Message Subject IMPORTANT MUST READ :SENATE OVER STEP Senate Dems deliver stunning warning to Supreme Court: ‘Heal’ or face restructuring

Several high-profile Senate Democrats warned the Supreme Court in pointed terms this week that it could face a fundamental restructuring if justices do not take steps to "heal" the court in the near future.

The ominous and unusual warning was delivered as part of a brief filed Monday in a case related to a New York City gun law. Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, Richard Durbin, D-Ill., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., referenced rulings by the court's conservative majority in claiming it is suffering from some sort of affliction which must be remedied

"The Supreme Court is not well. And the people know it," the brief said. "Perhaps the Court can heal itself before the public demands it be 'restructured in order to reduce the influence of politics.'"

The last part was quoting language from a Quinnipiac University poll, in which 51 percent favored such restructuring. In the same poll, 55 percent believed the Supreme Court was "motivated by politics" more than by the law.

They can't remove the sitting Justices, but they can pass laws adding more justices to the bench. Of course, that isn't going to work without Senate or Presidential approval so the Dems are banking on taking the House, Senate and WH again and getting a filibuster proof majority in Senate. Although they likely won't need the filibuster proof majority, they would just ignore that rule (something McConnel refused to do) and pass the bill anyway.

But the Dems have a lot of nerve threatening the SC like they are to see things their way, and ignore the Constitution.
