About that idea that democrats will throw a snit fit and pack SCOTUS with more Justices.

Representatives Collin C. Peterson (D-MN) and Denver Riggleman (R-VA) have introduced an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to permanently set the number of U.S. Supreme Court Justices at nine.
The proposed amendment states: “The Supreme Court of the United States shall be composed of nine Justices”.


While this will go nowhere it does indicate that just because the Senate democrat leaders are making revenge threats the rank and file will agree. After the 2008 Obama takeover 62 dems who goose- stepped to his arrogance over the stimulus and ObamaCare were booted out of office.
The number of dems already opposed before Ginsberg’s death( including Biden AND Ginsberg ) is significant and
today West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin added his voice saying  he would not support any party effort to add justices.
Moreover a Post/AP poll today shows 62 per cent of voters also opposed.
So... roughly the same percentage - and one fewer Senator - as oppose appointing a justice before.the innaugiration.

Rasmussen, by the way, released a poll today showing Justice Barrett with a 7 point plurality favoring her appointment to the court.

7.1 million infected
Unemployment at record levels
Senate holding up Covid19 relief but can fast track a SCOTUS pick.
The president is a criminal tax avoiding and evading fraud.

Was he armed?  Resisting?  Did Brad grab their Taser?
Yeah, roughly as armed as Breona Taylor.

He was known to have multiple weapons in the house with him.

Red will go to any length to defend the sanctity of the Supreme Court and the president's right to nominate and Senate's right to advise and consent.

That is as long as he approves of the President.

Democracy!

Its fragile and I suspect some may willfully mishandle it.

Remember “The Biden Rule?”

So let’s see.

According to select voices from the looney left Judge Amy Coney Bar­rett and her fam­ily be­long to a Catholic Cult, she and her hus­band are “white col­o­niz­ers” for adopting two chil­dren from Haiti, and her Catholi­cism makes her, in the words of Bill Ma­her, “a fucking nut.”

Really.

But Joe Biden who is also Catholic?

According to his backers “ Joe learned from his Catholic parents and the parish nuns Peo­ple are  made in the im­age of God, which taught and in­spired him a passion for jus­tice.
Nancy Pelosi says Joe Biden’s faith in God gives him the strength to lead.
Michelle Obama called him a pro­foundly de­cent man guided by
his faith.


And let’s not forget the daily news mentions of the rosary beads that are always with him and his weekly trips to Mass.

Ruth Bader Gins­burg, a Jew, had this biblical command hanging on the the wall of her SCOTUS office.
Justice, jus­tice, shall you pur­sue-Deuteronomy 16

The hypocrisy of the democrats and their enablers is embarrassing.

Not a word about the ever-pious Trump's analysis of Biden''s religious beliefs? Shocking!

Red takes a Bill Maher comment out of context and then equates Biden's faith and sense of justice with that of Judge AC Barrett.

Good to know all Catholics are the same.

I assume all Methodists are the same, and ditto for Episcopalians or Baptists

double ditto for Muslims.

triple ditto for Jews.

Red's a Republican racist fascist idiot.

And using his logic so are all Republicans.

Except this equation seems to have been proven.

Ham sandwich...


LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A juror in the Breonna Taylor case contended that the Kentucky attorney general misrepresented the grand jury’s deliberations and failed to offer the panel the option of indicting the two officers who fatally shot the young woman, according to the juror’s lawyer.

The unnamed juror filed a court motion on Monday seeking the release of last week’s transcripts and permission from a judge to speak publicly to set the record straight. Hours later, the office of Attorney General Daniel Cameron granted both requests, saying that the juror is free to speak and that recordings of the session will be made public.
