    Senate Dems Deliver Warning to Supreme Court

    Several high-profile Senate Democrats warned the Supreme Court in pointed terms this week that it could face a fundamental restructuring if justices do not take steps to "heal" the court in the near future.*The ominous and unusual warning was delivered as part of a brief filed Monday in a case related to a New York City gun law. Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, Richard Durbin, D-Ill., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., referenced rulings by the court's conservative majority in claiming it is suffering from some sort of affliction which must be remedied. ....... "The Supreme Court is not well. And the people know it," the brief said. "Perhaps the Court can heal itself before the public demands it be 'restructured in order to reduce the influence of politics."* ................... https://www.foxnews.com/politics/sen...-restructuring .............. I'd imagine the SCOTUS won't take kindly to being threatened.
    It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    It worked for FDR. He overturned our original Constitution.

    And now we lack the courage to take the one remaining step that could save the nation.

    Arm up. Train up. Band together. The civil war is coming.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    So now democrats are trying to bogart the supreme court. I would think they would need republicans to do what they say they want in the senate

    Take Note, the democrats controlled the supreme court for along time, it wasnt threatened by republicans.

    Gillibrand has fallen along way from the gal who tried to represent her district's gun rights once. But how would the dems carry out such a restructuring?

    Keep a majority in the House, win a majority in the Senate (preferably 60) and win the Presidency. Then increase the # of justices.

    Incredible.

    Right now today any democrat in NY State has to be far left nuts or they wont get anywhere.

    NYers have gotten used to those freebie handouts and politicians telling them VOTE FOR ME AND ILL GIVE IT TO YOU FOR FREE

    They dug that hole for themselves now they cant get out of it anymore. Cuomo goes further left daily
