After watching Mitch McConnell transform the judiciary over the past four years, liberals are demanding a bold response. And Democrats are listening.

Sens. Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren and Kirsten Gillibrand told POLITICO they would not rule out expanding the Supreme Court if elected president, showcasing a new level of interest in the Democratic field on an issue that has until recently remained on the fringes of debate.

The surprising openness from White House hopefuls along with other prominent Senate Democrats to making sweeping changes — from adding seats to the high court to imposing term limits on judges and more — comes as the party is eager to chip away at the GOP’s growing advantage in the courts.

“We are on the verge of a crisis of confidence in the Supreme Court,” said Harris (D-Calif.). “We have to take this challenge head on, and everything is on the table to do that.”

The communist left will stop at nothing for absolute power.

 

[Auld Phart]

Maybe they'll have better luck than FDR

If they become the president, declare a national emergency and expand the court. Easy.

I agree that it’s a ridiculous idea but the ridiculous is now the norm in Trump’s America. We currently have a President who thinks he can rape someone and then pardon himself.

Not at all. It's smart political strategy to combat cheaters.

Hilarious.

who cheated?

The republicans. Top to bottom. They are cheaters and exploiters and the democrats should pull all the stops. Then, once the white men are crying like little bitches, maybe we can finally have a discussion of our messed up system. You can believe it wont happen until then.

Top to bottom. They are cheaters and exploiters

Just like their counterparts in the 'democratic' party.


at what age did they wash your brain?

 

[LeeOnLido]

what? create a new supreme court with 13 judges? all hand picked by the democrats? no hearings?

/-----/ "who cheated?"
Anyone who beats a democRAT is a cheater.

Hmm,no, the repbicans have been much worse lately. But the dems will catch up soon. And then the real pissing and moaning will begin.

It is pretty easy to see how we could get to this point when this has become the norm for political debate.

We hold the power.

 

[easyt65]

If they can not get the opportunity to put judges on the existing court, I guess they figure as soon as they have another House, Senate, and President they will just add new seats to the USSC so their President can fill them all....

It's sorta like what Hillary demonstrated in the 2016 DNC Primaries - if you can't win legally by following the rules - break the rules / make up your own rules.

 

[Auld Phart]

what? create a new supreme court with 13 judges? all hand picked by the democrats? no hearings?

one problem with that.

Trump is still going to be the one nominating justices, and the hearings are in the Senate, not the House, so it will be Republicans approving of them.

They should wait, til they have a chance of getting what they want.

So looks like Ginsburg is about to kick the bucket and the dems are panicking.

Clearly, democrats want to live in some country other than the USA
