If you do that now, there will not be enough time to confirm the additions before the repugs come in and trash them.
Soon, we shall see it all come tumbling down. Rule of law means two things now, Jack and Shit.
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.
well he’s also going to ensure Israel gets unlimited support for its genocide while Bibi openly celebrates Trump taking office.
nobody cares.
That’s true, you’re just some nobody and you do seem to care enough to post this childish shit.
Agree
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.
👀🍿
Fuck it, make it 335 million.
Every decision goes to a referendum.
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.
Sure, why not? I feel incredibly under represented knowing 9 unelected people get to decide for hundreds of millions.
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?
We can all be on the supreme Court!
End-around the electoral college: if we’re ALL on the Supreme Court, then a simple majority can select presidents
Literally the court of public opinion
See you there
Sincerely, your fellow supreme court member, Justice [ERROR: Name Corrupted - SupremeCourt.exe has crashed due to excessive size]
They way apathy is being sowed for democrats there is no chance we will have anyone but GOP in power.
The seeds of apathy were sowed a decade ago when they stopped fighting for what their voters actually wanted and instead ran solely on being the better alternative to an authoritarian dick bag for simply being establishment politicians. Those seeds have taken root and sprouted now that voters have seen the Dems’ are incapable of getting over their own hubris.
Voters actually wanted a fascist. That’s what we got now and maybe forever because so many like you are willing to cut off your nose to spite your face. To let perfection prevent progress.
The problem is voters on both sides want a fascist. They might not be able to agree on which person they want to give ultimate power to, but they know that everyone else should fall in line and agree with them unquestioningly.
Apathy doesn’t get sown, enthusiasm does. Apathy is the default and it’s the job of a politician to inspire.
Sounds like youve never heard of FUD
It’s hard to spread FUD about establishment Democrats when they are all clones. America knows exactly what to expect from a Democrat, and it’s not much.
We have a DNC election coming up very soon, and the midterms after that. This is the time to challenge what it means to be a Democrat. If Rahm Emanuel gets the DNC chair, then the next ten years look to be very much like the last ten.
There is no chance democrats will win any elections as long as people like yourself keep shitting on them. More democratic voters will stay home or vote republican or 3rd party and the GOP will get more power and our lives will get worse.
There is no chance democrats will win any elections as long as people like yourself keep shitting on them.
For decades, they’ve had chance after chance to prove themselves to the working class. Now, you dare suggest that the corporatist Christo-fascists will win if we don’t keep voting in the same corporatist neo-liberal celebrity-fellators?
If the DNC establishment doesn’t get tossed out on their ass during the next committee same primary election cycle, the average citizen is fucked.
We are already fucked. Fascism already won. We had to chose between democrats and fascism and people like yourself shit on democrats enough to convince enough voters to either stay home or vote Trump or 3rd party. Letting perfection be the enemy of progress. There’s no going back now.
So, it’s not what Democrats do in office that matters. It’s not how they dodge and weave every question in every interview until nobody even remembers what was asked. Democrats lose because people are mean to them? Is nobody ever mean to Republicans then?
What democrats do does matter. That’s why we shouldn’t do the GOPs job for them by sowing apathy for democrats. Because that leads to the GOP gaining power. That’s why FUD exists.
They hope for a revolution. It’s incredibly childish. And even if there WERE a revolution to happen, those tend to put the worst people in power. It’s always the worst possible people to rise to power in a revolution. Look what it got China and Russia and where they are now. I prefer the democrats to fucking Stalin, but that’s just me.
Agreed. They are cutting off their nose to spite their face.
Dems should really do something about that. This is hindsight but seems to me like they should have tried a bit harder to win the only election that will matter moving forward.
I weep for the timeline where Bernie won the 2020 primary.
It’s OK bb. I want to live in your fantasy, too.
They tried. Claiming they didn’t is the sowing apathy thing that I was referring to. Too many people shitting on every little thing the Democratic Party does even when that leads to Trump being in power.
They tried and failed. What good are they? Check the calender, they’ve been failing for decades.
They won 3 of the last 5 elections. But as long as people like yourself keep shitting on them the GOP will keep growing in power.
Seriously, it’s not my fault. I’ve voted for them and I’ve shilled for them. The party is a sunk cost. Just look at merrick garlin or dick durbin. Im seriously not the problem.
Nah the dems would fill every seat. They’d still give republicans a majority to reach over the aisle
Didn’t the Democrats just confirm a bunch of judges recently?
Yes, but they don’t have the best record on the Supreme Court.
Has to be one fell swoop
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.
Why would it be more believable that borders are drawn randomly instead of intentionally?
Hey, let’s not do this debate shit. I’m not making policy here, brah.
I mean technically it is a policy proposal :P
And technically I’m a shit poster on the political memes lemmy whos knowledge of the constitution boils down to a bunch of podcasts I listened to.
Well you learned something today, do that’s a plus
" …a mans gotta know his limitations." 👍
loud debating noises

Probably best to just reduce it by 5. Messily.
Don’t get me excited.
