    This is an outright threat and nothing less than judicial tampering.

    The left-wingers want complete and total control of everything and if things don't go their way they will make threats to achieve their end goal.

    This is why the left-wingers should never have control of anything.

    Someone needs to tell these jerks to stick it where the sun don't shine. Court packing is the same garbage tried by the LW tyrant FDR. They need to try winning elections. Trump IS healing the SCOTUS. Are they OK with increasing the number of justices starting now?

    The democrats have run roughshod over the judicial system for 50 years, changing the country to their liking by running to the friendliest court they can find. The democrats have no problem fixing the rules so they can win. Case in point their sudden war against the electoral college.

    The Supreme Court has had nine justices since 1869.

    For 150 years nine judges has been fine, and suddenly now the Democrats want to increase the number of judges, to pack the court. The last President to try to pack the court was FDR (also a Democrat), and he failed.

    The Supreme Court isn't meant to be political, and it's a shame the Democrats are trying to politicize it.

    This, from the article, bears repeating: "Conservatives currently outnumber liberals on the Supreme Court 5-4, but the past year featured a multitude of cases where conservatives -- including President Trump's picks Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh -- sided with the liberal bloc."

    Democrats lose the election, and they want to get rid of the Electoral College. They don't get their way 100% with the Supreme Court, and now they want to pack the court.

    Funny how Biden is turning out to be the voice of reason here, opposing court packing.

    Even Ginsburg opposes court packing. From the article: "Liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has also spoken out against court-packing, telling NPR in July, "Nine seems to be a good number.""

    Ginsburg also had good things to say about Trump's two SCOTUS picks.

    Congress is supposed to make the laws which they have been doing an exceptionally poor job of. The executive branch enforces the laws. What they just did is going to have a much larger repercussion than they expected. The GOP senate and the President can now call on the FBI to have each and every one of these congressmen investigated for overreach and abusive tactics. Threating the Supreme Court? Do what we tell you or we will get even. That sounds like extortion. Every one of them has skeletons in their closets. They just opened Pandora's box.

    Conspiracy and obstruction. Imagine if Trump threatened to dilute the power of Congress because they needed to 'heal'.

    This is quite dangerous...this is a threat to the Republic. Essentially the Dems are saying if we get both chambers of Congress, and the Courts do not start ruling how we want, we will attempt to overthrow it.

    Folks, they have already attempted a soft coup of the Executive....this is beyond a threat at this point. We must keep these radicals out of power

    The utterly laughable thing about this is that they're threatening the court in order to "reduce the influence of politics".

    Who do those "progressive" kooks think they're kidding? :lol:

    Interesting. Would love some non partisan details. Very sketchy and concerning to say the least.

    Trump should take them up on their threat and propose "healing" the SCOTUS now.

    It'll be fun watching Dims furiously backtracking on their own foolish proposal...

    Very telling they equate the SCOTUS with politics.

    Perish the thought...

    Nothing to add to the OP story conversation I see, apparently you agree with this power grab.

    This should concern BOTH sides, because if one President packs the court for political benefit, what's to stop the next president (from the opposing party) from doing the same thing?

    How easy is it to change this, anyhow? (Since FDR tried and failed, and we've held at this number for 150 years.)

    Unfortunately for you the brief does in fact exist. A link is inconveniently provided in the article.

    I guess your "progressive" Fake News/GroupThink™ generators decided you didn't need to know about this, so there you are, sitting in the dark, grasping for a circle j**k.

    Color me shocked...:lol:

    This is dangerous. The GOP may now have grounds to have Pelosi removed and sanction all senators and house reps who engaged in threatening the Supreme Court. This is a pretty serious insurrection, may be criminal too.

    republicans cheated to steal the SC, dems will do the same when they regain power by uping the number of judges and seating them with 50 votes

    This is why the right-wingers should never have control of anything.

    They didn't cheat at all - they invoked the Biden Rule.

    Evidently, power-hungry Left-wingers want to choke on this, too. Trump should give them what they're asking for - NOW.

    *Cue the wailing*

    Neither side should ever be in control. SCOTUS is no place for activism.
