There's no rationale to this except to say democrats are the party of lie-cheat-and-steal.
This is the steal part, but they will lie their way through it.
Same as Voter ID. These people are scum of the earth.

It's called political payback for how Scalia abd Ginsberg were replaced. One seat was held open for a year to "let the people decide" and the other was rushed through to avoid letting the people decide. Now put on your tap dance shoes and give us a reasonable explanation as to why the two cases were handled drastically different? You know it was McConnell playing politics, which you were more than thrilled with. But if the other side were to do it, you will get triggered and cry like a little girl. "Lie, cheat and steal" LOL. Amirite?

I’m not sure my opinion on the topic

To answer your question:
Those two you mentioned replaced existing positions (yes, treated very differently, but only replacing)
Now we are talking about adding four more.
The equal political payback would be using these tactics to replace the next open vacancies, not adding four more spots

You can't be serious. How often do supreme court justices die during an election year?

Probably not often, I’ve never done the research
Apr 19, 2021, 11:09 AM

But I’d think it’s not often
I’m still trying to figure out why the answer to this situation is to add justices to the court
I’m trying to think an analogy, but can’t really
I’m happy to be convinced that it’s something other than, we don’t like the way these two scenarios happened and therefore the only correction is to add 4 more justices for the first time since 1869

Yes, yes I do
Apr 20, 2021, 7:32 AM
|

So if I’m following along correctly
Democrats do not like the way that 2 justices were allowed in and therefore want to add 4 more justices
Is this the same line of thinking?
I think that Clemson unfairly lost the football game to UofSC. The only way to hold UofSC accountable for the dirty plays that caused Clemson to lose is to make them play an overtime period with 7 players to get the result I want
I’m still happy to hear and try to understand any explanation that isn’t we didn’t get the result we liked and are now moving the goalposts to get the result we wanted

LOL. You're complaining about the dems wanting to add 4 more judges, but seem to be perfectly fine with the way the 2 judges were confirmed. Why are you such a blatant hypocrite? You don't believe McConnell should be held accountable, even though he was warned and did it anyway You like most Trumpkins, love it when your side plays dirty, but cries when the other side does it. Amirite?

In order
Do you think adding 4 is comparable to the process of 2. I don’t, I think it’s very “politics as usual” that those 2 scenarios played out. I see politics being politics. I don’t feel as I am a hypocrite because I don’t think playing politics to get your way is fair for anyone. McConnell handling as such is not cool. Adding 4 more for revenge isn’t cool. I feel that is not playing sides or being a hypocrite.
I’m not a Trumpkin.
I think you finally answered my main question that this is just political revenge for the way those two situations were handled.

How else do you propose the Dems hold McConnell and the Repubs accountable? He was warned that this may happen and he ignored it and did it anyway. You will just get run over if you continure to let people run you over. What's your solution?

Both should have been voted on, but that’s not what happened.
A 6-3 majority is more substantial than a 5-4 majority. Not that hard to understand.

Things change, things evolve. Just coz we have 9 doesn’t mean it always has to be 9. It’s not written in stone or anything
I have always thought the filibuster is a bad idea, no matter who is in power. So getting rid of it is fine with me.
Adding to the Supremes... I’m fine with that also. You would be too if it were reverse.
Right now it would be like lefty judges added but it all comes around. At some point right leaning will have the majority and back and forth we go.

With what they are supposed to do, it should probably be more like 5 or 7 total on the court.

We wouldn't even be discussing this had McConnell treated both nominations the same. Your another one of those who only believes in accountability when it affects your side. Why is that?

You are the master of the tap dance. You're triggered because the Dems want to pack the court, but you were perfectly fine with how the nominations were handled. Again, who started this? I'll wait.

Lol at your deflection with the nuclear option. McConnell started this and you fully supported it. Now your triggered. And is Robert's considered a conservative, cause I've been hearing Trumpkins b!tch about him being nothing but RINO. So what is it?

What does the Nuclear option have to do with holding up a SCOTUS nomination for over year to "let the people decide", and then ram one through to the people cannot decide? I'll wait.

When the Republicans gain the executive and legislature (and they will at some point) maybe the number of Supreme Court justices should be 25. See how this works.

Apr 20, 2021, 1:17 PM
[ in reply to Re: Dems and packing the Supreme Court ] |

Threatening to court pack because they don’t like the make up of the court and they believe adding members when they control the government will allow them to have activist judges that will allow them to pass laws that a strict Constitutionalist would reject.
The Republicans argue that elections have consequences and this is a slippery slope.
If the Democrats do it, they have set a precedent. For the Republicans to then pretend that the new number has any validity is just being naive. They would be well within their right to pull the same Stu t that they now object to.
NOW, if the Democrats choose not to move forward with this court packing or actually vote against it, then yes, the Republicans would be hypocritical to then pack the court when they are in command of the government.

Personally I think they already have the majority because they are scared for theirs and their families safety if they don't vote the progressives way.Remember the yelling and screaming in the chambers about ruling on voter fraud and how they were scared about having riots and violence if they ruled there was voter fraud.Just my take on the matter.
