Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell tore into President Biden’s new commission studying potential changes to the Supreme Court, Fox News reports.

McConnell released a statement calling Biden’s commission, which will study topics including whether to add more seats to the nation’s highest court, a “direct assault on our nation’s independent judiciary.”

1. If anyone knows about assaults on our country

it is Mc Turtle.

[Takket]

2. The direct assault occurred...

When McConnell refused to carry out the Senate’s constitutional duty to provide “advice and consent” on Garland by inventing a rule that doesn’t exist. It continued when McConnel then refused to implement the non existent rule that HE INVENTED with Barrett.

Mitch: shove it up your ass.

And let’s be real the commission is only writing a report. It isn’t even implementing any changes, nor does it have the power to. The Congress still has the right to accept or reject anything the commission suggests. So if it can’t do anything to change the judiciary, how is it an assault?

[Bayard]

6. But that, "rule", only applies to Dems

Not when they shove a far right conservative on at the last minute.

3. Ha - there are no words for . ...

hypocrisy, i.e. the latest installment of the USA Supreme Court.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

4. McConnell is saying the quiet things out loud.

The US Supreme Court has become a political arm of the Republican Party and McConnell is upset that there is a commission to look into that? McConnell is the reason for this.

He can oppose everything he wants. He will lose. The Court should be expanded to equal the number of Federal Circuts...13.

Have a retirement age with a pension at 75.

Just my 2 cents worth.

[Volaris]

11. And after age 75 and mandatory retirement, they can file as many Amicus Breifs as they want,

WHENEVER they want. Their expierence and insight can count. Their VOTE cannot.

[Turbineguy]

5. "Thank you for the nice compliment, sir!"

[C_U_L8R]

7. Chin flapping court packer says what.

Go to hell, Mitch

[Scrivener7]

8. Yeah, but who cares what Moscow Mitch says? His lips are moving, so nothing to see here.

[MissMillie]

9. says the man

who left a seat on SCOTUS empty for 10 months

[SallyHemmings]

10. McConnell has elephant balls

[Firestorm49]

12. An assault on the judiciary?

Did Moscow Mitch just seem to forget the Republican Supreme Court nomination / appointment fiasco, or is he just too old to remember? What an idiot. Day after day this stuff just gets more absurd.

[The Magistrate]

13. McConnell Terrified Evil Scheme Might Be Undone By Fairminded Folks

Would be a much better headline....

[msfiddlestix]

15. Yeppers.. This 1000% n/t

[dalton99a]

14. Same asshole who rammed 234 Trump judges through the Senate and stacked the Supreme Court

[Johonny]

16. And thus, we all know it must be the morally right thing to do

Mitch is always on the wrong side of history.
