Ted Cruz To Introduce Constitutional Amendment To Lock Supreme Court At Nine Justices

[rightwinger]

Let's see your wording third grader!

I’ve already posted what is missing in Ted Cruz’s amendment

Term Limits for Judges
A requirement for Congress to act judiciously on appointments
An end to partisan advice and consent

 

[BackAgain]

Not disagreeing with you there, I’m just pointing out how the left views it, and they will view this proposal by Cruz the same way.

Any time anyone does anything, the Dims always put on it.

That’s a terrible idea.

HEN23006 JX9 S.L.C.


‘‘The Supreme Court of the United States shall be
composed of nine justices.’


Thats it?
That is the best Constitutional Scholar Ted Cruz can come up with?


Cruz is constantly whining about term limits and can’t include a term limit on SCOTUS?
Nothing setting a time limit on how long the Senate has to confirm a pick…thus the number can drop to eight or less if Congress sits on confirmation

Those should be separate issues so that we one is not lost because of another.

 

[rightwinger]

That’s a terrible idea.

Why?

 

[JoeMoma]

Yes, and I dismissed your complicated idiocy.

Go F youself Troll!

 

[frigidweirdo]

i think it's a good idea. though some reforms are needed to prevent politicization of the SC

EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Ted Cruz To Introduce Constitutional Amendment To Lock Supreme Court At Nine Justices

Sen. Ted Cruz will reintroduce a constitutional amendment Wednesday that would make sure only nine justices can serve on the U.S. Supreme Court at a time.

I think a Constitutional Amendment to change how they're given the job in the first place would be better.

 

[BackAgain]

I would like to require a two thirds majority for any Supreme Court decision,

Why?

any Supreme Court decision could be overturned by a two thirds vote in each house of Congress and a presidential signature,

it wouldn’t be a “Supreme” Court then? Anyway, if a SCOTUS decision is found to be mis-interpreting the Constitution, Congress could already propose a Constitutional Amendment to make the correction.

and unpopular justices could be removed by a two thirds vote on a national referendum.

Another terrible idea. The whole point of a Constitutional appointment for life on good behavior is to insulate a justice from politics.

 

[BackAgain]

Why?

I was sure you’d never understand why.

 

[BluesLegend]

Keeping it at 9 justices isn’t rigging the court.

Let's be honest if it were a 6-3 Dem SCOTUS the Dems would scream bloody murder if we tried to add justices.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

What I desire would require a constitutional amendment. If it was passed, the reform I advocate would be constitutional by definition.

It flies in the face of the Constitution's original intent.

Go F youself Troll!

Troll? Because you are an idiot, I am a troll. Fucking hilarious!

I figured you didn’t have a clue
You rarely disappoint

Of course they would. Hypocrisy is embraced by the Dims and the ability to even feel shame is unobtainable by them. (Plus they don’t care.)

So what? Those who wrote and signed the Constitution did not claim Divine Inspiration. I will not make that claim on their behalf. I do not know of any other democracy in the world where courts have the power they have in the United States.

 

[blackhawk]

Interesting how no one had an issue with the number being 9 until after the 2016 Presidential election.

Oh, Leftwhiner. You always disappoint. But I do have a clue. You don’t. That’s why you ask the stupid question.

Good thing we aren’t a “democracy.”

Again, you are wrong. Congratulations!.
