The Venezuelan Congress dealt a severe blow to judicial independence by packing the country’s Supreme Court with 12 new justices, Human Rights Watch said today. A majority of the ruling coalition, dominated by President Hugo Chávez’s party, named the justices late yesterday, filling seats created by a law passed in May that expanded the court’s size by more than half.
“Five years ago, President Chávez’s supporters helped to enshrine the principle of judicial independence in a new democratic constitution,” said José Miguel Vivanco, Americas director at Human Rights Watch. “Now, by packing the country’s highest court, they are betraying that principle and degrading Venezuelan democracy.”

And what has Chuck Schumer confirmed if the Democrat leadership wins the election?
Of course she refused because that's the plan. Maybe Trump should just pack the court to 18 or 64 judges since thats the plan of the Dems?
Threatening to change our very system of government into a Venezuelan type dictatorship is very scary, considering there would be no constitutional boundaries or protections with the Biden/Harris plan to adopt a Hugo Chávez’s court packing takeover.

The socialist controlled Democrat Party Leadership is known for accusing others of what they themselves are guilty of.
So what if they will? Mitch stacked the court with a bunch of of judges who were rated not qualified. And jamming Through another SC a month before the election.
All options are on the table especially with millions of peoples healthcare is at stake. Meaning if the court overturns Ocare then the Dems will have a green light to add a couple more justices to the court to make it equal.

So, you have no problem with altering our system of government into a Venezuelan type dictatorship which has no constitutional boundaries to protect the people's rights?

What he describes does not qualify as such.
It is within Congress' delineated authority to change the size of the Supreme Court, and it has done so before.
Therefore, passing such legislation does not change our form of government from a constitutional republic.

Talk about millions of peoples' healthcare is at stake, Kamala's Medicare for all Act would outlaw the private health insurance plans of over 150 million people and force them into a Cuban style healthcare system!

The Biden/Harris socialist healthcare plan will tax America’s productive citizens and our retired Senior citizens to provide healthcare to the 1.5 million DACA and 3.6 million Dreamers in our country
If Republicans give no quarter, they should expect none
