Knowing the Democrats, they would probably get the expansion then fail to confirm any judges, allowing Trump to fill every seat.
Sure, why not? I feel incredibly under represented knowing 9 unelected people get to decide for hundreds of millions.
Right? And more justices means more frequent turnover which means less wild swings when the ancients die. More people that need to be bribed to compromise too
It's always appalling to me what people will sell the American people out for. Like look at Clarence Thomas. This guy could quit the court, work in the private sector and make bank on his name alone. Instead he sells out millions of people for an RV and some fancy vacations. Da fuck is wrong with people?
Fuck it, make it 335 million.
Every decision goes to a referendum.
But that would take power from the wealthy few and distribute it to the people, and that's evil leftist communist Marxist fascist socialist atheist woke double plus ungood poopy mind virus trans CRT, uhh, Venezuelan conspiracy and the Clintons and Obama will enforce gay agenda to kidnap your kids, uhh, agenda. Thinking is hard, so strong daddy trump will do my thinking for me.
/s in case it wasn't obvious enough.
We can all be on the supreme Court!
End-around the electoral college: if we’re ALL on the Supreme Court, then a simple majority can select presidents
Literally the court of public opinion
this would be the proper way to break norms. Do things where congress would have to spend every day appointing new justices unless they agree to reform a stupid constitutional provision
Nah the dems would fill every seat. They'd still give republicans a majority to reach over the aisle
They way apathy is being sowed for democrats there is no chance we will have anyone but GOP in power.
Apathy doesn't get sown, enthusiasm does. Apathy is the default and it's the job of a politician to inspire.
The seeds of apathy were sowed a decade ago when they stopped fighting for what their voters actually wanted and instead ran solely on being the better alternative to an authoritarian dick bag for simply being establishment politicians. Those seeds have taken root and sprouted now that voters have seen the Dems' are incapable of getting over their own hubris.
Dems should really do something about that. This is hindsight but seems to me like they should have tried a bit harder to win the only election that will matter moving forward.
I weep for the timeline where Bernie won the 2020 primary.
It's OK bb. I want to live in your fantasy, too.
They tried. Claiming they didn’t is the sowing apathy thing that I was referring to. Too many people shitting on every little thing the Democratic Party does even when that leads to Trump being in power.
They tried and failed. What good are they? Check the calender, they've been failing for decades.
Didn't the Democrats just confirm a bunch of judges recently?
Yes, but they cut a deal with the Republicans, who were stalling them with procedural maneuvers that were forcing them to stay late at night, and of course, it's a bad deal. They got seven district court judges approved in exchange for abandoning the appointment of 4 appeals court judges. Appeals court judges are much more powerful, so this wasn't a great move, but now they don't have to stay up past their bedtimes, and they might even get to go on Christmas vacation early.
Has to be one fell swoop
