Amy Coney Barrett CONFIRMED to the U.S. Supreme Court

[Baka's Weird Case]

Exactly, there has to something preventing it

the judiciary act of 1869 sets the number at nine.
Judiciary Act of 1869 - Wikipedia
but this is just legislation. Congress could pass legislation to expand the court to whatever number they want because the Constitution does not specify this.

i think republicans haven’t done this because they don’t want to cross a rubicon where when the next party is in power, they just appoint more justices etc. under normal circumstances this would be true of the democratic party as well, but i think republicans have already crossed the rubicon because of how they handled the garland nomination and now this coney barrett nomination

They’ve already crossed that line twice they might as well go further. I still don’t get it, Trump/McConnell would have no issues.

Seriously there has to be something else

great link though

Can’t wait to leave the doctor’s office so I can go back home and watch!

Of course, they have a black man seated right behind her.

These republicans are fukkin stupid, they really think pushing ACB through is going to dismantle the ACA.. they going to be livid when it’s still a 5-4 decision to uphold the law just due to it being a global pandemic.. The justices to uphold will be Roberts, Gorsche, Cacnaugh, Kegan, Soto

 

[The G.O.D II]

Disgusting that Mike Lee is there in person for the hearings. The GOP is fukking pathetic

i dont even know if they have the balls to kill it if trump actually loses. or the time

pushing a justice through is one thing, but for the republicans to lose the white house and senate in november, and kill the ACA in december? i don't see it

they're gonna kill it if trump wins, obviously, but they won't have the appetite if he loses. and even if they did it by some miracle circumstance the dems would just come in and restore it in february

barrett just had to sit there and take it while kamala called her immoral

we need a kamala smiley

I hope Graham is there positive and asymptomatic spreading COVID to everyone

It's going to go around. I think by next week dudes gonna star catching strays and this shyt gets delayed. No testing protocols and folks willingly playing with fire in the GOP means something has to happen, but fate been fickle this year so who knows.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Pack the courts.

 

[The G.O.D II]

I’m glad Harris finally mentioned a stimulus. I don’t know why the rest Of the dems never mentioned that in there arguments considering it’s a popular bipartisan issue but we are talking about Schumer here
