Interesting history behind "Court Packing" scheme. Not a new idea.

https://www.vox.com/2018/7/2/1751352...-supreme-court

Ol' FDR... man that dude was scary. A true "by any means necessary" kind of guy.

So what... from then on each time the 3 branches are controlled by one party we will add more Supreme Court justices? By 2060 are we going to have 31 justices sitting? Lol

Lefts motto: "If you can't win according to the rules... change the rules".

I hate to say it lefty's... but "Court-Packing Is a Fringe Fantasy" (see article below)

Poof. There goes that happy thought.

Happy 4th of July!

I've seen a couple of those angry moonbats saying they're going to do that here on C-D. Funny stuff. If you can't win by cheating, change the rules after-the-fact. Yeah NeoLiberalism.

The Supreme Court threw the God of the Bible out of public schools in the early 1960's. America has been hell ever since.

Default Is it possible for President Trump to actually nominate 4 Supreme court justices?

Wow--the thought of it makes me so very happy.

He is already preparing to nominate a 2nd Justice when Kennedy retires.

Now we look to Breyer and Ginsburg and their advanced age. If they pass away (god forbid), or steps down due to infirmity...can they last 2 to 6 more years? Could Trump actually appoint 4 (!) Justices? Of course, that depends on the republicans keeping the house and senate.

What do you guys have to say? Should there be a limit to how many Justices a POTUS can appoint?

Yes, quite possible.
Auntie Ruth is the only one right now standing in the way of being committed to a mental institution, for the lost it left.


Thomas, leaving also?

3 is quite likely, but 4 is certainly possible.

Wait! Is there talk of Thomas leaving? I hope not! He is easily my favorite Justice, only behind Scalia..
