Stacking the Court


For John, BLUFIs there nobody who can see and talk about long term consequences of short term pleasures.  Nothing to see here; just move along.




From Conservative Journal Review, by Writer G. McConway, 27 October 2020.

Here is the lede plus two:

The confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett has encouraged Democrats to show their true colors.

Republicans used changed rules that Democrats put in place to push through Obama nominations, and now they are furious and acting as though it was Republicans that changed the rules.

Now, House Speaker Pelosi (D-CA) and her band of corrupt Democrats are vowing revenge.

So, if Candidate Biden wins and Congress goes for "Court Packing", what is the natural limit, as, over time, power switches back and forth between parties.  That is, how big can the US Supreme Court grow?  There is no limit in the Constitution.  I would assert that there is no limit.  Once unleashed, it could double in thirty years.

This could change my mind on term limits.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
