Incoming Democratic House member wants to stack Supreme Court with liberal justices

[Tahuyaman]

Nothing amuses me more than the argument I hear from Trumpers about Biden being some sort of far left, antifa-loving radical. He’s the most moderate, establishment Democratic nominee imaginable. He’s not destroying anything (as much as I might like him to).

Biden is being forced to the left. This isn't even arguable.

What he said is that we need to expand the Court. “Pack it with liberal justices” is editorializing.

Regardless, why not expand it? How can just 9 people adequately adjudicate disputes about the ultimate law of the land for 340 million people?

Total ignorance of the effort.

Must be why he has done a 180 on almost every issue but then y’all love rudderless democrats with no principles.

On what? The votes aren’t going to be there for anything resembling Sanders’ health care or college plan. Best case is he succeeds in restoring the Obama programs that Trump gutted, none of which was really far left or radical.

He backtracked on AOC's Green New Deal. He was once an opponant, now he supports most of it. He supported the Hyde amendment, now he said it needs to be repealed. He formerly opposed free college tuition. Now he's a supporter. He opposed MEDICARE for all. During a debate he raised his hand in support of that.


He was forced to the left as each Democratic debate was conducted. Basically he poached Bernie Sanders' positions.

Every prior nominee got an up or down vote. Doing nothing is not consent, either. No, what will change things is adding seats to the Court when the Democrats are in a position to push their nominees through.

It is not the Senate's job to provide a Justice that would pass, They can advise the President of people that they would like to see. They told Obama that his nomination was dead in the water, Obama chose not to put up a candidate that was acceptable to the Senate.

Granted he would have had to put up someone a lot more conservative that he would have liked to but it was in the realm of an election and if he wanted that seat it was not going to be someone that would legislate from the bench

The Democrats forced Bork out. He would have been a superb Justice.

Obama thought that the Republicans would cave in under the media pressure. In all honesty I thought they would too.

Liberals will go crazy if Ginsburg cashes it in before the election and Trump gets another nomination. Of course if he wins reelection Ginsburg will probably step down if she's still with us.

The most rational candidate for the Democrats was Tim Ryan, but he was so rational that he didn't last long.


Anorher was Amy Klobuchar. I certainly wouldn't vote for her, but I think she would have been a candidate who would give Trump a lot of trouble.

[Standing Wolf]

I’m not getting over it. It’s just one of a many reasons that I’m doing everything in my power to ensure that the Democrats take back the Senate. I’ve already donated to a half dozen Democratic Senate candidates in key races, and I’ll probably make at last another dozen donations. Right now, it looks good for a return to a Democratic Senate majority in 2021.

Arizonans will be doing their part in that in November.
