They have done this in the past and it was a total FU.
Tried it. Was over ruled
They should expand it to 100, two from each state....
Or maybe 435, with one from each House district....
Typical of the Progressives - pack the courts by changing the law so that you can.
For anyone who is interested, THIS judicial chicanery is at the heart of the EU disputes with the government of Poland.
The government of Poland is the first real Conservative government of Poland since the end of the Soviet era.
The opposition KNEW they were going to lose the election to the parties that now run the government.
So at the 11th hour, on their way out the door, the opposition expanded the nation’s top court and immediately appointed their own appointees to the new positions.
The current government enacted legislation that (1) nullified those new positions, and (2) added into law certain operations rules of the top court. The changes of rules of the court was something that the opposition had also done when they expanded the court in the 11th hour of their reign.
The current government also began impeaching or removing judges who were former party or government officials of the Communist government of Poland during the Soviet era - something no previous government of Poland since that era had done. Why had no previous government of Poland done that? Many in the previous governments of Poland were Marxists who had simply taken off their Communist label they had been proud to wear during the Soviet era, and self-adopted a “socialist” or some sort of Liberal label.
No mass change of the sitting judges had been made upon the fall of the Communist government, and new “democratic” governments never removed those judges who were their old friends.
The new government was not blind to the treacherous history of their nation’s governments since the Soviet era. They are correcting that history.
The EU is upset, because it too is dominated by folks whose only objections to the Soviet Union was its military threat, but whose politics was never a big issue with those on the Left in western Europe.
The current head of the EU is a former president of Poland who was cozy with Marxists in Poland who had worked in the Communist government, and then merely changed their labels when it fell.
The Dem Calculus does assume that they are going to end up in a more or less permanent majority due to mass immigration and young’uns being indoctrinated in socialism.
Yeah, go ahead and give that a try Donkeys. See how it works out for you.
Since 2016 the dems rarely put forth a policy proposal that is workable. And don’t say the Green New Deal. That this “New Deal” was their only policy proposal put forth since 2016 says it all. Instead, they are always in the news for a “let’s rig this so we win” proposal.
End the Electoral College,
Allow Illegals to Vote,
Automatic voter registration, no doubt followed by automatic or mandatory voting,
Forced ranked balloting,
Legalize Vote Harvesting (in states where they dominate ONLY, otherwise, complain about it in states where they do not dominate),
End Gerrymandering (In States where they can do so to favor them and by judicial fiat, think PA),
Rig social media to only accept their messages,
Put the Deep State above the elected states,
And now they promote this: Let’s expand the Supreme Court to whatever number is necessary to ensure that we are the majority.
Heads they win, tails they sorta lose, but either way, they win, OR ELSE. Or else they will just find a prosecutor to go all “Robert Mueller” on yer arse. Trust me, you have done something wrong. Probably not what they will accuse you of, but the initial accusation will only be to get the process rolling.
The Democrat Party stands for one thing, Totalitarianism. We can’t live this way and call ourselves free.
As is Lynch.

Right now they are hoping that RBG will survive until next January, and then they can say that Trump cannot nominate a replacement until the election (which they are sure he will lose).
Where is RBG?
Do you know when the Republican Party its largest majority after 1950 elected to the House of Representatives?
2014.
I was really surprised to learn this. The 2014 midterm elections gave the GOP a larger House majority than they had after the historic 1994 "Republican Revolution" election. Some of the demographic trends related to immigrants might be surprising. Most Hispanics I know, for example, voted for Trump in 2016.
Eric Holder is an idiot! Apparently, he has not been watching what Harry Reid did with the nuclear option and how it is being used by the Republicans now. The man is a fool!
Correctomundo.
Exactly. There is nothing “far fetched” about it as the article suggests. If they get the power to do it, they will. A combination of behavior indicates they are going for 1-party rule.
If Obie hadn’t lost the Senate...
