    I can't deny something I never said. In other words you have no evidence I ever made the statement? You need to read my posts more carefully and not make unwarranted assumptions.

    Never said it did. That is why I said "The states cannot set the number of justices on the Supreme Court because that is the function of Congress."

    Changing ("Adjusting") the number of judges has to be done according to the Constitution. It is called "packing" when those on the other side don't like it.

    If Democrats add 3 justices to the Supreme Court they will call that "adjusting" and Republicans will call it "packing."

    Hey Shit-For-Brains!

    Voting is a Democratic Process! IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN UNTIL NOW THAT DONALD TRUMPO HAS TRIED TO TURN IT INTO A SCAM!

    The Supreme Court is a Democratic Process! WELL IT WAS INTENDED TO BE UNTIL DONALD TRUMP CORRUPTED THE COURT!

    And when the Democrats take back the Senate- WE WILL LEGISLATE TO INSURE IT REMAINS A DEMOCRATIC PROCESS!

    YOU GOT IT?

    Abortion was legal under different circumstances in 20 states before Roe.

    I may regret this....but did God tell you abortion is immoral? What is your moral system?

    Don't be a pussy. You don't have to regret anything. Just try to be brave and take some answers.

    My moral system holds that murder is immoral. Abortion is terminating a human life - it's immoral. Do you understand?

    I understand you believe that. However, US law does not agree. It is just your opinion.

    Changing ("Adjusting") the number of judges has to be done according to the Constitution. It is called "packing" when those on the other side don't like it.
    Nope. It's not called 'packing'. Semantics fallacy.

    Democrats cannot add justices to the supreme court. They do not control a sufficient number of seats in Congress or the White House.

    US law also prohibits illegal immigration. Where the fuck have you been with all that?

    See, perverts like you ignore everything that doesn't fit into your politics. You're the worst kind of person there is.

    Roll that up and smoke it for a while.

    Maybe you read the Constitution like you read my posts--you add, omit, or misinterpret things.

    In 200+ years the states have never sought to change the Constitution by themselves?

    Obviously they must not have any issue with the Supreme Court interpreting the Constitution, Roe v. Wade, or any of the other court decisions since they have not chosen to use their unilateral power to change it.
