Senate Dems deliver stunning warning to Supreme Court: ‘Heal’ or face restructuring
Several high-profile Senate Democrats warned the Supreme Court in pointed terms this week that it could face a fundamental restructuring if justices do not take steps to "heal" the court in the near future.
The ominous and unusual warning was delivered as part of a brief filed Monday in a case related to a New York City gun law. Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, Richard Durbin, D-Ill., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., referenced rulings by the court's conservative majority in claiming it is suffering from some sort of affliction which must be remedied.
"The Supreme Court is not well. And the people know it," the brief said. "Perhaps the Court can heal itself before the public demands it be 'restructured in order to reduce the influence of politics.'"

Naked power grabs are usually a little less obvious. Even Roosevelt wasn't this crass.

I can understand the sentiment and the lawmakers' frustration, especially after the whole Merrick Garland fiasco which IMHO should have been made a much bigger deal in the 2016 election cycle. However, ghosts of FDR aside, insulting the court or calling into question its impartiality has never been a really effective tool of appellate advocacy and the lawmakers should have left that out.

You’re right. The Republicans have gotten pretty bold about it. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Thom must enjoy in a bdsm type way his status as a hated zoner. But like most of his ilk, it's all about sticking it to the libtards by any means necessary.

Thom I actually somewhat agree that the approach is a little off balance
I also feel that the court is off-balance as well
But I do feel that it is driven by republican abuse of the nomination and approval process for the Supreme Court
And desire to take people’s freedoms away from them (regardless of what you feel about the NRA gun control And the right to bear arms) which is completely out of control in this country which is in theory civilized
I have a right to control your body and if we didn’t have rapes, none of us would be here Jesus fucking Christ

Fuck 'em in the ear.

Seriously...after all the Mitch McConnell shit, blocking anything obama,
And putting forward a generation of sub par, shitty judges (not just because they are heavily gop) I say we change it on them and make em irrelevant.
Its precisely how dems are being treated now.
Can you imagine if President Warren spent her days trolling 65% of the public?
No one can.
Pack the court when we take back the presidency and the senate.
