On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated that Democrats “would certainly be in the constitutional right” to pack the Supreme Court, Republicans have already packed courts, “everything will be on the table” if Democrats control the White House and the Senate, and Democrats won’t “fall into the trap of debating” court-packing now.Schumer said, “We would certainly be in the constitutional right to do it. Let me say this, you know, the Republicans are always looking for a smokescreen. They don’t want America to know that this justice would take away their health care.

That's right Chuck, put Biden/Harris into even more of a corner than they are already in regarding court packing. While Biden can not answer or deny that he will pack the courts, his Democrat minions keep saying that it will happen. If, as Biden claims, he is the Democrat Party, then Biden's answer to "will you pack the courts?" is most definitely YES.

There is no Constitutional argument to the number of SCOTUS judges. However one day Republicans could do the same thing. Going back and forth we could eventually have a 13, 15, 17, 21 or more judges, a true banana republic.
The thing to keep in mind is there is no reason Democrats won't do this no matter what happens with Barrett when they get the chance. This is not a threat, it's a political strategy they intend to implement. They have already tried to remove the president with KNOWN FRADULENT evidence.
There are no more political norms the likes of which held our democracy together. You can see it in the language of Democrats, vile, disgusting, disrespectful and justified without a blink of an eye.

I've known too many old fools who refer to themselves as proud Democrats or staunch Democrats.
To a man, willfully ignorant, useful idiots would be more to the point.

Government institutions don't have 'rights,' Putz. They have powers.
If they win the House, Senate and White House they will have the power to change the makeup of the SC. But would-be rulers who change the rules for their benefit are tyrants in the making.

It does take full control of the government, including a 60 vote Senate, to change the size of the Supreme Court. Of course the 60 vote requirement could be lifted but after the Dems see what lifting that requirement for confirmations, they may not want to further erode the filibuster.

Fortunately for Republicans, Chuckie doesn't know how to shut his mouth.

American citizens have the Constitutional POWER and right to ensure Democrats NEVER have the ability to pack the court. For Democrats tp pack the court they must, at a minimum, pass legislation through both houses of Congress and get it signed by a sitting President.
It just ain't gonna happen.

Senator Chuckles. Think of it this way. Neither Slow Joe or Mattressback Harrison will answer that question because they are both smarter than you. Not saying much. They fully understand that messing with the Supreme Court is political POISON. If they say they're for it 75% of the voters will toss them. If they say they're against it they can kiss the Bernie bros goodbye.
If somehow they actually do it they create The Republic of Texas.

Schumer needs to go back to law school. He either never learned or has forgotten the law. I know he has never had a real job outside of politics. He needs to get out of Congress and see how the people who pay his salary live. He has gotten meaner and dumber over the years. Time for him to go. Listen up, New York. Do you really want to live in America run by Communists like your Governor and Mayor.

Easy solution. Demon-Rats try this, it is immediately declared "unconstitutional" by the Supreme Court.
As Roe v. Wade proved, the SCOTUS doesn't need any Constitutional reason to declare anything unconstitutional. Call it a "privacy issue".
If the Demon-Rats want to play fast and lose with our republic, take full advantage of the SCOTUS having a Constitutional majority and use it!!!!!

Schumer is at least as mentally ill as Biden.
