Let them, how would that be different if dumb Cons weren't packing it? We are back to square one which is good enough. How would Cons undo the extra states though?
Obama tried to slam a candidate in during the lame duck session and failed because the repubs had control of the boat. This was made possible by your boy Harry Reid implementing the nuclear option. Tortoise-man fired back and extended it to supreme court justices. Reid let the cat out of the bag, tortoise man strapped a fucking rocket to it and sent it into the sun. That cat will never come back to this side of the galaxy now. This is the biggest cope I've seen from nearly every democrat I've ever talked to. It's like you casually ignore all of 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2016 because it's convenient. With all this discussion of court packing the dems clearly haven't learned opening a pandora's box your opponents will leverage against you when you lose the house/senate is a fucking terrible idea. But democrats are extremely shortsighted in general so I'm not surprised at all they think "bringing back balance" by stacking the courts and implementing absurd new rules will NEVER come back to bite them. We are quickly headed into one party rule and your boy Reid was the pale rider. We won't get it back. The Democrats are vying for 1 party rule. We are in completely uncharted waters. Best case - Trump wins, Senate stays red, House stays Blue Ok case 1 - Trump wins, Senate goes blue, house goes red Ok case 2 - Trump loses, Senate stays red, house stays blue. With supreme court control and control of the senate Biden will be incapable of doing anything. Democrat Monarchy by 2022 case - Trump loses, Senate goes blue, house goes blue. Full blown power grab, supreme court undoes the 2 term election laws and rewrites chunks of the constitution erasing 2/3rds of the bill of rights, Biden dies after his 3rd term at age 200, Kamala takes over and runs America for 50 years. The entire structure of America undone in order to "save democracy". We all learn mandarin and our leader in 2060 is Chinese. Republican Monarchy by 2022 case - Trump wins, Senate stays red, house goes red. See above but instead Trump has 3 terms, then his son, then other son, then his daughter. We descend into a traditionalist republic and we all are speaking Russian and stoning each other for apostasy by 2060.
Yes, Biden brain farted George Bush instead of Donald Trump with his clear “Four more of George...” statement. While I don’t believe Joe has dementia, he certainly does have age-relatied cognitive decline as shown by him losing his train of thought at least three times during the final Presidential debate versus one time by Trump. Further, if Joe had serious dementia, physical and emotional manifestations should be evident. Attached below is a YouTube video of Biden’s statement: Interesting Democrats, the media, social media trolls, and their partisan fact checkers felt a need to respond to claims concerning Joe’s alleged dementia, however.

What was it I wanted anyway? Never mind, the stores are all closed now anyway! Stage three for me, beginning in my teenage years!
except the nuclear option was not implemented for SCOTUS, but you know that. except the GOP obstructed record judicial appointments unlike anything seen in the history of the US forcing the "nuclear options" but you know that. except government doesn't just stop for 2 yrs for losing the senate unless obstructionism to force a dem loss is the point, but you know that. No one that matters honestly gives a flying fuck if SCOTUS is expanded, make it 101 judges, it becomes harder to game it with partisan hacks at that point.
corrected statement, the GOP doesn't care what Americans think anyway: https://www.forbes.com/sites/joewal...oppose-court-packing-poll-finds/#7644afc04e49 https://news.gallup.com/poll/243611/disapprove-approve-2017-tax-cuts.aspx
The majority are left leaning, they will be forced to change their mind once the country goes full Taliban. If Trump was packing the court you would be cheering a necessary power move.
We are not done yet. Lots of vacancies in the lower and appellate courts still needs to be filled with more conservative judges. Time to neuter the extreme liberal activist judges fighting President Donald Trump on all his policies. It is a waste of tax dollars, what they are doing only to be overruled by the US Supreme Court. When, they become an insignificant minority, that would end their BS.
