Activist judges pushing a far-left agenda have been legislating from the bench, and a handful of Supreme Court Justices committed to upholding the Constitution is the only thing stopping the left's total transformation of the country. For that reason, Democrats have been lying in wait for the opportunity to take out the Supreme Court.
Democrats are no longer hiding their disdain for the high court. Democrats openly admit to hostile court-packing plans that would stuff the Supreme Court full of activist judges who would then sign off on everything Democrats couldn't sneak past the voters.

I don’t know. The urgency doesn’t seem to be there now that ACB and BK have fallen into line.
Sidebar: there have been a couple of things under the radar: 1) The President got his picks from The Federalist Society, I believe. There has been some speculation that they are part of the cabal. (LDotters, correct me if I’m wrong!)
2) I STILL cannot reconcile China Mitch’s good efforts to fill judgeships with his apparent turncoat attitude.
Bottom line. The WHOLE Swamp is a cesspool.

There is no need to pack the Supreme court with liberals, we have 3 that we thought were conservative (Barrett, Kavanaugh and Roberts). With the three other liberals that would make 6. Don't know what the liberals are so upset about, this court will always be in their favor.

Even if Cruz's bill passes the Senate, it's still gotta get passed by the House.....this is nothing more than placating the masses with Punch and Judy...see me I'm really doing something! NOTHING will come of it.

I wish I thought that this was more than just bread and circuses.

Someone please explain to me 3 things; Jeff Sessions, BK and ACB. Is it physical threats, money, ideological compromise or what??? With the life the last 2 led it can almost only be the first, however I surely would have thought they could have countered that. As closely as the dems looked at them there can hardly be anything in their life for which to be blackmailed. I absolutely cannot understand this. They have to know the impact and importance of what they are doing. Lord Jesus help me to understand why they have done this.......and You are the only one who is going to get me to forgive them.

#6, the only explanation I can come up with is that their families are being threatened with bodily harm. If that’s the case I wish one of them would just come out and tell the world about it.

the repub cowards in the senate should unseat mitch and replace him with Ted Cruz. shumer will have a fit if he has to deal with Cruz on more than one occasion, which would be a gift for the repubs.

Perhaps the behavioral psychologists sitting on the focus groups in DC have understood that the push is not workable ... for now...2022 is now their challenge... they must steal that election so they control the house and senate... a push to pack the Supreme Court would rile up WE the people so the election cannot be stolen...same with statehood for DC and Puerto Rico... Upper Michigan and Western California are talking about statehood...the people are awake now and moving to stop DC...one step at a time...

What #3 said. I always liked Ted, but what about this does he not understand. Sort of like elections moving forward, what's the point?

I am about to decide that no one reads the replies or no one can read them. God is going to fix Washington, DC and the judiciary soon. What will you complain about then?

Why is it that no one wants to accept the obvious? We have a UNIPARTY that is at the core of our government. Republicans and Democrats at the national level are like pro 'wrasslers in a ring. All sorts of drang and sturm, shouting and woofing, occasionally "blood" spurts...the crowd roars for the heroes and heels in our squared circle drama...and then a bill is passed and Mitch pronounces "it was the best we could do" as the President signs it into law. (In PDT you just witnessed what happens when someone doesn't play ball.)
Why anyone accepts this, that or any "respected" think tank is anything but a fig leaf player in this charade is beyond me. But...but... the Federalist Society said... Yeah, and one would conclude that they are in the UNIPARTY tank, too. Not every "originalist" pick could be a loser...but the evidence is mounting. It's not about coercion, but careers, power and fame. Read all about it in their upcoming memoirs...
While Americans wave around the Constitution and give the mookie look when the funny stuff happens in Congress and the Supreme Court, the UNIPARTY and its patrons move forward, not least to consolidate gains and power. Or, accept all these competing interests are uncoordinated and resorting to skullduggery that works every time.
We indeed have the best government money can buy.

In re #6, don't forget about AG Barr and the no-show of the Durham report. The fact that the House, Senate, and SCOTUS all avoided addressing the election fraud together with the pubbies dissing Trump, tells me that the entire DC swamp was threatened with something really big if they didnt award the election to biden the cheater. My guess? Covid20. Where did the threats come from? Well, where did covid19 come from?

I am a retired Federal executive attorney, with thirty years' experience in the Justice Department and other agencies. As an active member of the Federalist Society for decades, I can assure L-Dotters that the Federalist Society is not -- repeat NOT -- part of any cabal. It's the real deal.
Please trust me on this. I KNOW these people; they are Constitutionalists to the core.

The left is getting 7-2 decisions from the SC. Why would they need to pack it? Conservatives have not gotten any decisions, and have not even been allowed to present their cases.

The only way the number of justices can be kept at nine is to amend the constitution. The only way the constitution can be amended is by enough states coming together and doing it themselves. Congress would be completely cut out of the process.
I think there are enough states to pull it off. Unfortunately there are many so-called consecutive groups who adamantly oppose any effort to alter the constitution in such a manner. Convention of the States is the only method to repair the harm the left and weak Republicans have done to this nation.

The Heritage Action Foundation pushed ACB, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch. Together with John Roberts they destroyed our Nation by not hearing the Texas election fraud case. Without a Supreme Court our system of elections is gone. Not a single red cent to the Heritage Foundation from now on.

OOPS. too late. They already did. Barrett, Kavanaugh and Roberts are frauds and will do as ordered by the globalists and the leftists.

#15 - I’ve been around the Federal government for decades. While I appreciate your assurances re: The Federalist Society, it would be interesting on what basis their chosen nominees are selected seeing the recent results. One is an accident. Two may be a coincidence. Three...well, how did that occur?
