Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. That's what Mitch has done. I'm confident that the Dems can do it and weather any piss ant backlash from the 35% of cranky aging white conservatives. Demographics are on our side. Georgia and Texas will turn blue. Other states aren't far behind.

Yes and you'll turn blue holding your breath until you get what you want.

Why do liberals equate changing demographics to wanting to destroy the country? It's borderline 'ist.

I am confused. What are you calling BS on, exactly and what does their ability to choose to hear or not hear a case have to do with what I asked?

Why the Dem concern for overturn of Roe v. Wade with ACB confirmation?

What does this remotely have to do with my question?

By him not answering and refusing many times to answer that tells us the answer. That’s just another reason it’s critical to vote for President Trump. We can’t let these radicals take over

If packing is the new thing, we are gonna see major laws get flipped every time the senate and president flip. Its gonna put our system in chaos.

The judges will get more and more radical and the divide will grow.

I still don’t understand what that has to do with what I asked.

At present, the court does not go out of its way to overturn the work of its predecessors, even when that is politically popular for the party appointing a particular justice. A good example of that occurred in this past term.

In 2016, a case regarding a Texas abortion law reaches the court. A majority of the court struck that law down under the guidelines set out in Casey v. Planned Parenthood. Kennedy was in the majority; Roberts was in the minority.

In 2018, almost immediately after Kavanaugh was confirmed, Louisiana passed almost an identical law. When the case reached the Court this year, no more Kennedy. But Roberts switched sides because he sees value in respecting precedent on partisan issues. The ruling respected Casey and Whole Women’s Health even though Roberts disagrees with both.

So what I’m asking you is: if the goal of court packing is to maintain that status quo, rather than to undo prior rulings, does it make a difference?

So you are saying precedent matters....Then why are Dems concerned with her appointment and overturn of RvW and other precedent? You have not answered. Of course we have further "New" rulings to consider.

One thing I have noticed in ur post is the prevalence of Roberts and Kennedy "switching sides", probably the only so called "moderate" and yet appointed by Repubs. It has become increasingly clear the politicalization of the court and the Dems are not gonna pack with mods.

I think I have seen maybe 1-2 cases in which a Dem appointed Justice voted on a case which aligned with Repub. belief. Which brings me to the point. Have you not said yourself at times on this forum that you were Republican leaning?

Did you just try to call me out for not answering the question that you asked to deflect from answering my question? Lol.

The premise and contents of the thread stand for the value of precedent. Of course precedent has value. Otherwise, why would anyone care about laws flip flopping every time the keys of government change hands? (No need to answer that one, it’s rhetorical.)

It's already happened. The GOP blocked Obama's lower court appointees, ran the clock out, and then "packed" those openings with Trump's appointees. They blocked Garland by creating a new rule, stole the seat, and then "packed" the Court with Gorsuch after eliminating the filibuster for SCOTUS appointments. Now, they're not following their own rule so they can again "pack the court" with Barrett.

A wise president once said, "elections have consequences". Perhaps your side can come along if they sit in the back of the bus.

And now I see why Dallas spends countless posts responding to your posts. Frankly, I do not have the patience.
