Public Trials and Court Expansion After Dems Take Over?

[georgephillip]

What are some possible consequences of a blue tsunami breaking in 2026 and cresting in 2028?

Public trials of prominent conservatives from Elon Musk and "Big Balls" to Trump himself would require at least one precursor.

Packing SCOTUS appears to be the key to perpetuating any radical makeover Democrats might implement:

"Years ago, Harvard professor Michael Klarman laid out a radical agenda to change the system to guarantee Republicans 'will never win another election.'

"However, he warned that 'the Supreme Court could strike down everything I just described.' Therefore, the court must be packed in advance to allow these changes to occur.

This week, Democratic strategist James Carville laid out the step-by-step process of how the pack-to-power plan would work.

“’I'm going to tell you what’s going to happen,' he said.

"'A Democrat is going to be elected in 2028. You know that. I know that. The Democratic president is going to announce a special transition advisory committee on the reform of the Supreme Court. They’re going to recommend that the number of Supreme Court justices go from nine to 13. That’s going to happen, people.'"

It's odd that something that important can be passed by a simple majority in both houses if the filibuster is nuked.

Spare us the whining. Trump packed the court with help from McConnell. Republicans have been holding public trials since Clinton. So stop pretending that Republicans are poor innocent victim. It's time the lying stopped.

There are a few things we know democrats won't be involved with. Reducing crime, the economy, energy policies, you know, actual governing.

FDR wasn't able to increase the number of justices; however, New Deal popularity was so great the court began supporting some of Roosevelt's initiatives:

• • It was defeated in Congress but led to the 'switch in time that saved nine,' as the Court began upholding New Deal measures, a shift some attribute to the political pressure.

It is also unlikely Democrats will be kidnapping foreign leaders or selling pardons to convicted drug traffickers.

It is possible any Democrats elected in 2026 and beyond will stop supporting Israeli ethnic cleansing, collective punishment, and genocide in Palestine.

Are you kidding! Democrats wrote the book on that one.

That's the biggest problem with Congress. They should never be able to pass important legislation on a simple majority vote. It should be upped to 2/3 for all federal legislation, for both houses.

Hmmm... Biden's pardon list doesn't support your bias.

It still blows my mind that Democrats can't just nominate a personable, sane centrist to clean the floor with Trump. But they've got their agenda, and they won't let go - country be damned.

I'd say next to ZERO. The only reason why Trump and the GOP are getting any neg ratings now at all is because of all the disinformation being spread by the MSM. But the truth has a way of getting through eventually.

And I would not count too hard on conservatives sitting still for too much more fascist persecution of political enemies by the Left, I think the public is already at the "all we can take" mark right now after four years of Joe and believe me, you do not want to see the Right if they finally snap and start deciding to take justice into their own hands.

Most conservatives are not SUV ICE-Karen moms, they are ex-police, ex-military armed to the teeth with only a fear of God in their hearts. If those people finally blow their cools, the Left's ass is grass.

Democrats have long supported Israeli war crimes, but the current genocide in Gaza has convinced younger Dems to reconsider. Primaries in 2026 may elect a substantial numbers of Democrats who won't vote Israel First.

The problem is, I think, that the US has reached that point of African politics where there are two sides, and whichever side gets in is going to be tribal, attack the other side, put people in prison, give all the money to their own people.

This is not healthy. This will get worse and worse, until a dictator takes over.

Either that or have Proportional Representation.

Two questions.
Do you have any examples of personable, sane centrists?
Do you believe Bernie Sanders would have won in 2016, 2020, or 2024?

No. I'm not recruiting for you. But if Dems are really so inept that they can find one, they should close up shop.

If we thought things were bad under Pedo Joe ... just wait until the next woke lunatic takes office. They'll double down out of sheer revenge.

when are you going to start?...

I think Trump might be the stage before dictator; imho, he is a symptom of decades of democratic decay in US politics:

The Last Election

"The assault on democracy, carried out by the two ruling parties, set the stage for Trump.

"They emasculated our democratic institutions, stripped us of our most basic rights and cemented into place the machinery of authoritarian control, including the imperial presidency.

"All Trump had to do was flick the switch."

No, Trump is the stage AFTER Joe Biden.

mho, he is a symptom of decades of democratic decay in US politics:

Decades, so in other words, decades of decay going back to around the time the Clintons got involved?

Amen!

The refusal to blast Netanyahu by Harris is one thing that hurt her. Any Democrat that chose to continue blind support of Israel is going to have a very hard time winning in these mid terms.
