Democrats have threatened to pack the Supreme Court if Donald Trump's nomination gets confirmed following the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The president on Saturday urged the GOP-run Senate to consider 'without delay' his upcoming nomination to fill the seat vacated by Justice Ginsburg, who died Friday after a battle with cancer. The move comes just six weeks before the election and has sparked fierce debate, with many Democrats - as well as some Republicans - insisting the seat must not be filled until after the election. Several Democrats have vowed the party will expand the size of the court if they capture the Senate
If Trump wins I definitely think we should pack the court in 2021

They've already threatened to pack the court if they win in 2020. What's new? They're like a tantrum-throwing two year old running out of ways to act out to get his way.

Exactly #2, so what do we have to loose by going through with the nomination. The vote on the nomination should be held the week after the general election to motivate Collins and the others to do the right thing.

Why wait until 2021? There’s still 45 days left. Pack it now.

Why is this news? This has been their plan since Trump got 2 conservative justices.

They don’t threaten unless there is already a playbook with chapter and verse.
Nothing but raw power. Not love of anything or anyone. Just raw, unadulterated power.

They can pass anything they want. But with a solid Constitutional majority on the SCOTUS, it will immediately be found unconstitutional!!!!
In other words, a huge, showy waste of time and tax dollars -- the two things Demon-Rats do best, wasting time and tax dollars!!!!!

Here are a few other ideas for the Democrats if they lose: Go north and butt thunder; go pound sand; toot if you eat regular, and beso mi extremo trasero. Thank you and have a nice day.

If they get power, they will pack the court, kill the filibuster, add DC and PR to get four more senators, they will then pass laws the packed court will uphold destroying the Bill of Rights. What the Repubs do with Ginsburg’s seat now is irrelevant to their plans. The Dems feel entitled to power and once they get it back they will do everything they can think of to NEVER lose power again. Maybe a few Repubs understand this is an existential battle for the USA as we know it, certainly President Trump knows this. I have no patience for RINO senators who want to play by the good ol’ boy club rules. The Dems aren’t even playing hardball any more, they are at war with us.

It seems only fitting that a Kennedy would make that threat since it was his murderer relative that started all the animosity the Court's selection process is dealing with today.

I don't believe the Constitution spells out how many Justices there are supposed to be, so I'm not sure on what grounds they can be stopped.

FDR couldn't do it and he had a Great Depression and a World War to leverage. This pack of communists aren't up to the job and their muscle, the street thugs and college dropouts, are only good for a couple of sucker punches. The pendulum is long overdue for a big swing back.

First, let me say: Trump should turn that threat into an ad for why you've got to vote Republican.
Second, why do Democrats always assume that they'll forever be in power and the power expansions they propose won't be in Republican hands at some point?

Good gawd people. She died Friday. They are like a pack of wolves. Same people who will cry at her funeral. I am hoping they have a Jewish burial and she is already in the ground.

What am I missing here? If the Democrats up the number of justices to 15, as they are threatening, why would it not still be the president authority to make the appointments ?

Threats are really a great way to win the hearts and minds... NOT. And as #1 says, perhaps the way to respond is to exact the threat back on them.

#14, it doesn't matter. If the SCOTUS says something is unconstitutional, it's unconstitutional. They can make law as well as all of the activist judges out there. And if the Demon-Rats are going to play fast and lose with the rules, so can the SCOTUS!!!
If the SCOTUS could determine that Ovomit-care was a "tax" (remember that doozy), or that the Constitution forbade limitations on abortion, they can most certainly call this Demon-Rat power play to be unconstitutional!!!

Demonrats are all in for destroying this country just to get power and dictatorship back that Barry had. I utterly despise them.

What will really make the democrats go off the deep end is when Stephen Breyer retires and I believe that will be soon. He is a few years younger than Ruth.

I agree with the "Pack it Now" team. They are going to do it the second they are back in power, anyway, regardless of whether Trump is able to replace RBG. Might as well do it now. Get the left to come out against it.
