The SCOTUS Nomination and Confirmation Thread

This is correct. Congress cannot pass a law that ties the hands of future Congresses.

Court packing is an emotional reaction. It's turning over the game board because you started losing. It tends to be proposed by extreme wings of a party when they get mad at the court.

What is this crap?

What left leaning court?

There by my quick telling the court was generally liberal in 60s to mid 70s, then was conservative with a few bumps to liberal in the 80s and 2000s.

What crazy world do you live in that the court has been left leaning for half a century?
 
liberal court?


lol

just more evidence you shouldn't try to act like you are the judge of others losing their mind


i love all those responses though. republicans play hardball and democrats should just take it is their take

like always

they think republicans can play by one set of rules and democrats should play by another

Depends on the issue. For abortion the court has been fairly consistent to the left for decades. Gay rights has been largely to the left the last few decades as well.

However, you've seen growth in free exercise law which is a rightward shift. Citizens United was interesting in that it was an expansion of free speech (generally a liberal ideal) applied in a conservative way.

Ultimately the court can only be pulled as far as the most moderate 5th justice. It doesn't matter if you have 4 extremists, they need the 5th to make a majority so they can only go as far as the 5th is comfortable.

The GOP stole the Supreme Court because they decided rigging things

was a better solution than changing regressive views and trying to win

women, people of color and young voters. They lost the culture war and

punted the future for a temporary power grab.

Their days are numbered.

Why is a Supreme Court Justice doing a campaign event for the President

a week before the election?

This justice and court are hemorrhaging legitimacy.

This is chilling, from Justice Kavanaugh in the Wisconsin voting rights case:

“If the apparent winner the morning after the election ends up losing due

to late-arriving ballots, charges of a rigged election could explode.”
 
Did Dalyn post that ?
