Democrats preparing bill to pack Supreme Court by adding 4 Nadler

Should have thought about that when Republicans were ignoring Obama's valid nomination and jamming Ruth Ginsburgs replacement down our throats. It's war....better lube up!

Yeah..Trump tried to get a lot of crazy stuff passed but ultimately failed as Biden will as well.....
 
I believe it requires 60 votes, so it ain't happening. Even Romney won't for it.
That procedural rule can be removed if they really want to. The gloves have been off for a while now with these judges. Republicans act like they did nothing in bad faith to facilitate this which by the way I do not agree with....but I do agree that you never back down from a bully. You punch a bully back in the mouth. That's what this had turned into and I am about the smoke. Actions have consequences. These republicans held up many many many Obama nominees for court. Lower courts as well and Garland was just the more public one. You can't try to bully someone and be outraged when they punch back.
 
Terrible idea. But if the shoe was on the other foot McConnell would no doubt be trying the same exact thing. Bottom line is this bill has zero chance of becoming law.
 
ABC and the Biden administration kept it as a talking point TODAY even though it was deemed false last Thursday

The Biden administration will also expel 10 Russian personnel, amid an array of sanctions on Russian individuals, companies and the nation’s sovereign wealth.

Democrats will introduce a bill on Thursday to increase the number of justices on the Supreme Court from 9 to 13 in a major attempt at reform of the nation's highest court.
House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler and Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) will lead the introduction of the legislation while two members of Nadler's committee, representatives Hank Johnson of Georgia and Mondaire Jones of New York, will be co-sponsors.
The move has once again put the spotlight on President Joe Biden who has previously expressed opposition to so-called "court-packing," but recently announced the creation of a commission to examine potential reform of the court.


Biden has significant experience with Supreme Court nominations. He chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee from 1987 to 1995. That committee oversees the confirmation hearings for the court's justices.
In that capacity, he oversaw six nominations, including two of the most controversial—Clarence Thomas, who was confirmed and now sits on the court, and Robert Bork, who was famously rejected.
Remarks Biden made while a senator in 1983 have recently resurfaced. He was ranking minority member of the Senate Judiciary Committee at the time and criticized then President Ronald Reagan's attempt to replace three members of U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, comparing it to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's abortive efforts to add justices to the Supreme Court.
"President Roosevelt clearly had the right to send to the United States Senate and the United States Congress a proposal to pack the court. It was totally within his right to do that. He violated no law. He was legalistically, absolutely correct," Biden said at the time.

"But it was a bonehead idea," Biden went on. "It was a terrible, terrible mistake to make. And it put in question, for an entire decade, the independence of the most significant body—including the Congress included in my view—in this country, the Supreme Court of the United States of America."
Biden's 1983 comments were highlighted by Fox News, which shared CSPAN footage of his remarks.

There's no magical rule that says the court has to indefinitely have the same amount of members. Congress can easily change it as they see fit, especially if one side are going to play politics such as what happened with Garland. It will eventually get balanced out as soon as the other side are back in power.

9 becomes 13 becomes 21 becomes 33 becomes 59 becomes 147 as the USA becomes a 3rd world Banana Republic.
The sad thing is idiots like Biden, Pelosi, Harris and Shumer and other crooks really believe they are smarter than the Founding Fathers.

Please...he is a politician....lol. They are all for sale. He has no pressure on him yet and there isn't much in it for him. The numbers aren't going to stay the same either. We have mid terms. I am telling you that no republican district is safe out here after Jan 6....and all this voter suppression nonsense. This is going to motivate the base big time. Conservatives have absolutely nothing to offer. Not even conspiracy theories anymore....So, you can get comfortable if you want. You saw what happened Nov 3rd last year and what happened at the GA runoff.
