If court-packing sounds too extreme, then maybe court rotation will do the trick. Now that Judge Amy Coney Barrett has been confirmed to the Supreme Court, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has said he will consider rotating justices if he gets elected next week.Speaking at a campaign stop in Chester, Pennsylvania, Biden said he will consider shifting the Supreme Court justices to lower courts during his tenure.“There is some literature among constitutional scholars about the possibility of going from one court to another court, not just always staying the whole time in the Supreme Court,

"The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour..."
That is: life time appointments. Biden will have no power to demote a justice absent bad behavior or a constitutional amendment

I don't think that would be supported by the Supreme Court! Haha!
Apparently Biden, like most democrats, failed Civics class in High School.

How do they know that's what Biden said? Who can understand him these days? "Who he is is who he is"? Come on, man!

Biden is a puppet for the far left-wing. Younger Joe was never this radical. He was a blustering blowhard, but he supported the Iraq war, advocated spending cuts and never sponsored anything radical (did he ever sponsor anything?). His deal, obviously, is to support Bernie's agenda in exchange for Bernie's (and AOC's, etc.) support. And add to that, his ties to China. He is China's man, no doubt.

C'mon , man! Does anyone really believe that Biden himself thought up this stunt? His keepers/manipulators are behind this sham as they are on everything else that Sleepy Joe days and does.

I'm just gonna say NO to this one, Biden. Why don't we rotate the House members, or the Senate, for that matter? Or even the Presidency? We all know the goal of the Democrats is to make the gvt. into whatever they need it to be to serve their goals, not We The People. Oh BTW Joe, it was hilarious how Jill was trying to whisper "Trump" out of the side of her mouth when you were calling him George the other day!

President Donald J. Trump has the potential to nominate two (2) more justices to the Supreme Court if he wins this election. earth shattering!! couldn't happen to a better person.

That's not court packing, it's court picking. Hum? Need a decision in your favor? Just appoint the correct judge to the case.

Biden is open to changing any rule that will favor the Democrats and keep them in power forever, including making it illegal to be a Republican, or at least for one to get elected.

#1 -- your comment assumes that Democrats give two s _ _ _ s about the Constitution.
Others -- I will give a thumbs-up to almost any comment that includes the phrase "come on man."

On his own, Biden or any other president, cannot demote any judge, even by reason of bad behavior. Federal judges must be impeached--they can't be fired or demoted. That can only be changed through a constitutional amendment.

The Constitution says that they are appointed for life. Extremely unlikely that they could get the required 2/3 of state legislatures to support a constitutional amendment.
These morons continuously rattle on about "what we would do" when much of their "plans" are totally outside the capability of ordinary law, requiring a constitutional amendment which is nearly zero probability.
Just crazy Marxist talk, as usual.

#16, 3/4 of the states have to ratify an amendment to the u.S. Constitution.
The 2/3 rule used to apply to cloture in the U.S. Senate. Then around 1974, dead Ted Kennedy pushed through a rule change making it 3/5.
The other 2/3 has to do with removal from office.

The Democrat socialists don’t care about the intricacies of the Constitution and the law, they just want to ensure that there are a big majority of activist liberal Judges in the Federal Courts to help them pursue their progressive or socialist political agenda. If they grant themselves the political power to get that done, they will switch Judges around until they are sure that they have effectuated enough changes to make sure that there is always going to be a big majority of activist liberal judges in the Federal Courts by hook or by crook. If the Democrat socialists can’t get their way because of the current laws, procedures, and the Constitution, the Democrat socialists will simply, if they have the power, change the laws, procedures, and the interpretation of the Constitution to their favor.

We need to start rotating democrats off of the planet. What have they ever done. Aside from stealing taxpayer money and aside from stealing elections, what have these freakin scum bags done. Look at democratic run cities and states. Total war zones. Crime, drugs and illiteracy. That's what they have. The stench from a democratic city can be felt a thousand miles away. And their illiterate voters still don't get it. Do these morons ever wake up.

Hey man, why not? Let's do away with the electoral college too. If fact, let's have celebrities take a vote as they certainly have a good sense of morals and lawfulness.

In a later unguarded moment Biden said "You have to pay to play...c'mon man...the Big Guy has to eat". Judges sending the largest amount of hard cash to Hunter Biden for dispersal to the big guy will get their shot at the Supreme!!! "We don't need no stinking' Constitution" Biden was heard laughing with his wife "Dr." Jill as they walked away double masked each...but with no eye protection!

Thanks for correcting me, #17. I actually used to know that, but you are right, got off track.
In any case, an even HIGHER bar to a constitutional amendment.
Their changes will not be happening.

Thus making independent judges the mere playthings of the Executive and/or Legislature. It was for this very reason that the developers of a thousand years of Western Cuture's Rules for Government of a free people developed the principles of an Independent Judiciary i.e. that Judges should be appointed for life and allowed to sit there "for as long as they behave themselves" ( "Quam diue se bene gesserint") i/e remain competent , remain independent and unbiased and treat everyone equally under the Rule of Law and that includes the Constitution..
