GIDDYUP: Democrats Vow To Expand The Supreme Court If McConnell Rams Through SCOTUS Nominee

[634-5789]

For as long as I can remember, the Dems have been the Party of decency, morals, honesty, good judgement. Now, we are forced to get down to their goddamn level and fight dirty for Democracy. Now.

1. "DemocratS"...? More like "Democrat"...

Since they only quote Ed Markey in favor of expanding the Court.

9. He's not the only one.

on Chris Yates show last night, then again on CNN and MSNBC this AM it was brought up.

2. I hate to bring this up but

with making these threats now, what is stopping McConnell and Trump from expanding the court now?

[TreasonousBastard]

4. Time. They would have until Jan 3, and if they did, it could easily be Biden's choices...

and maybe a Democratic Senate.

5. I believe it requires a vote from the house as well as the senate

8. Ask yourself who controls the House of Representatives and you shall have your answer.

3. Why is expanding the Supremes or killing the filibuster bad things?

[Dr. Jack]

7. It's not anymore

There are tons of unwritten rules and "gentlemans agreements" in Washington. McConnell has shit all of those, so now the Dems don't feel bound to them either. If the Republicans aren't going to play be the unwritten rules then the Democrats won't either. Actions have consequences and the harder McConnell pushes the harder the Dems are going to push back.

[Me.]

6. Need A Little Huggin'?

10. Pete's plan should be followed

It’s one of the reasons I supported him in the primaries.
