SCOTUS--the return of Court packing...

[Mr. Deez]

That goes a long way in explaining why the liberals hate the Constitution.

Explains a lot of why they're freaking out about the Supreme Court. Beginning with the West Coast Hotel v. Parrish case in 1937 (the so-called "switch in time that saved 9"), the Court basically caved in and decided it was better to ignore the Constitution and mostly let the Left have its way. They did this is in response to the Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937, which was FDR's court-packing and "reform" bill, and sure enough, the Democrats stopped pushing that bill.

Now that the Court has gone back on that deal and stopped making appeasing the Left a higher priority than enforcing the Constitution, they're resurrecting a similar threat to the one they were making in 1937. So long as the GOP doesn't throw this election away, the Court should be ok.

"Thune: Democrats’ Supreme Court “Reforms” Amount to Changing the Rules in the Middle of the Game"

“And while the president’s proposals are troubling enough – a measure to circumvent the Constitution’s lifetime appointments for justices and replace the Supreme Court’s own code of conduct with a code of conduct mandated by Democrat congressmembers – who knows if Democrats will stop there.

“After all, while their proposal would conveniently start by retiring Republican appointees, Democrats would only be able to retire one justice every two years. “Who’s to say that would be fast enough for Democrats?

“We all know that court-packing – expanding the Supreme Court until you get a sufficient number of justices to endorse your policies – has gained significant traction in Democrat circles. “Indeed, President Biden’s term-limits proposal is a version of court-packing by another name.

“And it would not surprise me at all if Democrats didn’t stop there.
“Because make no mistake, Mr. President, this is a slippery slope.
“Once you start interfering, there is no going back.

“If the Democrats implement this plan, it is easy to see a future where each subsequent administration acts to ‘return balance’ to the Supreme Court, with the result that the Supreme Court changes wildly from administration to administration, losing all independence and credibility and any resemblance to the Supreme Court as established by the Constitution.

“I’d like to remind my Democrat colleagues of what happened with the filibuster for judicial nominees here in the Senate.

That's a much bigger 'if' then you'd ever think it should be.
