Didn't someone post here in 2016 the next Republican President hasn't been born yet? Gievn how hyper-partisan both sides have become the voters might not give either side all three for a very long time.
Pack The Supreme Court? Absolutely

"You don't get to alter the standard just because it's your guy in the Oval Office."
Not trying to "Alter the Standard" You are the one wishing the "Standard" could be "Altered"
If you look at history, the "Standard" is....that when the party that has won the White House ( Yes the Republicans won the White House and President Donald J Trump is Presidency which you really need to get over already) and the Party that has won the Senate ( Yeah, the Republicans and Mitch McConnell control the Senate) are one and the same, then the nomination is made and the advise and consent is done. YOU.... You don't get to alter the standard just because your guys (or gals) AREN'T in the Oval Office and the Senate.

I am willing to bet on Trump taking the Republican Party down with him and Democrats gerrymandering the House for the next decade.
Go for the throat Democrat’s

Funny the left said the same thing about Trump in 2016 didn't work out the way they thought it would.
Fake News. RBG replace Byron White, a Conservative, and yet, that wasn't grounds to expand SCOTUS.
No. The real question is just how badly should Democrats be punished for attacking the independence of the Judiciary.
No shit?
No it isn't. Just as RGB replacing Byron White didn't, neither does the Notorious ACB replacing RBG. It's simply Karma. RBG could have retired while Dems controlled the Senate and the Presidency and she didn't, cuz karma.
He sounds like your typical anti-Christan leftwing professor moron.
The Notorious ACB to follow the "RGB Rule" when asked how she will decide specific cases.

With the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the nomination of a polar opposite replacement, only one response that makes any sense: Expand the Supreme Court. The only real question is by how much. There are other responses that can do some good — perhaps even more good. But without court expansion, the existing court can, and almost certainly will, strike them down.
Yes, some call it an extreme step. But there’s a more extreme step: Simply ignore the court’s decisions — as some Republicans argued in the 1850s, in response to the Dred Scott decision. More to the point, this is an extreme situation that demands extreme responses. As Boston College law professor Kent Greenfield tweeted on Sept. 21:

You wouldn't care if TRUMP! added 4 more of his handpicked justices? Or Maybe Pence?

Or subvert it if you are a democrat, just like FDR tried to do.

As much as your dream of a Communist America. Neither is desirable here, and neither will be permitted.

I don't think that the Democrats should pack the court. Where would it end as control shifts back and forth? It would be a temporary win for a political party but would be a near permanent loss for our country's checks and balances which is already frail in my opinion.

Increase it to 11 seats and limit terms to 15 years..that will prevent any 'packing' by anybodyWith the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the nomination of a polar opposite replacement, only one response that makes any sense: Expand the Supreme Court.
