Stacking the court
Originally posted by IkemanTX View PostThey already regretted obama getting rid of the filibuster for judges, because Trump took full advantage of that. They better be REAL careful getting rid of it altogether. I can’t see them winning the mid-terms the way they’re going. Moderate Dems are already disliking a lot of the recent moves, and senators/congressmen in shaky dem district will be straight up gone if it continues.
Then, they will be crying about republican overreach the next time Republicans own the house and senate and use the lack of filibuster against them.

Agree. I think this is why they haven’t done it yet. Manchin is warning them that the pendulum swings both ways at some point. But if they do get the nerve to get rid of it, Katie bar the door. They’ll have to go go full blast left (DC statehood, SC packing) to prevent getting mauled by the lack of a filibuster when the reps have power again. They left would have to establish a permanent beachhead. IMO if that filibuster goes, the other dominoes are right behind it. But I just don’t see any of that happening on Biden‘s watch.

They don’t need the house and senate Republicans to do anything as long as they use EO or reconciliation. That’s all the senile old fart has done. And yes, the cowing be recognizable in four years. So we have 20,000 illegal children in custody right now. Once they get established they can bring their family over. Check mate. Cheap labor for the big corporations and Americans have been booted out by a completely foreign, uneducated voting block. Our sovereignty has to be destroyed so globalization can begin. The population has to be disarmed.

Originally posted by huntandfishguy6 View PostIt's funny that the left wants to eat one of their own. Justice Stephen Breyer, spoke out against packing the court. Now the demorats want him to retire.
They want him to retire so they don’t get Ginsberged again. I don’t think it was because he’s against court packing. Sotomeyor is not fond of court packing either but they don’t want her to retire. Why? Because she’s probably not going to die or get sick anytime soon and give a rep president a chance to push the court even further right with an appointment. I think this specific deal with Breyer is about putting young, fresh leftist in the courts existing seats while they have the power to do it, not about increasing the number of justices that can sit on the court.

Originally posted by BrianL View PostI seriously doubt this would pass the senate. Senate is full of lawyers, and lawyers in general don't like changes to their profession. I think Dems would be hard pressed to get all 50 dems to agree on this. Manchin would likely be a solid no...

Originally posted by Rcole1310 View PostIMO won’t happen. I think this is leveraging to get the Republicans in the house and senate to play ball, or this is what we might do. Same with the DC statehood and getting rid of the filibuster (that one may be real though). Would get interesting if the reps. called his bluff on it though.

So far, not much has happened. He won’t get much done outside of EO’s. This booming market is helping my pockets, nothing else.

This is the primary reason the “gates” have been opened, IMHO.

Not much has happened?
So nothing is happening at the border?
