Dems think empty SC seats should be filled ASAP regardless of being an election year. Brilliant!

pennywise

Markey’s former Senate primary opponent, Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D-Mass.), reiterated his argument, writing in a tweet Saturday, “If he [McConnell] holds a vote in 2020, we pack the court in 2021. It’s that simple.”

Re: Top Democrats threaten to pack Supreme Court if Trump fills RBG seat
A rising number of prominent Democrats are speaking out in favor of “packing” the Supreme Court as fears mount over the impending reality that the nation’s highest bench will soon hold a considerable conservative majority.

As the country mourned the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday, President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said they would move forward on a vote for her replacement.

The idea sparked fury in the Democratic party, leading numerous prominent figures to voice their support for court “packing,” or filling the nation’s highest bench with more than the original nine judges.

“Mitch McConnell set the precedent. No Supreme Court vacancies filled in an election year. If he violates it, when Democrats control the Senate in the next Congress, we must abolish the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court,” Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) tweeted Friday.

that would require a Constitutional Amendedment, I think.

the Democrats don't got that kind of political currency.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45385951


No, FDR did it. The common thinking is in dem circles for the last 4 years has been they can add as many justices as they want/need once they have the presidency and the senate. What nobody mentions is that this actually makes the courts meaningless, if they can just be packed with puppets any time you want to start doing unconstitutional stuff. At that point, they are no longer an independent arbiter of the constitution, they are just cronies.

They attempt to pack the court....

I foresee a sharp rise in the packing of crematoriums, cemeteries, light posts, and trees.

Kangaroo court at that point, and will be treated as such.

Re: Top Democrats threaten to pack Supreme Court if Trump fills RBG seat
they cant pack the court unless they win the 2020 election.

now get this, so the Dems and Biden want us to wait till after the election (they think Biden will win).

so you see they are doing all that they can regarding the election of a new supreme judge.. they are not waiting till the election to get their efforts done. NO, but they want us Republicans to wait..

they are not waiting. just watch and see what they are doing. trying to impeach Barr and Trump.. ha! they wont prevail.

the point is that the Dems are not waiting till after the election AND plotting to do what they can to make everything Demoncrapic.

i don't think the Constitution allows more than 9 supremes. but they might try to change that if they should win.

don't be nice Trump, be brave and make the choice now.

Re: Top Democrats threaten to pack Supreme Court if Trump fills RBG seat
Looks like the Democrats are now considering NOT voting and passing the continuing resolution to fund the government! That means no funding for the Senate and NO hearings or vote for President Trumps SCOTUS nomination. Technically a within the constitution right to not fund past 30 Sept which would block the Senate and the President...

WORSE means no GOV funding...just like last time and no federal checks...everything shut down until the Democrats get what they want...

So Trump wins reelection... Republicans gain control of House and Senate then give DemonRATs a dose of their own medicine.
And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause. 4And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. 5But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. 6And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.

Re: Top Democrats threaten to pack Supreme Court if Trump fills RBG seat
Ruth Bader Ginsburg chided the Senate in 2016 for failing to fill Antonin Scalia’s Supreme Court seat until after Election Day — in contrast to her own deathbed plea that it now wait until after the 2020 vote to replace her.

Ginsburg, 87, who died from pancreatic cancer on Friday, reportedly told her granddaughter Clara Spera that her “most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.”

Four years earlier, Fox News noted, she had a different take.

Re: Top Democrats threaten to pack Supreme Court if Trump fills RBG seat
Mitch McConnell doesn't decide when a president nominates a Supreme Court pick, and neither do the democrats. All these asshats need to just shut their stupid off, and do their damn jobs. And of course we have the usual butthurt democrats pretending that if their person wasn't president, and they held the Senate, that they wouldn't be picking a nominee and voting on it before the election. It's all democrats do all day, every day, pretend not to know things.
