Yes.

Me saying 'stacking' was incorrect.

I hope they do expand.

You are assuming that Biden will win.

And - if he does - you can count on the ( R )s doing the same thing next time they have the reins.....

...

That reality is why the number hasn't changed in 150 years.

Why continue support a broken system? Just curious.

Because only half the people think it's broken...

The other half are quite pleased with it.

And the other vile thing this POTUS is doing is swearing her in, not at the Supreme Court, but at the White House, which violates the tradition of upholding the visual of judicial independence .

Yet another reason I am pissed at all the Bernie and Hillary, scorched earthers (most were not, but enough of small factions of each were). If these morons had listened when many, including me, were shouting that SCOTUS matters, not just the candidate, we wouldn't be in this mess.

I will say however, Mitch and Lindsey have no right to bitch after playing dirty if Biden expands the court.

Of course she was 'confirmed'.  That's the word used when the Senate votes in favour of a presidential nominee.

There's no rule that says justices have to be sworn in at the Supreme Court. Plenty of them have been sworn in at the White House and other places.

I understand that you're angry, but try to get things right every now and then.

You can be sure that not only will the new court strike down Obamacare and Roe, but they will rule in Trump's favor in 100% of post-election lawsuits.

The U.S. is screwed.

Welcome to two-party politics.
Both think it's broken. It's a matter of which party takes advantage of the fact that it's broken

Barrett is monumentally unqualified to be on the Court, but The Trump Road Show And Terrorist Guild weren’t concerned about qualifications.
