It's all up to Sonia and her wise vagina. Let's pray she comes to the Constitutionally correct decision; if not, let's send her Vagisil.

True.

But shortly afterwards scumbag extraordinaire FDR threatened to abolish SCOTUS. In order to avoid a Constitutional Crisis the Justices caved in.

Fucking ignorant fool:


The Judiciary Reorganization Bill of 1937, frequently called the court-packing plan,[1] was a legislative initiative to add more justices to the Supreme Court proposed by U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt shortly after his victory in the 1936 presidential election. Although the bill aimed generally to overhaul and modernize all of the federal court system, its most important provision would have granted the President power to appoint an additional Justice to the U.S. Supreme Court for every sitting member over the age of 70½, up to a maximum of six.

Perhaps our miscommunication lies in the meaning of the word abolish.

Oh btw: As an ignorant fool, I typically rely on the dictionary definition for words.

Just so you know.

 

[Diuretic]

Abolish. Abolition.

So slavery wasn't actually "abolished" - folks just got paid to break their backs out there in the cotton fields?

Abolish, who needs a dictionary? The ordinary meaning of the word is to get rid of something, not fuck around with it.

You never get anything right, do you?

No one threatened to abolish the Court. He threatened to add one justice for every justice over 70 under the pretense of them being overworked.

the REALITY was that the Court was already backing down in terms of exercising power over economic policies....

do you just talk for the sake of talking?

Even by the most cynical interpretation imaginable, the provisions of The Judiciary Reorganization Bill of 1937 certainly would not abolish the SCOTUS.

That you insist they do exposes you for the fraud troll you are.

Well done.

Is it really? then we're boned.

Seriously the best chance we have is preventing this atrocity from ever becoming law.

I agree, Congress can NOT abolish the SC, as the Constitution itself states a SC is mandated. Inferior courts are at the whim of Congress, technically though.

The original # of the court was 6, and in case of a tie, the decision of the lower court stood. At one time it was at 10, but fell back to 9 through attrition.

SCOTUS = Supreme Court of the United States

POTUS = President of the United States

I'll coin this one; COTUS= Congress of the United States.

There were times on the court when there were only 7 members, even though the # was still set at 9, but the US Code sets the quorum # at 6 to do business.



TITLE 28 > PART I > CHAPTER 1 > Number of justices; quorum

The Supreme Court of the United States shall consist of a Chief Justice of the United States and eight associate justices, any six of whom shall constitute a quorum.

Which he has no power to do. Congress not the President would need to increase the size. And he was roundly criticized and made to look the fool for saying it as well. But it worked, the Court quit bucking him anyway.

If every president was allowed to pack the court with his Homies the court would effectively cease to exist as a court.

the REALITY was that the Court was already backing down in terms of exercising power over economic policies....

Bullshit, a year earlier the SCOTUS declared one of his Marxist scam UNCONSTITUTIONAL

MR. JUSTICE ROBERTS delivered the opinion of the Court.

A tax, in the general understanding of the term, and as used in the Constitution, signifies an exaction for the support of the Government. The word has never been thought to connote the expropriation of money from one group for the benefit of another."
