A 6-3 Court will invalidate EVERYTHING Biden signs into law

[Wanderlust988]

And I mean EVERYTHING. There will be no law that Biden signs that some nut wing will take to a court and say it validates their constitutional freedoms. I think even a minimum wage will be struck down. Everything will be freedom of religion, civil liberties, etc. The ONLY remedy we have it to expand the court.

Of course, this is assuming Trump's replacement gets a vote. The only way the Court doesn't expand is if Biden gets to choose her replacement, otherwise, we're in big shit even if Biden wins.

1. A 6-3 court yeah....

But not a 6-9 court.

[Ronjon55]

2. And 4 extra senators from dc and PR

[vercetti2021]

5. Add Guam as well

6 and many more house seats.

[Wanderlust988]

9. No more assing around if Trump gets a replacement

We must add states and must expand the court. No more Mr. Nice Guy. This is war!

[RandySF]

3. We should give up?

Is that what you're saying?

[BannonsLiver]

14. That was how I read it.

[vercetti2021]

4. Strike hard, strike fast, no mercy

We will win. We're not going home.

[BGBD]

8. Sweep the leg

.

[vercetti2021]

10. Love that show

But we must become Cobra Kai. No more mercy or kid games.

[regnaD kciN]

6. Which means "Biden winning" isn't enough...

We NEED to win back control of the Senate as well.

[Sunsky]

18. This should be our rallying cry

Come on Kentucky you gave us Gov. Beshear, you can get rid of McConnell once and for all.

7. Democrats MUST kill the filibuster and expand the court to reverse the damage.

The Supreme Court is not some sacred temple of law and equity. It has become a political institution (Exhibit A: Bush v. Gore)

It is time for people to wake up and realize that Republicans are using the judicial branch as a means to maintain veto power over Democrats and to perpetuate minority rule.

[Drunken Irishman]

11. People need to step back and realize they're not going to pack the court.

Even if Biden came out tomorrow and said, if elected, he was going to add two additional justices, doing so will require holding the entire majority in place - if the Democrats get a majority.

Because I guarantee you no Republican is going to come out and support it.

Will every single Democrat support it?

I doubt it. Joe Manchin is not going to support it. That right there, with the razor thin majority the Democrats have, likely ends any court packing scheme.

And even if it were to pass - it sets up the GOP to turn around and add additional justices when they win back the WH and Senate. Where does it end?

It becomes a political football and delegitimizes the courts.

The most likely solution is not the best but it's to introduce term limits. 18 years.

But I don't see adding two additional justices to the court proving at all viable.

[Wanderlust988]

13. 11 permanent SC justices and 4 rotating ones

That's an idea that would be considered more fair. They could randomly select 4 judges from the appellate courts to work on cases and it would be random so no one would know ahead of time. That would solve a lot of your concerns about Republicans gaining power and doing the same thing.

[regnaD kciN]

15. Which is why we need more than a bare majority...

Remember, it's similar to what we see now: if we get a 53-47 majority in November, for example, we can afford to lose Manchin and two others, with Harris breaking the 50-50 tie.

Nevertheless, I think we need to leave the option open, and very explicitly so, at least as a threat that might persuade a few crucial Republican senators to hold off on confirming a replacement until a new presidential term begins.

(And, by the way, I have thought term limits are a good idea as well, but not on that schedule. More like "the longest sitting Justice has to retire every second year." That way, a president can nominate a maximum of two new Justices per term. Otherwise, some presidents might get the chance to name three or more, while others might not get a chance at any.)

19. Term limits for SCOTUS would require a Constitutional amendment

[TreasonousBastard]

12. Yannow-- FDR spent a couple of years watching every piece of New Deal legislation...

knocked down by the Supreme Court. Led him to try to expand and pack the court.

But, things eventually changed without the packing. And no matter what happens this November, things will change again.

everybody stop the hand wringing and get out the vote.

[Mike Niendorff]

16. 28 USC 1

EXPAND. THE. COURT.


MDN

[duforsure]

17. We have to focus on voting out office trump , Moscow Mitch ,

And all republicans first or they'll escalate their attacks on the system of Justice, and our Democracy. Now is not the time to give up, its time or rise up against them with our votes.

[Stallion]

23. Exactly

[BlueWavePsych]

21. No more Mr Nice Guy. We have to fight dirty!

[Demsrule86]

22. or we win the senate and expand the court...but we run on the economy and the pandemic.

so as not to give the GOP a reason to vote for Dump.
