That time Biden called court-packing a 'bonehead idea'

[evince]

One of the few times I agree with you. Neither side has any interest in cooperating with the other. It has gotten worse. Actually makes me appreciate Clinton as much as I didn’t care for him on a personal level.

You backed trump and he was on tape


Just get your morals set

That was before Republicans refused to do their job. You owe us two. The other two we'll take because we think you suck.

Next?

The dems should try for two at the most. Otherwise where does this end? Eventually republicans will have control , then dems again. Someday we’ll end up with a hundred SC justices. Assuming the planet hasn’t climate changed to it’s end.

Mcconnall and the Republican Party trashed the SCOTUS reputation by holding back a legal nomination of a Democratic president out of racism


Time to restore the peoples faith in it by making the court better

Who cares what Biden says? he said he was a moderate during the campaign, now thinks he's FDR 2.0
he's a useful idiot for the Progs -nothing more
Legislation is unveilled -do you think he would sign it? in a heartbeat he would

You cared, even went back thirty years to find something he said

He is a moderate, does his proposals contain some progressive elements, yes, just as any Republican measures answers to Freedom Caucus demands, however, regardless of what the right wing media tells you, Biden’s infrastructure plan is not New Deal II, and, as Biden has said, is open to compromise

I agree with you actually. That would undo the unconstitutional decision to decline to give Garland a vote. After that, it just becomes a pissing contest. Adding two? I'm completely in favor.

McConnell/Trump packed the court with their last 2 selections. The Dems have a way to rectify the judges placed by lying and cheating. All of a sudden, the reds have principles.

There is no set number of Judges, it has gone between five to ten Justices in different times in history, and in most cases the changes were due to politics, so there is precedent

I believe the thought behind the rush to expand the Court now is due largely to McConnell’s making a mockery of the appointee process. First, he broke all tradition in not extending Garland even a hearing, next he made it a majority vote, and finally rammed thru the last nomination in record time weeks before the election.

The Democrats feeling is, Mitch f*cked this whole process up, so why not, plus the realization he would do the same in a moments notice

Personally, I think the Court should be an even number of Judges, let the case’s arguments decide the verdict thereby removing politics

But what would happen when there are even splits?

Sure they were, Bret’s position should have been Obama’s nominee, and to make it even easier, Mitch changes the rules to insure his choices went thru thereby getting the last out in record time weeks before an election.

Might have been by a different means, but it sure as hell was court packing

Then the arguments bought before the Court did not sway a majority, no action is taken
