Yeah! Then when Biden wins, They should first divide California into 6 states and use that newly gained congressional capital to force an appeal of the 23'rd so they can grant DC statehood! Biden won't pack the court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sactowndog Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Is there much point to this thread when we all know the nomination will pass?? On the slim chance it does get stopped my guess the 4 Senators who stop it are: Collins Murkowski Alexander Roberts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t say whether I approved it or not. I just said it will for sure happen and will make for a very uncertain legal environment. Both sides write laws targeting the other like Trump did with the mortgage tax and sales tax write offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah, I think it’s safe to say the Republicans weren’t going to remove it even if it would get them what they want in the short term. Quote We’re all sitting in the dugout.

robe Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 It look like we have 48 confirmed no votes. 3 more and it’s over. I think McConnell will confirm votes and if they aren’t there he will make a recess and let Trump do a recess appointment. Then who ever wins gets the final appointment.

FresnoFacts Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Historically, In the 1800s, Congress was increasing the size of the Supreme Court to match the increasing number of federal judicial districts being created. There is historical precedent for changing the SCOTUS size along with the more recent tradition of only 9 members. There are currently 12 federal judicial districts (11 covering the states plus a separate district for DC). A change to 12 associate justices plus a chief justice might be historically supported. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GOP are, in fact, the ones who most recently utilized the "nuclear option" to remove the filibuster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
