Democrats in House & Senate introduce bill to expand number of SCOTUS justices from 9 to 13

[AquaCityBoy]

President Manchin is not going for this and Pelosi won't even bring it to the House floor.

Fail.

Dem leaders love to hide behind studies and commissions

Yeah I'm not sure what the point of this is at all, either you're going to do it or you're not. All this does is rile up Republicans and does nothing to help Dems..

The votes are not there for the bill

Would be fantastic if it passed. The centrist Dems are cowards so there's not a great chance of this passing. This was one of the threats that emanated from the Democrats after RBG's death - so it isn't as if this is out of the blue.

You would need the court to actually be broken and posing a threat to pass this.
More tax payer money wasted.


edit: the desire to make the SC framework a partisan shyt show is strong on the left

Im all for Dems not confirming justices when the ball is in their court
Thats not whats being proposed.

Republicans and conservatives are acting like this is the beginning of the civil war, so you can guess how this excited the base.

If it passed, it would be quite accelerationist. I'm actually for that because I do want this country to separate - we're too dumb to remain together.

If it doesn't pass what's the fukking point? Fire up the opposite team so we can get Trump 2.0 so they can fukk us even harder?

Accelerationism would result in a ton of Black Death especially black ppl in the south. Hard pass

Then why push partisan structural changes?

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

As usual, they go with the extreme option instead of the rational one...

13 is too many and destined to fail...11 is what they should push for cuz they have a valid argument for it thanks to the fukkery Moscow and Rethugs pulled...

1 for Garland and 1 for Ginsburg...
