Liberals packing the court? But, they're fine when Trump does it. Federalizing the elections? They SHOULD be federalized and it could (with the right reforms) fix a lot of what is wrong with American elections. When did Trump pack the Court?? 2 1 Link to comment

Scarlet Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Well I guess the only option now is a military coup. Now will any of the Senate enablers recognize Biden as President-elect? 3 Link to comment

People often use "court packing" to describe changes to the size of the Supreme Court, but it's better understood as any effort to manipulate the Court's membership for partisan ends. A political party that's engaged in court packing will usually violate norms that govern who is appointed (e.g., only appoint jurists who respect precedent) and how the appointment process works (e.g., no appointments during a presidential election). ummm....the last 4 years. 3 Link to comment

Trump really is changing everything in the world I guess. Even the decades long accepted definition of court packing. TDS at its finest. It’s funny how filling an empty seat is now considered court packing all because of Trump. Hehehe 2 1 Link to comment

Hehehe It is considered packing when the seats were vacant for years because the Senate wouldn't approve Obama's picks. That's court packing and blatant partisanship for a branch of government that doesn't need that kind of stupidity infecting it (as it already has the Senate and the GOP). And just because you choose to be willfully ignorant about Trump's happenings while in office, that doesn't mean they aren't real or aren't illegal/immoral/unethical. 3 2 1 Link to comment
knapplc Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Billy Barr's last-ditch effort to salvage a shred of respectability after his disastrous stint as trump's lackey isn't fooling anyone. Well, no one outside the cult. 4 Link to comment
