How many think this is a good idea? Sure does seem like he’s not living up to those campaign promises .......
Court Packing
- Thread starter dannyford
- Start date
Exactly......republicans will just continue the cycle once/if they take back control.
Wonder if the same CEO’s will stand up against this like they are the voting rules in GA..........
Would much prefer term limits for justices. Not a fan of adding to the court.
I would agree. RBG was 87 when she passed. We absolutely shouldn't have someone almost 25 years passed retirement age ruling on some of the most critically important legal disputes for the whole of the nation.
The entire point of the supreme court is to avoid all political and emotional bias when ruling over cases. Adding justices is nothing more than a political stunt to ensure control.
House democrats have formally introduced a bill to pack the court. They want to:
To get a sense of how unpopular this extreme legislation is, CNN is barely covering it on their website. Hopefully the pack the court whackos remain on the fringe of the democrat party.
- Increase the number of justices from 9 to 13
- Have Biden appoint the 4 new justices
- Eliminate the filibuster in the senate to get this approved

I see this as a trial balloon only for now, but it won't and shouldn't get enough support to get it passed.
Easy drama queens.
1. It was "shockingly partisan" when the repubs refused to hold hearings for Garland because it was an election year (nine months before the election) and then rushed to hold hearings for Barrett a month before the election in 2020. Get out of here with that BS.
2. Nancy Pelosi has already said she has no current intention to take this legislation to the floor. People draft legislation all the time that doesnt get a vote.
3. It is being covered on CNN homepage with about 9 articles.
Shocked that the party that stuffs a ballot boxes would try to stuff the Supreme Court as well.
1. Okay
2. Good for her
3. There wasn't much when I briefly checked earlier. Significantly more prominent coverage about who is attending Price Phillip's funeral.
I could get behind this. I'd rather see a mandatory retirement age around ~70-72.
Just Democrats looking for another way to cheat.
Civil war is coming soon.
