Fascist Party To Unveil Bill To Pack The Supreme Court

How many times have you seen a Democrat yammer on about protecting our democracy? That voting matters? That every vote should count? Well, since they can’t get their own way on the Supreme Court, they’ve moved one step closer to implementing their Progressice (nice Fascism) agenda

Democrats to propose legislation expanding the Supreme Court

Several House Democrats are set to unveil legislation Thursday to expand the number of justices on the Supreme Court.

Supporters of the proposal plan to hold a news conference on the steps of the Supreme Court building. They include U.S. Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts and U.S. Reps. Jerry Nadler and Mondaire Jones, both of New York, and Hank Johnson of Georgia.

Given Democrats’ control of the White House and Senate, the legislation could allow the party to supersede the court’s current conservative majority by “packing” the Court with liberal justices.

Some Republicans quickly derided the proposal.

“Does expanding the Supreme Court count as infrastructure too?” Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, wrote on Twitter. (snip)

The legislation will propose expanding the court to 13 justices, from nine, The Intercept reported Wednesday.

The shame of this all is that it shouldn’t matter how many justices serve on the court, because they should be following the Constitution as their only principle, but, Democrat appointees rarely do that. They apply their politics (not that some Republican appointees don’t go off the reservation, usually toward the Democrats opinions). They take an oath to the Constitution. And, the Supreme Court is supposed to be independent from the Legislative and Executive Branches. This would truly make those 4 justices in the back pocket of Biden-Harris.

(Washington Times) The Supreme Court has had nine justices since 1869. Prior to that, it fluctuated in size from five to 10 justices. The Constitution does not set a number of justices for the high court.

Why? Because it works. It didn’t go well when FDR tried to pack the court.

Mike Davis, president of the conservative Article III Project, said lawmakers who are part of this effort should be “ashamed” of themselves.

“Democrats who would destroy the independence and legitimacy of the high court must be disavowed as political pariahs by every last one of their colleagues. Packing the Supreme Court would be a declaration of war that could not be undone. President Biden and Democrats in Congress should tread extremely carefully. Packing the Supreme Court is a red line they must not cross. If they actually love their country, they should stand down immediately,” Mr. Davis said.

Except, pretty much every elected Democrat will back this. You might get just enough in the Senate to kill the legislation, but, that’s it. And, if it does make it through, calling it a declaration of war might not be just hyperbole, as this would immediately change the rulings to protect the hardcore Democrat agenda.
