did unilaterally abolishing the filibuster for presidential appointments work out for the democrats? Are they really too stupid to understand what goes around comes around?
The next time the democrats control the Presidency, the House and the Senate they will pack the Court regardless of what the Republicans do now. Then, the next time the Republicans control the Presidency and both houses of Congress they will retaliate by repacking the Court. Eventually, there will be more Supreme Court Justices than there are Congresscritters.
Trum needs to conterstrike here by outlining the follwing plan:
1. Nominate one justice before the election
2. Add three more justices in 2021
3. Vow to Add Kanye West as one of the 3 added in 2021
4. reduce the number of SC Justices down to 1 in 2022
5. Make Kanye the sole SC justice, just for the LOL’s
Stop being afraid of the dementia team of Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi.
That's a big IF! Whether Trump nominates a replacement SC justice now or he waits until he wins reelection and the Dems lose the House and more seats on the Senate, he will STILL be naming a new justice. Won't they have to change the Constitution to pack the court anyway??? How's that going to happen with a majority Conservative court? Bunch of crybaby losers!
“If he holds a vote in 2020, we pack the court in 2021,” Rep. Joe Kennedy III, D-Mass., tweeted on Saturday. “It’s that simple.”
Ok Joe, we have a definition for you and your parties actions:
“Sedition is a serious felony punishable by fines and up to 20 years in prison and it refers to the act of inciting revolt or violence against a lawful authority with the goal of destroying or overthrowing it. The following provides an overview of this particular crime against the government, with historical references.“

Or better yet. Have 2 Supreme Courts. Why have just one?
As I’ve said before, if Democrats think it’s OK to pack the Court, Trump should do so tomorrow, with 1000 justices who will immediately rule further packing to be unconstitutional.
What makes them so sure they’ll have a chance to do so, in 2021????
Don’t the RATs have to have power to do this? Do they know they don’t have power?
The Dems are the party of all kinds of Packing, why would the Supreme Court be any different.
Dems: luggage, to get from riot to riot
fudge
SCOTUS
Repubs only have one kind: Heat
Look the Democratic Party has gone off the rails and is now full on psychotic leftist Marxist anarchist nut balls
My most famous saying is “more free speech”
Let these moron leftist idiot Democrats state all of these opinions far and wide ! and finally wake up their voters to how stupid they are to vote for these people
Unfortunately for us sensitive constitutional conservatives there is a good sizable 30% of the population that actually likes all of this craziness
The Dems owe China the Supreme Court.
And they promise to deliver!
Omg. These congressmen and women are leading the example of complete lunacy. No wonder democrats are acting like 2 year olds having tantrums. Their reps are encouraging it as if it’s the right thing to do.
It feels like they are All demon possessed
Can we pack with conservatives, especially 2nd amendment favoring gun owners?
