The Biden Presidency

[goldfly]

I hope they come for yours first so you can lead the bloodthirsty revolution you are cosplaying for here

[sturg33]

Yes the commies always want their political enemies down first

Better order my pistol brace before it requires a $200 stamp

Getting us back to norms, right nsacpi?

bon appetit!

as an aside i've expressed my views on this before...win elections and let the actuarial tables perform their magic

Behind the paywall.

Tell me the summary and how looking into expanding the court is a norm that the old lecturer is supportive of

well if you set up a gofundme page i'll think about chippin' in deux sous into the sturg educational and enlightenment project...many people tell me it's a good cause...many

Paying for trash like NYT is stupid.

Plus you can just get past the paywall easily.

I'm quite comfortable not further funding the lying propaganda machine

Once you and your ilk have passed on they will as well

[sturg33]

After the responses to Kavanaugh and ACB, I'm trying to imagine the response if imaginary fascist Trump decided to try to expand the size of the court to get more of his kind on there.

I'm sure it would have been well receptor by the principled norms wanting lecturers

[sturg33]

Would have been really cool if the public could have gotten a single foreign policy question in the two debates.

Instead we had to hear about imaginary white supremacy for 20th time

[striker42]

The judiciary is the one branch that actually works in a semi-effective way. Last thing Biden needs to do is mess with it.

And deciding cases against your viewpoint isn't evidence the court is broken.

[sturg33]

Romney about to find out how much left despises him not that he isn't towing the line

[thethe]

Romney and the rest of the never trumpers can shut the **** up. Never to be heard from again while the party transforms into what will dominate the political landscape for decades.

Chamber of commerce will never run the decision making again.

[sturg33]

.... ok

[thethe]

Good good.

Push further to the left leading up to 2022.

Love it.

Gotta restock that military after Trumps left it barren.

I imagine the response would be the same as how Republicans would have reacted if Hillary won in 2016 but lost the popular vote by 3 million and expanded the court. "Full blown tyranny" is what I would expect Moscow Mitch to call it.




I don't think Biden has the balls to add justices. What I support is either setting the number at 9 in stone as well as the process and timeline for confirming justices or else go ahead and expand it. I dont Republicans to not expand the court the next time they have the Presidency and Senate. Adding a justice should require a 2/3rds majority of Congress which neither side will ever get, if Republicans oppose that they are telegraphing that they want to do it in the future. The honor system went out the door a while ago.

Repubs had the chance with cocaine Mitch and literal Hitler 2.0 and the subject wasn't even brought up

[cajunrevenge]

I doubt Trump knew they could add justices until it was brought up in the campaign. I could just as easily point to when Obama and Biden were in the White House with a Democrat controlled Senate and the subject wasn't brought up. If I had to guess this commission wont even release their report until late 2022 and if Democrats do it it will only be AFTER picking up seats in the Senate in 2022. If Republicans are going to campaign on "Democrats will add justices" and they still control the Senate after 2022 then it sounds to me like that's what the American people want.
