Editor’s note to Liz - Could you work in the word “threaten” a few more times?
It is just plain painful.
Let’s not and say we did.
The Court has been doing that for the last sixty years. How does expanding it change anything?
...nobody listens.
Thank you Senator Karen.
BUT let's go back...In 1900, abortion was a felony in every state. That's precedence based on truth....you are killing a human being.
More threats to democracy lizzy?
Sorry, it’s not a person’s right to choose, what you
have created is a woman’s right to choose and you have
ignored and destroyed any rights the male has in the
off spring.
Where is the “equity” in that liz?
Not to even mention the rights of the child.
Imagine 60,000,000 more tax payers, 60,000,000 more
productive citizens...
The Supreme Court is not a legislative body, though it has often been used for that purpose. Expanding the numbers of the unelected members of that court serves in no way to take that function away from the judiciary.
Only two questions should concern the court, neither of which includes drawing up legislative goals and rationalizing those applications. One is, is it Constitutional. The other is, why the legislative branch does not formulate a body of law that achieves the objectives of a changing world.
US population in 1929 (when 435 reps was solidified): 121,767,000 (~280,000 people/representative)
US population today: 332,990,000 (apparently not including ~40 million illegals) (~765,000 people/representative)
Federal budget as a percentage of GDP in 1929: 3.02% (.0069% of GDP per representative)
Federal budget as a percentage of GDP in 2020: 31.35% (.072% per representative)
I think I know where the true threat to our democratic republic is, Fauxahontas.
Live by the kritarchy, die by the kritarchy.
If you can’t win, change the rules. That is the mantra of the looney left.
“......the current court threatens the democratic foundations of our nation...”
The current court DEFINES the democratic foundations of our nation...
“I don’t come to this conclusion lightly or because I disagree with a particular decision;”
Lie.
“I believe in an independent judiciary.”
Independent judiciary being defined as voting according to her wishes.
She is such a shallow-minded idiot. I would have thought that Native Americans could offer up something better than her as their representative.
I don’t come to this conclusion ....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.

The Boston Glib has a lot of damn gall to lie to the public like that.
1.They tell us that the current Supreme Court is a threat to our democracy. However, the current Court was duly appointed according to this country’s highest law, the Constitution. This is the court chosen by the people. Altering it would be a threat to our democracy.
2. The Constitution has only two things to say about abortion, 1) that criminal law is reserved to the states, and 2) that all power not assigned to the federal government (including federal courts) is ‘reserved to the states and to the people respectively.”
Roe v. Wade was a Constitutionally incorrect decision besides being morally repugnant. We aren’t bantering about a “woman’s right to choose” something about her own body. The concept is a blatant lie. We’re talking about the premeditated taking of a human life.
“Established precedent” is established by the Supreme Court. If a Supreme Court can rule one way on an issue then a Supreme Court can reverse that ruling.
Lizzy is in a tizzy. For once, the conservatives can out-do the radicals and they absolutely can’t stand it.
This is but a hint of what they’ll endure a year from now in the 2022 House and Senate elections. Sucks to be you.
Waaaaa!
