2020 Dems warm to expanding Supreme Court

/----/ If they try and a Red state sues to stop it, will the USSC take up the case? I can't see a mostly Conservative court allowing it. Just asking

it's up to congress.

We could very well have a full sweep of Democrats in control Congress and the White House in 20 months or so. And a chief executive with new and unbridled power to declare anything she wants as a national emergency (if the courts don’t stop this nonsense).

I hate to break this to you, Candy...but if you give a far left progressive "unbridled power" they will screw things up so badly it could literally spell the end of the Democratic Party. Just saying...

You mean like the past two years have spelled the end of the Republican Party?

Why would one of the world's best economies spell the end of the GOP? Record low unemployment? The reworking of trade deals with Mexico, Canada, Europe and China that are far better for US workers? You may not have noticed but it's the Democratic Party that is fractured. You've got the old guard and then you've got a whole slew of ultra liberal newcomers that are proposing things so far to the left that it's unprecedented!

Anyone surprised by this? You can't win, just change the rules.


Americans can see this, if you vote for this, you can't say you weren't forewarned...

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.”

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.

but thinks like attacking people for not baking a case, insisting men use the womans room, guys who "feel" like a women allowed to compete against women in sports...

yea, we just NOW got weird.

Not sure anyone was insisting someone use a specific restroom. But the whole bathroom craziness...That was a ridiculous policy. Obama hit the “stupid” button on that one.

Trump’s America has us wondering if POTUS can murder you and pardon himself and take money allocated by Congress for ridiculous campaign promises.

in the wake of a crime, everyone turns into a NASCAR fan. they want speed, speed, speed. Kamala did just that as Attorney General, she quickly locked the bad guys up.

she has my vote if Beto drops out!

Anyone surprised by this?

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

Says a quintessential cheater.

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.

You poor black chillens.
