Too bad they didn’t do it sooner and get this through before Biden takes over.
Why? That makes no sense, what does biden have to do with the court system
you mean other than increasing the size of the Court so he can sit a dozen new left-leaning Justices? Naw... he has nothing to do with the Court System.
He can't do that but ok
If he is sworn in...tell me again why he can't do that?
Since all the "news" seems to be about packing the Court lately.
Hmm if all bets are off than maybe it isn’t a whackadoodle conspiracy theory after all. Besides it’s the Dems stating they will do it and if they end up with majority’s in the Senate and Biden they most certainly can do it. I don’t see to many Dem politicians bucking their party line.Keep pushing the whackadoodle conspiracy theories and the Dems will get the senate too.
And then all bets are off.
Well maybe you need a 9th grade US government, class.
See we have what is known as a 3 branch system of government.. what that means is that the governments power is separated into 3 groups, this creates a system of checks and balances.
So at the very best all biden would be able to do is make nominations.
Then this other little thing called Congress would have to get together and confirm the appointments to the bench or not confirm.
So because I'm sure that quick lesson may be a lot for you to understand the TL;DR is Biden cant just walk in and say here are 10 new justices on the SCOTUS
Are you done being an obnoxious asshole, mr high-n-mighty? If not, wake me when you decide to stop being condescending and superior.
so the current way to fill a SC vacancy is, the Prez nominates and the Senate confirms.
What part of that is 3?
Congress = both the House and the Senate. don't recall Pelosi having a say on ACB's appointment. did I miss something? Did all their bluster amount to nothing and they voted to accept her just like the Senate did?
I will amend my previous statement... If Biden is sworn in and the Dems take the Senate.
There, does that unbunch your panties?
TL;DR for the emotionally immature: It only takes two branches of .gov - and you could try being a bit nicer when you respond, even IF you are a Biden supporter.
THREE branches of government
So you're saying all three branches of government a required to seat a Supreme Court nominee.
so why didn't Pelosi block ACB?
Is that what I said,
Oh and yea I really think you should check out
Yup
So, in the midst of all your snark, you totally overlooked the fact that you said there are 3 branches of government as a response to my query as to why Biden could not pack the Court.
I can understand, I didn't mention at the time about the Dems possibly taking the Senate also. But you just kept on going with your assholery. Your desire to inject yet more snark was more important than actually reading someone else's post.
but, hey....thanks for playing. Kind of reinforces why I'm not surprised that there are a lot of people in America who support a travesty hell bent on eliminating Rights, driving the economy under, and selling our Country out to foreign dictators.
Feel better?
I mean I'm not the soy boi here who had their feelings hurt because they were wrong about something..
So I guess the real question would be do YOU need a hug?
HAHAHAHahahahahaha
Whatever you tell yourself at night.
You were the one to imply that all 3 branches were needed.
But your responses are what I would expect from a Liberal. When shown that they are wrong go on the "offensive" and start insulting people. You're still doing it.
I apologize to everyone else that came in here hoping to read actual information. I did not expect my innocent question to be the source of a childish tantrum by Mr Edwardteach. I guess it is true that the Liberals do not respect others.
I ask that the moderators delete my comments as well as those of Edwardteach so as to unclutter this thread.
