Can I just say that when we get the Senate the first thing we do

[kairos12]

is add 2 or 3 seats to SCOTUS. Start with Mr. Garland. Nobody says it has to be 9.

1. We're gonna need a lot more than just a majority.

Pete had some good ideas he introduced in his campaign.

[Wounded Bear]

2. Nope. Kill the fillibuster. Without that, nothing gets done...

McConnell escalated, time to escalate back.

Unless we can pass shit with a simple majority, Repubs will allow nothing. I can guaran-fucking-tee that.

3. Court packing was a bad idea when FDR suggested

it in 1937. It still is.

[mobeau69]

4. The court felt the heat and that's what FDR wanted. nt

[rsdsharp]

5. Maybe. Maybe not.

Roberts vote and decision in the Parrish case, the “switch in time that saved nine,”. Took place before the legislation was introduced, or even announced.

6. TERM LIMITS for ALL lifetime appointments, to reverse Moscow Mitch's court-packing

We cannot have several generations of conservative SCOTUS & lower court appointees.

8. You beat me to it, tex! LOL

I posted the same thing right after you. Brilliant minds...

[onetexan]

9. Great minds think alike...

[dixiechiken1]

7. Better yet, term limits on SCOTUS justices.

Nothing less than 12 year terms or more than 20, IMO. Then, stagger them so they cycle in and out. No more lifetime appointments.

We live in rapidly changing times. The politicization of the court is a big problem that needs to be addressed.

10. Garland is too old at this point.

Anyone we nominate to the Supreme Court needs to be in their mid mid-50's or younger.

[Stinky The Clown]

11. How about 57 year old Sherrilyn Ifill?

[Ace Rothstein]

12. Assuming RBG retires early Feb 2021.

Let's do it.
