BREAKING: House and Senate Dems Plan Bill To Pack The Court, Adding Four Justices
Red Voice Media ^ | 04/14/2021 | RAY DIETRICH

Democrats in both the House and Senate are reportedly constructing legislation to be released on Thursday to pack the Supreme Court, adding four justices.

The Intercept reported, “The bill would add four seats to the high court, bringing the total to 13, from the current 9. The number of justices on the Court has fluctuated widely throughout the course of the nation’s history. Republicans currently hold 6 seats, while Democrats hold just 3 after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg and the quick confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett.”

The bill is reportedly being led by Rep. Jerry Nadler, Rep. Hank Johnson, and Rep. Mondair Jones in the house. In the Senate, it is being led by Sen. Ed Markey.

“You have no idea how bad FDR was.”

Well, I don’t all the details of his bad acts, but I know he did as little as possible to save the Jews from the Nazis. He wanted to beat Germany, of course, but he didn’t want to be bothered with too many pesky Hebrews as part of the process which is just depraved.

Gotta say, the folks here are much more sober than the commenters over at Instanpundit. I’m not sure how to feel about that!

I've never paid much attention to Truman....so I really can't speak abut him. I just know I've never seen such terrible and nasty politics as what the Demorats are pulling ..and they have no concern whatsoever what the public thinks about their actions...none at all. They have one agenda...securing power now and for any future ahead that comes.

No, they only need a majority in both the House and Senate to pass the legislature.

But, if the filibuster remains in tact, they'd need 60 votes to end get a vote of the legislation.

Look for Mitch to agree to support TWO not four, and then brag about the victory.

Which would make Roberts the swing vote again! George W. and Karl Rove would endorse that.

Harris illegitimate? After Obama was okayed by the judiciary’s refusal to grant standing in dozens of cases? My guess is that a four year old from Honduras whose coyote today threw her over the wall in Nogales is on track to be POTUS c. 2060.

Time for most of us to acknowledge that the Constitution which we revered for our lifetime is now just one of many reference materials in the Supreme Court’s library with the Little Red Book, Rules for Radicals and The Collected Writings of Lenin.

non starter, just BS to trigger conservatives. Manchin has already stated he wont support this. They don’t have the votes.

PERIOD.

Stop letting libs attempt to trigger you with stories like this nonsense.

she's not constitutionally eligible

... and when the time comes to replace Bidama, the DEMS themselves will call her on it. She'll be out in a hurry, and the replacement will be anyone's guess. Temporarily, at least, it will be Pelosi?

Do you honestly think they were gonna allow us to win in GA? Stop blaming the GOP for being upset and refusing to participate in the runoff. Nothing we did was ever gonna change the outcome thanks to the Dominion system.

The socialist-democrats under the tutelage of the Beijing Biden administration are on a roll. They’re in a real hurry to ram there socialist agenda through. Something is definitely up.

What will they bribe Joe Manchin to pass this one? In fact I bet we will see a few senators hold out for bribes as was the case with Obamacare.

Also they will have to end the filibuster as there is no way this can be tacked onto a reconciliation bill.

Hard to see this getting 51 votes but nothing is impossible.

I’ll put it another way. Some of the Democrats are psychopaths (called narcissists by some, anti-social personalities by others). They are addicted to bothering or controlling other people. When we get upset, they feel rewarded for their behavior.

People like them are never satisfied, although they continue to be addicted to bothersome behavior like spoiled children. And it gets them more notoriety and votes from twisted, and in this case, foreign-minded voters in their states.

But let’s say it did pass. Then what? The Supreme Court would be seen as a purely radical political organ by all. Most of the people by far do not want that, especially people with real political and judicial respect and sway.

“Now that’s funny. FDR was our first socialist President.”

It was probably Woodrow Wilson. FDR was the first successful socialist president at implementing his policies.

“They need 2/3rds to pass both houses. Never going to happen.”

Why do they need 2/3rds? It’s not a constitutional amendment. I was wondering if they would need 60 in the Senate.

I agree, though, that it won’t happen. Heck, if it got through Congress Biden may veto it since Biden set up a Commission to study it and make recommendations to to Slow Joe.
