And the minority continue their reign. This must stop. The Democrats have to expand judicial power, damn the down-the-road consequences.

Of course, because GOPNAZIS are morally bankrupt, treasonous and criminal to their very core. They are the enemy of the people.

Yes, I think that’s one of the things we must do. I didn’t even think this was a serious possibility until I heard my congressman is openly pushing for it. It simply cannot continue that a minority of voters continues to overrule the majority.

It’s a valid response to this situation that the GOP has created. If they don’t expand the court i really want to know why they aren’t.

I learned about “Lame Duck” situations in 7th grade. There have been many laws passed against this type of thing. Apparently not in conservative states. I wonder why not? /s

Yes, and if the outcome of the Mueller investigation is as damaging as I believe it will be, it will greatly help the Democrats in making the case that PP was unfairly given two SCOTUS justices and they’re just leveling the playing field, righting a wrong in accordance with the wishes of the American people.

“We’re the Koch brothers and we (claim to) believe in a “free market” “natural” system which actually has no analogous system in Nature, unless perhaps, you examine the most destructive Parasite-host cycles. We’re trying make the World into a type of Great Lakes/Lamprey situation, only without anyone trying to eradicate the eels.”
