Ginsburg opposed court-packing, said 'nine seems to be a good number'

[evince]

Biden should unilaterally install the court of his choosing including the number of justices that he wants as well.
While he has that court and the military, he must permanently destroy the Republican Party so that it's never a factor in American Politics again.
If it takes a purge that makes the 20th Century Stalin and Hitler duo look like the tag team of St. Francis of Assisi and Mother Teresa, so be it.

If he doesn't do that, the next Republican majority will doubtlessly do it to us because that's clearly the way it works now.
Biden either saves the decency of America right now, by whatever means necessary,
or we descend into total dystopia very, very soon. It's already started.

There's nothing worse than being in the midst of a world changing crisis and not realizing it or not having the courage to do anything about it.
THERE ARE NO MODERATE SOLUTIONS TO RADICAL PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!

Chill chill chill

Trust the founders

The judiciary often saves us


We now have lovers of our democracy voted into to most power places


Propaganda from Fucks news is not enough to destroy America


Make the racist scatter into the sewers


It’s already begun


They are selling each other out to the cops

It comes from being burned. "Once burned, twice shy."

From that comes a personal motto of never trusting someone who lies to your face.

Thank you for admitting you are not using facts to say those things


The Democratic Party has done nothing but save your ass dude

If it works for me too, great!

In a 2019 interview with NPR, Ginsburg addressed the idea that has gained momentum among Democrats in recent years.

"I have heard that there are some people on the Democratic side who would like to increase the number of judges," Ginsburg said. "I think that was a bad idea when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt tried to pack the court."

DEMOCRATS TO PROPOSE LEGISLATION EXPANDING THE SUPREME COURT

Roosevelt's plan, she recalled, was for a president to be able to add a justice for every one on the court who stayed beyond the age of 70, which would have allowed him to immediately add six, bringing the roster to 15.

Ginsburg had noted that with no set number in the Constitution, the court has had as few as five and as many as 10 justices.



Ginsburg explained that expanding the Supreme Court so a president could load the bench with like-minded jurists would politicize the high court and erode its independence.

GOP REPS ANNOUNCE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO KEEP SUPREME COURT AT 9 'BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE'

"If anything would make the court appear partisan it would be that," she said. "One side saying when we’re in power we’re going to enlarge the number of judges so we’ll have more people who will vote the way we want them to. So I am not at all in favor of that solution to what I see as a temporary situation."

Justice Stephen Breyer, one of the current liberals on the Supreme Court, also argued against court-packing when addressing Harvard Law School earlier this month.

"What I’m trying to do is to make those whose instincts may favor important structural change or other similar institutional changes such as forms of court-packing to think long and hard before they embody those changes in law," Breyer said.

Breyer cautioned that such a move could damage the public's trust in the court., which "is guided by legal principle, not politics."

This is a repeat post

So what, Mitch said Supreme Court nominees shouldn't be considered in an election year and then he went ahead and did one in record time less than a month before the election

What facts would you like to see that justifies my distrust of people who lie, mislead and often seek only to benefit themselves to the detriment of others?

Disagreed on the DNC.

The nation is way more liberal than it seems


The republicans have been cooking the books in elections for dacades

If they have no power there is nothing for them to cook


It’s why they started fox

Because the news was too liberal


Meaning the news was telling people their crimes


Just like now


But Fucks News lies for them

[christiefan915]

I agree with RuRu.

[evince]

Founders increased the court themselves at time guys

[reagansghost]

Understood. So what happens when the Republicans use the same logic in 8 to 12 years? Two more justices? You'll worry about that then?

When the GOP stops stealing SCOTUS justices the Dems will chill

[War=Peace]

I agree with RuRu.

Apparently the commies wanna play, they forgot about the "Fuck you" and bullets factor.
This is America.

STFU you ignorant wench!

[Matt Dillon]

There's nothing wrong with liberals. Commie fucktards that wanna fuck over Americans, I have a problem with.

[Old Trapper]

Chill chill chill

Trust the founders

The Founders are dead, and their methods died with them. We now have oligarchs, and corporatists, in control, and I seriously doubt they are interested in the welfare of the commpo0n man. Hell, even during the pandemic the wealth of the 1% increased by 2 Trillion dollars while the wealth of the 90% increased by a whopping 7% due to the stimulus. If one were to look at Walmart, The employees took home 1.6 billion while the 4 owners of the Walton family took home 40.7 Billion. Amazon? Employees received 1.8 Billion, Bezos, 75.6 Billion. And the right wing says they can't afford a 15 dollar minimum wage. If the wages of the working person had increased at the same rate as the wealth of the 1% it would be around $27.50 an hour.
