They answered. They said they would establish a bipartisan commission to look at restructuring so it's no longer such a political clown show.
It’s not a clown show.  It’s exactly as it’s been for decades.  Read the **** constitution.  You banana republic wannabe.

Packing the court only delegitimizes it. 
You didn't complain when Republicans created a huge backlog by refusing to even have hearings for Obama appointments and then rushed to fill them under Trump. You're only against stacking now because you anticipate the Dems will soon have control of both houses and the executive.

Tony Bobulinski Held presser. Here's the link



Remember, the Russian scandal is just the side dish. The real one is the Chinses Communist Party's bribery of Biden

And Democrats did the same to Bush.  Packing not stacking.  It doesn’t sound like you know what you’re talking about.  Packing the court means expanding it from 9 justices to 12, 15, whatever.  And the republicans can expand it again to 17 or 20, and so on.  Hopefully this illustrates how ludicrous this idea is and how destructive to the institution of the court.

Sometimes the court is more liberal, especially in the past.  Sometimes it’s more conservative.  It’s not meant to be a mini House of Representatives.  Packing the court only delegitimizes it.  You’re completely insane if you think that’s an appropriate action.  When FDR tried it, he was roundly denounced by both parties.  It’s what happens in banana republics.  If you want to appoint judges, win the presidency and control the senate.  You don’t expand the number of judges.  That’s absurd and illustrates how out of touch you are with American history and politics.  Yours is one of the stupidest I’ve ever read in this echo chamber forum.

The US is a banana republic. There’s even a monkey in charge.

I’ve learned of late that Americans are no more conservative than Canadians. Their system of government is simply structured to make it look that way. The people’s will is constantly thwarted by the refusal to grant statehood to Puerto Rico, the outdated upper chamber, the unrepresentative House of Representatives, and the electoral college. It’s a banana republic.

What’s destructive is holding a Supreme Court dear open for 317 days and expecting people to forget your hypocrisy.

The court is significantly more conservative than the American public.

Why is it always so easy to stump you by just asking you to clarify what you're talking about? It's like you just repeat talking points without reading about the issue further.

How come you weren't concerned about destroying the institution of the court when the GOP arbitrarily deflated the number to 8 for nearly a year for partisan political purposes?

What's the issue? They clearly need to do something. The court is completely out of touch with America.

America elected a conservative POTUS and a conservative Senate.  Gerrymandering is bad, but you can't gerrymander the electoral college or the Senate.  I don't want a conservative SCOTUS, but that's not my call.

Expanding the SCOTUS for the sole purpose of stacking it in your favour is what you'd call a banana republic.  Imagine if Harper or Trump had done something like that.

The Senate is in fact gerrymandered (never mind the fact that it's an outdated model for representation) because Republicans have ensured that Puerto Ricans have no representation there.

Imagine if the people's will was thwarted virtually every time a Republican held the presidency in my lifetime.

Wait, you don't have to imagine that.
