Democrats Hound Biden To Pack The Supreme Court, Establish Term Limits After More Decisions They Don’t Like

[Pappadave1]

The GOP were also the idiots that refused any birth control to be involved in our foreign aid so the place is full of idiots like you, The world has too damn many people. It's Republicans who love the illegals working here, so easily bullied and cheap,,,,

Wrong. The GOP only prohibited foreign aid from being used for ABORTIONS. Those aren't "birth control" although some ignorant women USE them for that purpose.

They were babies from the instant of conception. If you merely left them alone, they would have emerged fully-formed as human babies. They wouldn't have been earthworms, rabbits or antelopes. They would have been (and always were} human babies.

I'll go with the Supreme Court rather than brainwashed functional moron religious nuts. Heard of separation of church and state? Work on that for a while will you?

It's YOU who are FOS. Republicans only prohibit our aid money from being used to finance ABORTIONS. They fully support "family planning" as long as it doesn't include killing babies in the womb.

Dont Taz me bro, you're correct; some Democrats want to pack, and/or establish term limits upon U.S. Supreme Court justices. However no credible politician is urging Biden to do so. Stupidity is not limited to only one political party or one side of our congressional chambers' aisles.​

Many Republican members of congress believed the 2020 presidential election was, and the 2016 election wasn't “stolen”; Although much fewer of them publicly repeat that same stupid accusation.​

Republicans twice nominated Donald Trump for the presidency. He said “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue [in NYC,] and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters ...”. Thus far many, (if not a majority of) Republicans are continuing to indicate that statement may be essentially correct.

Actually, Trump never said that, but some MSN "pundit" said it ABOUT him.

Throughout the most of the 20th century the court system was used by the left to push through what were unpopular agendas at their time that they could never get done through Congress. Yet, at no point, when their agenda was being forced on the country via judicial fiat did they call the courts illegitimate, did they demand increasing the size and packing the Supreme Court with sympathetic judges, or adding term limits. In fact, they only time they did this was when they didn't get their way. FDR was famous for bullying the courts. He threatened the Court regularly, especially after striking down his New Deal package. He went so far as to advocate for a mandatory retirement age which would result in new court appointments he would be able to make, but even members of his own party were too skittish to move forward with that. His threats were enough, however, to get Justice Owen Roberts to flip his initial rulings and side with the leftists on the court to allow these new programs through.

Probably, the most egregious case of judicial activism was in 1973 when Roe v Wade was decided by the Berger Court, completely fabricated a right to privacy, that never existed in the 14th Amendment, so that they could push their own will on the American people. Many people, including abortion activists, were upset with how this decision was derived, but again, no demands for court packing by the Democratic Party. This has been followed by plenty of other poorly made decisions over the years, such as Kelo v New London and the upholding of ObamaCare, both of which greatly expanded the role of government. Yet again, no demands for changes to the court by the Democratic Party.

Fast forward to a point when a more conservative court is now shifting back towards originalism and the left is up to their old antics again, screeching about their legitimacy, warning us about how the Court is a "threat" to democracy. The Supreme Court only seems to be a threat to the American way of life when the left doesn't get their way. Congressman Ro Khanna seems to be taking a page from FDR in advising that Biden run for reelection by adding SCOTUS term limits to his platform.



The danger in this, of course, is that this will kick off a permanent politicization (moreso than it already is) of the Court for years, even decades, to come. We're already seeing this initial creep with the presidential impeachment process. There is another problem with Khanna's comments. It's not the job of SCOTUS to have "understanding of modern American life." Their job is to enforce the Constitution as written. We have an amendment process to keep up with the changing times, but it's rarely used. Instead, the courts have been hijacked over the years with activist jurists to fast track policy changes the public aren't necessarily ready for and we've seen the result of that. Every election year of my life and every federal high court appointment has been a bloody fight between pro-choice and pro-life advocates. This could have been avoided if the Berger court had simply done their job, ruled against Roe and said this was a job for Congress, not the courts, and let things play out over time. We shouldn't have a politicized court. If the justices on the Court are doing their jobs we should have more 9-0 decisions and less 5-4. Judges who can't understand their role, shouldn't be there.

When you have a Banana Dictator running a Banana Republic, you have to expect him and his monkey advisors to go Bananas.

I'm still not seeing the problem.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Wait, I know a better plan!

Once a congress-critter reaches a net worth of 5 million over what they were worth when they first obtained office they will not be eligible for re-election.

I'm a fuckin' genius!

You obviously didn't hear him say "That's what people are saying about me." Meaning the MSM "pundits."

Some do, from what I've seen. That's a bit of a stain on her legacy.

Ruth VADER Ginsberg IS a stain on her legacy.

Republicans used every means possible to build this activist right wing Court.

They have ruled against decades of progress...removed rights for the first time ever in the SC.

Yes...it's time to expand the Court

Yes! Expand the court. Put 10 more justices on the court, then when the right takes over again, they can add 20 more…at some point, maybe we could have a Supreme Court with 1500 justices…I’d love to see that! Cases before scotus would take months to argue.

Make it happen!

Yup, let’s do that now
