Article 12 of the Constitution says Presidents can swap out SC justices that they don't like.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

Sorry, that's actually "swamp out".

"If I win the Presidency, we will swamp (sic) Justice Ginsburg with real judges and real legal opinions!"

1. What he actually envisions doing

is having his storm troopers "Arrest" and rough up RBG with the likelihood of her dying or being injured to the point of resignation from the bench.

This is how Hitler acted to "correct" the German nation in the build up to WWII.

5. No. President Trump would fabricate some controversy and then demand that she step down.

"How can she possibly rule on some policy of the Trump-administration when she has said something mean about some other policy of Trump in the past?"

2. Yes, because Ginsburg...

Is not a real judge and does not have real legitimate legal opinions -- whatever that means. Sorry Trump, but she is one of the smartest jurists to be on the SC in modern times.

I bet that Trump will nominate the hack lawyers that helped him in one of his 3500 frivolous law suits.

3. Sounds like Trump wants to lift a page from FDR's game plan and try to pack the bench

4. FDR didn't remove anyone he just kept adding in his favor

[Brother Buzz]

6. Correct, but he couldn't do it until he had a favorable congress

Our job is to flip Congress to make sure that would never happen if the pompous ass was actually elected.

7. When the subject of a Dem president comes up, DU is unanimous in it's desire for court packing

Just sayin'

[Brother Buzz]

8. Congress has the final say

Checks and balances, and all that shit. Just sayin'

GOTV

[Hekate]

9. I know that and you know that, but many pixels have died in agony at DU....
