Upsetting the balance of power screams the Reich Wing Zombies when Dems talk about changing SCOTUS. A little history reminder on the 22nd amendment. When the Reich Wing couldn't defeat Roosevelt they came up with the 22nd Amendment.

snip:
The blog post mentioned comments made by Republican presidential candidate Thomas Dewey in late October 1944 about a proposed presidential term limits amendment. President Roosevelt defeated Dewey for Roosevelts fourth term in office in November 1944 but died shortly after his inauguration in 1945. Congress did not approve the 22nd Amendments language until 1947, and the states did not ratify the amendment until 1951.
AOC rightly commented on this.
Again, with feeling, fuck you Republicans.

(5,442 posts)J. Edgar himself wrote it. He warned about communists infiltrating government agencies, even at the most local level like the PTA, and changing the rules to suit their agenda. It was the identical playbook.

(38,958 posts)They cannot win unless they cheat and part of the cheating is ignoring or changing the rules as they go.
