Sen. Chris Coons is calling for sweeping federal court reform following Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court, saying there are “hundreds” of President Trump-appointed judges in the lower courts who are too right-leaning to be “allowed to sit peaceably.”
Mr. Coons, Delaware Democrat and member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, made the comments during an appearance Monday night on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show,” saying Democrats need to have “a wide-open conversation about how we rebalance our courts.”
“Yes, the two Supreme Court seats that have been stolen

Maybe Trump could make a nickname for Coons, maybe “Cris the Clown Coons”. If coons thinks sc seats were stolen let him state the law that was broken. Until recently I actually thought he was 1 of a few dems Left with any integrity or morality but not anymore.

So he wants to "rebalance" the courts. Especially when they are called upon to consider "gun safety" laws.

What some think is “unbalanced”, others are grateful for a long needed correction

Lets use Emmet G. Sullivan as the standard, show us evidence that ideology is violating legality.
There is a line where Political Rhetoric crosses into criminal Sedition.
Coons crossed it a long time ago.

Right. Like all the Democrat appointed judges are right down the middle of the road.

one more time - google King Of The Hill and look at Dale Dautreve, the not very bright Army barber. Coons is his twin. Same bald head, same vacant blue eyed stare, same shortness.
I'm beginning to think Delaware doesn't do anything right.

This sounds like a clear threat to me. Coons words may incite other, more volatile people to unlawful behavior, including violence. Minimally, it violates the Senate demand for comity among members.

There's a judge in Hawaii that shows you what Coon wants! Coons is just mad because it's getting harder to shop for judges that will make up laws/rules for them or over rule the duly elected President of the United States.

"Sit peaceably"? Go straight to hell, Senator Coons, you vile venom dispenser. What in the blazes is that supposed to mean?
Is the evil senator encouraging his brain damaged minions to follow Maxine Waters' instructions? That means to get in their faces everywhere they go until they leave public life in terror, mau-maued underneath some cosmic rock that could serve as a safe place from leftists who'd like to kill them in the street. The reason honorable Americans won't get rid of their firearms is precisely because of totalitarian wannabes like Coons, who ought to be given a plumeopician ride out of DC. That means tied to a rail, dripping tar and feathers. Deal Lord, how comprehensively evil some Democrats have become. If anything Coons's colleague Mazie is worse. They're the worst people in America.

So does Coons just want riots after the election or is he calling for out and out civil war.

Coons was Biden’s top aid while Biden was holding done a US Senate seat from Delaware, now Coons is holding down that same Senate seat. That’s all you need to know about Coon’s current comments.

First, Coonie Boy, your god Obama had over 100 judicial positions that he didn't fill so look at him first.
Second, this is typical Democrat. If they don't get what they want they want to change the system and any change they propose will always, always benefit only them and not the country.

" too right-leaning to be allowed to sit PEASEABLY.” is a direct threat! (emphasis added)
Chrisy Coons is, and always has been, a clown.
I
He earned a master's degree in ETHICS from Yale Divinity School. Apparently he does not remember the ethics he was taught. Yale Divinity School's motto is "Urim and Thummim." It has been translated to mean "lights and perfections" or "revelation and truth."

Maybe my memory is faulty, but I swear Coons used to be far more amiable than he now appears to be. Schumer has leaned on him and is telling to carry more water.

Rather than dismissing Coons as a clown, we should be taking his threats seriously. This talk from Coons and his fellow democrats should strike fear in the hearts of all Americans. You know he didn't come up with these ideas on his own.

Yes, Coon Man - - it's time for a War On Judges!
But not all judges - - let's just clear out the ones you don't like. That's the America we want! Let the mob rule!

Coons is a member of a group that supports killing unborn children. He appeared on a TV show hosted by a woman who is not sure if she is a man or woman. I suggest that one consider the source.

They are now showing fully how they've used the Courts to do what they know they can't legislatively.
The good news, shows President Trump and the Republican Senate is doing a good job.

Since much of the commentary software so many sites elsewhere use now won't let you type this democrat's actual name, I prefer to call him Senator Trash Panda. That doesn't get hooked up in the moderation filters. I guess they are totally okay with the judicial activists illegally ruling on things based not on law, but their own bias? That bias is not based in law or the constitution. But their own racism, bias and wrong headed thinking.

Using Coon's logic, I would offer that there are far too many left-leaning judges, Congressmen, military officers, journalists, and US citizens who are allowed to bully, lie, cheat, and do anything to acquire political power to be allowed to sit peaceably in our constitutional republic. My biggest takeaway for this election season is wondering just how so many people-people we all know-have been so successful at abandoning their common sense and adopting a monolithic Liberal Hivemind. How could so many people be brainwashed into pulling for the Democrats, when they are actually going against their own best interests? This is the mystery of the 21st century.

Balance on the courts would be defined as justices that uphold the law and constitution. The same judges would equally apply the law, regardless idealology. Anything else is partisanship.
Democrats dont want balance in the law or ideology. They want a judicial system that advances their agenda, regardless the law or constitution.

IIRC, It was Coons' daughter that was sniffed and fondled by, Joe Biden, at his swearing in. She looked very uncomfortable
while her parents were laughing behind her. Coons will have major reckoning when this little girl becomes a teenager. How cound the parents sleep at night putting political gain ahead of this child....

Coons showed that he is not much of a man when he stood there motionless and silent at a White House ceremony and watched the pervert Joseph Biden inappropriately invade his young teen daughter’s space right in front of a number of video cameras.

He means that in addition to the Supreme Court, all circuit courts will be expanded in size to obtain a liberal majority, hence the conservatives will be facing an unfair fight on every politicized issue. It is the same principle as Gerrymandering by changing congressional districts from red to blue. The end-result of all of the Dem plans, including adding four Senate seats and adding 20 million new voters, is one-party rule to complement a one-party press. Within two years, the Republicans will be marginalized to a permanent minority, scorned, rebuked, chastised and driven from the the public debate. If we want to keep our jobs or get into college, we will need to get along to go along.

Let's compromise and do away with the federal judiciary entirely. America can do without an un-elected, un-accountable autocratic political power.
