MITCH started this bullshit.
WTF are you blathering about?
The number of justices on the court has been 9 since 1869.
I honestly don't have a clue what you're talking about - so I guess that means we are in agreement - as apparently you don't know what you're talking about either.

Constitutional amendment is not involved.
Hmm, I stand corrected.

Um actually that is what an "amendment" is. It is the literal ability to change the Constitution.
Chimp is right, while not impossible, it is damned hard to do so.

The actual point being made is that you don’t NEED an amendment to change the number of justices on the Supreme Court. The Constitution doesn’t specify how many there should be.
Anomalocaris is perfectly correct. The number of justices is determined by statute, not by amendments.

He started this bullshit by rewriting the rules about appointing judges during an election year thus denying Obama the ability to appoint a judge . This is a clear attempt to stack the court . And whether 1969 or 1856 there is a precedent and the Republicans are clearly games so the left need a counter .

I’m not sure that was ever a ‘rule’. A cynical, hypocritical dick move of epic proportions, but not a rule change.

Quote:If Biden wins the election - should they expand the number of Justices so Biden can appoint new justices more favorable to his agenda?
It has nothing to do with his agenda. It has everything to do with countering the Republican agenda to stack the court with unqualified partisan lunatics.
Quote:Yes? Really want to set that precedence?
It's that or let the Republicans set precedent .
