    If you do that now, there will not be enough time to confirm the additions before the repugs come in and trash them.

      Soon enough. The only thing that’s important right now is getting people to snap out of this DNC v GOP narrative and understand moving forward the DNC only exists by the allowance of the GOP.

      I know I can’t will the masses into figuring this shit out, but I’ll keep spreading the word.

    He doesn’t care about us. None of them do. The only time he’s done anything to actually stand up against the rising tide of shit we’re all experiencing has been to defend his own son.

    The supreme Court has given him incredible power, and he’s a lame duck president. He should be doing everything possible to make improvements for us and ruin Trump’s agenda, but instead he’s going to throw up his hands and ride off into the sunset with his failson.

    Knowing the Democrats, they would probably get the expansion then fail to confirm any judges, allowing Trump to fill every seat.

      Or get them confirmed, then trump comes in and add 100 justices.

      And if elections still exist, the next democrat adds 200 justices.

      Eventually, supreme court becomes larger than congress.

          But that would take power from the wealthy few and distribute it to the people, and that’s evil leftist communist Marxist fascist socialist atheist woke double plus ungood poopy mind virus trans CRT, uhh, Venezuelan conspiracy and the Clintons and Obama will enforce gay agenda to kidnap your kids, uhh, agenda. Thinking is hard, so strong daddy trump will do my thinking for me.

          /s in case it wasn’t obvious enough.

          Right? And more justices means more frequent turnover which means less wild swings when the ancients die. More people that need to be bribed to compromise too

            It’s always appalling to me what people will sell the American people out for. Like look at Clarence Thomas. This guy could quit the court, work in the private sector and make bank on his name alone. Instead he sells out millions of people for an RV and some fancy vacations. Da fuck is wrong with people?

      Nah the dems would fill every seat. They’d still give republicans a majority to reach over the aisle

    Funny, but pardons are explicitly written in the constutution, there is zero ambiguety.

    Supreme court expantion needs congress.

    Besides, whats the point, trump and republican congress is just gonna expand it to 100 justices.

    Just do a national divorce already, maybe the piece of shit known as MTG was right after all. The infection has gone too far, need to amputate like half of the country.

      The following statements are brought to you by insomnia and an emotional numbness that can only be the result of utterly losing hope.
      Argumentative tone, inane statement, and general stupidity are well, probably just me, but let’s pretend they’re presented for effect.


      So?!
      Biden can just declare it and say he’s acting in the official capacity of his role as president. What are they gonna do, say it’s unconstitutional? Well, who cares? He can just pardon himself for issuing the edict and everyone that helps enforce it. What are they gonna do? Heck, he can even whack the offending judges for getting in the way and just make Hunter and Obama Supreme Court justices.

      Splitting the country in half would only lead to more problems. Countries with strong disagreements being situated side-by-side leads to increased conflict. It’s why colonialists love drawing up terrible borders for places they leave “independent”.

        People in here need to stop seeing conspiracies when “the generals just cut a line in the middle of a map” is the obvious explanation.
