Tranquillus in Exile (04-16-2021)
Remember when conservative justice Scalia died in April of 2016? Obama still had 9 months of his second term left. But McConnell and the GOP held control of the Senate, and they decided the Constitution did not really mean Presidents could select Supreme Court justices with the advice and consent of the Senate, refusing to even give Garland an up or down vote. They refused to allow the Supreme Court to have 9 sitting justices, they decided with Obama as president, they would limit it to 8.
Fast forward to September of 2020 when Justice Ginsburg dies. Trump only had 2 months left until the election, and 4 months until he had to get the hell out of Dodge after getting his ass kicked in the election. Just 2 months before the election!! This time McConnell said a President had the right to pick a new Justice right up until he lost the election!! So they rush through Trump's pick, Amy Conan Barrett, and blew off everything they said when they refused to even give Garland a hearing.
And now they cry about the democrats basically abusing their small political edge like scalded dogs, along with fox, who said not a word when it happened under Trump.

Replacing dead or retiring justices, in already existing seats, is not "packing the court" you stupid motherfucker.
TRUMP WILL TAKE FORTY STATES...UNLESS THE SAME IDIOTS WHO BROUGHT US THE 2020 DUNCE-O-CRAT IOWA CLUSTERFUCK CONTINUE THEIR SEDITIOUS ACTIVITIES...THEN HE WILL WIN EVEN MORE ..UNLESS THE RED CHINESE AND DNC COLLUDE, USE A PANDEMIC, AND THEN THE DEMOCRATS VIOLATE ARTICLE II OF THE CONSTITUTION, TO FACILLITATE MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL, UNVETTED, MAIL IN BALLOTS IN THE DARK OF NIGHT..

read what i wrote, bitch. if you can actually read. packing the supreme court means the senate using its power to limit or increase the power of the sitting president to name Supreme Court justices, you sick ass moron asshole. When Obama was president, they voted to pack the Supreme Court with one less Justice, because of political reasons. When traitor trump was president, with only 2 months left before getting his fat creampuff ass steamrolled by Biden, they voted to pack the Supreme Court with one more Trump picked nominee.
Filling empty seats is not "packing the court."
Adding additional seats is.

Yes. I remember when he was arkancided.
Correct.
Correct.
Nope, they followed the Constitution to the letter. Their advice and consent was against Garland.
There was no need to.
Obama was unwilling to select a justice that the Senate consented to.
Nope. There were nine justices during most of Obama's term, then the Demonkkkrats arkancided Scalia, leaving eight sitting justices and one vacant spot. Obama wanted Garland, but the Senate did not consent to Garland, so the spot didn't get filled since Obama refused to appoint one that the Senate consented to.
Okay.
Yup. So?
The election faulted. No valid election was held.
Yup. So?
Yup, the very same as Obama.
Coney** Not Conan.
Trump chose Barrett to replace Ginsburg, and the Senate consented to that choice, per the Constitution.
The Demonkkkrats are trying to do something completely different. They are trying to pack the court. Packing the court means to expand the size of the court and replace it with ideologues so that they have a much easier time with legislating from the bench.Republicans did not do that. Republicans simply filled vacant seats as they became vacant. Demonkkkrats, instead, wish to add four more seats so that they can fill them with ideologues (along with the three ideologues that they already have, plus one justice that they must have some sort of blackmail on who votes with them most of the time).
