Justice Breyer warns fellow liberals against packing the court

[Counselor706]

Liberals have been crying for Congress to pack the Supreme Court — meaning expanding the size of the court and filling the newly created vacancies with left-wingers — for some time. And the demands have grown more shrill over the last year-plus.

But one prominent liberal with a vested interest in the topic issued a warning: Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer told National Public Radio this week that liberals wanting to remake the high court to need to understand that "what goes around comes around."

Breyer responded, "What goes around comes around. If the Democrats can do it, the Republicans can do it."

"Beware," the justice added. "Be careful."

Better to have a mandatory retirement age of 70.

For all federal offices, including Congress. Not the presidency, but only because that would require a constitutional amendment. With any other office, ordinary legislation would do.

Of course, Breyer is a SCOTUS justice himself. None of them like the idea of court-packing, because it means they'd be devalued.

Federal judges are appointed for life per Article III.

I love how Democrats talk about shit and Trumpies work themselves into a frenzy over it.

Many Dems were hoping Breyer would step down. October is almost here and there’s no sign of him bowing to the pressure.

Yep...lots of left wing pundits have been angry about it. I think Breyer is demonstrating his lack of politics by not giving in. Politics is not something he should consider in his role.

REMEMBER!!

The people you voted for and put into office are the ones saying and doing this.

And it's those "Trumpies" you deride who fight against it.

Trumpies fight for other Trumpies. They're the ones seriously talking about seceding.

Their entire policy stance is twofold:
1. Get rid of Democrats who hate America by getting rid of blue areas of the country
And
2. Make up shit to overturn a free and fair election so their orange god can rule again

You don't get it, do you?

The dems add 4 chairs to the court. The repubs come into power and they add another 5. Ad infinitum. It would never end.

Really? Those women in Afghanistan who are getting BEATEN in the street by the Taliban whom Joe, the coward, Biden put into power are "Trumpies"?

Who knew...


Meanwhile, I wonder what all those "progressive women" who voted for Biden are thinking when they see those images. "First we take Georgia, then we change the world..." coming to a town near you.

Women who held positions of power in the last administration and or may have passed judgment on males, are being hunted and killed, some are hung, some are simply shot in the face.

What's not to understand? It's just 2 molecules of a volatile carbon based organic bonded with an oxydizer and maintained at a temperature which keeps it in a liquid state.

Or don't you know that?

You codify the number of Justices to the number of Federal court districts. Currently 13. Who doesn’t get it?
