    Amy Barret and Brett Cavanaugh BOTH stood up in front of congress, and said "Roe is the settled law of the land"

    They are obviously big fat liars.

    Should they be punished? And if so, in what way?

    Personally, I think they should be impeached. And baring that. Pack the court. I wasnt originally a fan of the packing idea, but with the extremism of this current court coming to light, and enforcing an extreme minority opinion upon the masses, there is no other choice.

    and when Trump wins in 2025, the republicans can then pack the court more


    If the democrats did a better job and didn't run crap candidates this wouldn't even be an issue

    So do you think that, the minority should have total and complete control over the majority?

    Neither side should have a packed court. Anyone wanting a packed court is only interesting in pushing their agenda onto others. Just like no party should control congress. We get nowhere good with one party in control...that would be pretty much a dictatorship.

    LOL... The liberal pity part starts with.. again.. violence against those who the want to make scapegoats. I'll let you in on a point of law. At the time, Roe was the law. No argument. And now it isn't. Just like Plessey isn't. And we have restored the rights of the people and the states. Brava, huh... You know who we should impeach? Nancy Pelosi. For refusing to do her duty, and putting SCOTUS judges in harms way in an attempt to intimidate sitting SCOTUS judges. How bout that?

    Except that Trump and Mitch McConnell ALREADY PACKED THE COURTS.

    They STOLE a Supreme Court seat by refusing to allow Merrick Garland to be seated.

    They REFUSED to confirm a single federal appellate judge for 3 YEARS.

    As soon as Trump was president though, they stuffed the courts with very young, often times unqualified judges who will remain in those seats now for the next 30-40 years.

    THE REPUBLICANS ALREADY PACKED THE COURTS.


    So, basically, we would just be balancing out the power that was already stolen.

    That isn't a lie. They said Roe was settled law and it was. They did not promise never to unsettle it. Get over yourself. It is decided. Move on and adapt.

    If the Democrats add 2 or 4 more SCOTUS justices, when the Republicans regain control, they'll add 4 more only to have the Democrats add more when they return to power and so on. Soon the SCOTUS will have 99 or more justices.

    Impeachment is the only legal course according to the Constitution which would go nowhere.

    Are you willing to submit Kamala, Feinstein, et al for their BS charges against Kavanaugh? And if not, how is what they did introducing obvious lies to the judicial committee not the same thing? Or when Joe Biden says he won't attack energy, and then he does, should he go to jail for lying to get elected? Where do you want to start this game?

    Because your statement, while I agree with you, IS NOT REALITY.

    The court has already been packed. To leave it as such would be an insult.

    No, they filled vacancies. Packing the court involves creating new seats on the court.

    Elections have consequences. Wasn't it Obama that said that?

    See above about elections having consequences.

    This gets my nonsense of the week award.

    Somebody promised you a balance?

    I am honestly surprised they haven't been impeached already. I've written employment contracts and disclosure and/or discovery of information listed on application is proven to be false is/are grounds for immediate termination. I don't know why anyone thinks somebody should be above "the law", especially the top law interpreters in the country.

    If we can't rely on our justices, at State-level and everything in between all the way to SCOTUS, what's the point? Just declare it the Wild, wild west again and anything goes.

    Technically they filled empty seats. Sure the Repubs pulled a c**t move when Obama tried to fill a seat but what are we going to do, keep adding seats to try to out do the other side? Where will it end?

    Trump WON'T Win in 2024...
    It would be insane for The GOP to Re-Nominate Him...
    At this point, The Dems ONLY Chance could be hoping that The GOP Runs Trump...

    Na.

    They lied with the intent of forcing their minority religious beliefs upon America.

    Stop trying to twist things up in semantics. You KNOW they lied. You just dont care.

    I think elections have consequences. Vote differently if you don't like how things are working.

    At last we agree on something. All the republicans have to do in 2024 is run someone other than Trump.

    l haven't lied at all. I have just pointed out that elections have consequences. Perhaps you should lobby for a monarchy.

    The REAL Idiots were people like Collins...
    Who took a LIAR Like Kavanaugh at his word...
    Bart would have said anything to get on The Court...
    Sort of like how you treat a Girl that you want to freak...
    Say anything, get what you want, then split...
    Collins was a Naive FOOL...
