1. I hate to pile on any democratic efforts

but this sounds a lot like the Mueller report. What is the point if you aren't going to make a judgement on it?

2. Didn't see that coming;....

President Biden, Speaker Pelosi and Majority Lead Schumer didn’t support expanding the Court.

The commission didn’t recommend expanding the Court.

Who would have guessed?

5. There's just no way they can get 60 votes

Sorry, Sen. Ed Markey. The votes aren't there.

6. Great- if they take no position, then expand and pack the courts

Once that pesky filibuster is out of the way of course…

7. If they took no position, the decision will rest with Democratic Leadership...

…who don’t want to expand the Court.

8. Won't happen nt

10. Well, they need to do something.

If they don't expand the court then they need to address the two unqualified liars, Caveman Kav and Handmaid Amy, who are currently sitting on it.

Takes 67 to remove.
