Expand the Supreme Court
BOSTON GLOBE ^ | 12/15/2021 | elizabeth warren

I don’t come to this conclusion lightly or because I disagree with a particular decision; I come to this conclusion because I believe the current court threatens the democratic foundations of our nation.

This month, a majority of justices on the United States Supreme Court signaled their willingness to gut one of the court’s most important decisions over the past century, threatening to eliminate Roe v. Wade and a person’s right to choose.

This is not the first time this extremist court has threatened, or outright dismantled, fundamental rights in this country. For years, the Supreme Court’s conservative majority — recently supercharged to 6-3 — has issued decision after decision that veers away from both basic principles of law and widely held public opinion.

With each move, the court shows why it’s important to restore America’s faith in an independent judiciary committed to the rule of law. To do that, I believe it’s time for Congress to yet again use its constitutional authority to expand the number of justices on the Supreme Court. I don’t come to this conclusion lightly or because I disagree with a particular decision; I come to this conclusion because I believe the current court threatens the democratic foundations of our nation.

The rest of her screed is behind a paywall.

This was enough to garner a chuckle, though..

Such intellectual dishonesty. Everyone, and I mean everyone - knows that if liberals had a majority on the Court she would never be advocating for packing the Court. Proof of this is she has heretofore never called for court packing in a Republican administration.

As usual, when Communists can't win the want to change all the rules to favor them.

Democratic foundations of our country= “our democracy”= the left rules, you shut the off up and don’t bring up that Constitution thingy anymore unless it is to warp it for our purposes.

Elizabeth Warren really is annoying btw. She just exudes annoying.

Better idea. Start adhering to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as written. If you don’t like it, you are free to find a country that is more to your liking.

“I come to this conclusion because I believe the current court threatens the democratic foundations of our nation.”

No, the current court is not made up of a majority of communist super legislators.

That’s your problem with it Karen.

“...the current court threatens the democratic foundations of our nation. “

~~~

This is actually leftist dog-whistle for destroying the foundations of your constitutional structure.

Whenever some idiot doesn’t agree with the supreme court, even when they are acting directly within their constitutional purview (or most particularly when they are within it), they want to tear it down and change it.

I love how every time a leftist wants to change the rules in their own favor, they do so by saying it’s someone else who did it.

[[or because I disagree with a particular decision;]]

Then he says:

[[I come to this conclusion because I believe the current court threatens the democratic foundations of our nation. ]]

The very first paragraph is a blatant lie. SHe came to her native American conclusion precisely because she disagrees with how the court is ruling on issues she supports

They love to pretend they are bipartisan, znd only loo,ing out for the best interests of the nation. The woman can’t speak without lying through her teeth apparently-

The deep state wrote the article and let Three Karens put her name to it.

It’s a propaganda machine.

Senator Karen is wrong.
SCOTUS has shown it cannot be trusted (except in Malta)
and does not deserve to exist anymore outside of Malta.

“I believe it’s time for Congress to yet again use its constitutional authority”

Well, there are some who believe court packing violates the necessary and proper clause.

Whenever a leftist accuses someone else of doing something destructive in government, be sure that it is THEY who are doing it. A reliable axiom.

"I don’t come to this conclusion lightly or because I disagree with a particular decision..."

What horseshit! Of course you did. You're scared to death that Roe v. Wade will be overturned, so you promote expanding the court, in order to get the decision you want. It won't be overturned, because the court is mostly full of gutless wonders. So don't worry Lizzie, you and the rest of Satan's spawn will be allowed to continue your mass murder of innocent babies, unabated.
