I suspect with the Dems controlling the House and Senate, no Repubs in
the federal congress will have the ability to do much about anything.
I'm hoping if it happens, Chuck will say to Mitch, "**** you," as the
Senate begins its one hour of deliberations on President Biden's first
four nominees to the Supreme Court. Oh, and I doubt Biden can be
impeached for acts the Repubs want to claim he engaged in a previous
administration or while he held no federal office.
They still need to change the law that sets the size of the SCOTUS and
that could be filibustered to death. You actually might even find the
Dems don't have the votes for a up down vote. This is a precedent that
could make the SCOTUS become a joke with any majority that is not
happy with the balance just packs in a few more justices.
That was what FDR ran up against when he had a lock on congress. I
don't think it ever even got out of the judiciary committee.
A Dem majority in the Senate could create a new Senate precedent by
invoking the nuclear option that requires approval of only a simple
majority of senators.
A senator could rise to raise a point of order and if the presiding
officer agrees, the ruling on that order creates a new precedent.
The size of the court is not set by the Constitution.
****ing McConnell...it would be worth it.
