We need a thirteen justice Supreme Court. [View all] rzemanfl Dec 2023 OP

I second that! mymomwasright Dec 2023 #1

I'd be happy with 15 or more, but we need more Democrats in Congress first. Hermit-The-Prog Dec 2023 #2

I see only two outcomes possible. rzemanfl Dec 2023 #5

Secessionists are traitors TexasDem69 Dec 2023 #58

Read the Declaration of Independence. Trump 2.0 would make King George look rzemanfl Dec 2023 #63

This blue state/red state is largely bullshit TexasDem69 Dec 2023 #65

There are currently a number of reliably blue states, their taxes help support most of the red states. rzemanfl Dec 2023 #67

That doesn't answer the question TexasDem69 Dec 2023 #72

Watch what happens if, heaven forfend, Drumpf's diapered ass gets back in the White House. n/t rzemanfl Dec 2023 #79

And that could be three years away FBaggins Dec 2023 #7

Seven senate seats flipping from blue to red? Fiendish Thingy Dec 2023 #16

I sure hope not. That would mean losing every competitive race FBaggins Dec 2023 #55

Quantity does not make up for lack of quality. Irish_Dem Dec 2023 #3

Sure it can. The Subversive 6 can be neutered by appointing qualified Justices. Hermit-The-Prog Dec 2023 #8

Thank you. n/t rzemanfl Dec 2023 #11

Then it gets expanded again to appoint more MAGAs. Irish_Dem Dec 2023 #18

The rot started in the Republican party. rzemanfl Dec 2023 #28

This would get to the root of the problem, not just temporary bandaids. Irish_Dem Dec 2023 #30

How do you suggest we do that in the face of lifetime appointments? rzemanfl Dec 2023 #32

Let's be honest. The damage caused by Trump and the GOP will take decades to heal. Irish_Dem Dec 2023 #36

We can at least stop the infliction of new wounds by his appointees. n/t rzemanfl Dec 2023 #45

The important thing is to get the root of the problem. Irish_Dem Dec 2023 #49

How do you propose we do that? n/t rzemanfl Dec 2023 #51

Fighting the good fight. Irish_Dem Dec 2023 #57

If it had expanded to 13 under Trump... TwilightZone Dec 2023 #6

This court is in bag for the Orange Asshole. I don't think support would be lacking rzemanfl Dec 2023 #12

If support was there, it would have been passed already. TwilightZone Dec 2023 #14

I blame Mitch McConnell Emile Dec 2023 #9

He gets a lot of the blame. n/t rzemanfl Dec 2023 #24

What are you thinking, one per judicial circuit? jmowreader Dec 2023 #13

Trying that on for size would require an Amendment to the Constitution. rzemanfl Dec 2023 #25

I don't think that one justice for every federal circuit (plus a chief) is unreasonable. misanthrope Dec 2023 #27

The appointments have to be for life under the Constitution. You have Justices being "replaced." rzemanfl Dec 2023 #29

I didn't say anything about anyone being "replaced" misanthrope Dec 2023 #41

Sorry! I thought I was replying to another poster. Silly me. n/t rzemanfl Dec 2023 #43

There's no support for expanding the court either TexasDem69 Dec 2023 #75

If Biden can't/won't do it in 2024-26... Fiendish Thingy Dec 2023 #19

Biden opposes expanding the court. Takket Dec 2023 #22

The Constitution doesn't allow terrn limits- rzemanfl Dec 2023 #31

I know that. I didn't say it did. Takket Dec 2023 #47

Good luck with getting the Constitution amended, then. n/t rzemanfl Dec 2023 #50

Kick red dog 1 Dec 2023 #26

I agree. NNadir Dec 2023 #33

This court is committing suicide IMHO. n/t rzemanfl Dec 2023 #35

Pick another number, though. "13" triggers a lot of people who think it's unlucky or accursed... Hekate Dec 2023 #34

Really? Okay, fifteen, or any odd number after that won't require a new building. rzemanfl Dec 2023 #40

You mean like 13 colonies misanthrope Dec 2023 #46

Your reply made me smile. Thanks for that. rzemanfl Dec 2023 #53

There are 13 federal circuit courts of appeals. There used to be 9, which is when we decided on 9 justices. SunSeeker Dec 2023 #54

I agree, here is what I proposed and I sent it to the White House ... aggiesal Dec 2023 #37

Way to politicize the Court. Lawyers would time their cases to election cycles. n/t rzemanfl Dec 2023 #42

The federal courts are supposed to be neutral TexasDem69 Dec 2023 #73

I don't think I've made it political ... aggiesal Dec 2023 #77

As they say... greatauntoftriplets Dec 2023 #39

Each congressional district? TexasDem69 Dec 2023 #74

federal appellate courts LiberalFighter Dec 2023 #80

Yes we do. The 6 Republican scumbags do not represent our country. SunSeeker Dec 2023 #52

Hell yes! PBateman70 Dec 2023 #56

Term limits would require a constitutional amendment that is not going to happen rzemanfl Dec 2023 #60

Agreed PBateman70 Dec 2023 #66

There is an election next year, and people, women in particular, are really fed up. rzemanfl Dec 2023 #69

Agreed PBateman70 Dec 2023 #71

I'd opt for term limits on justices instead tinrobot Dec 2023 #61

That would require an amendment to the Constitution. n/t rzemanfl Dec 2023 #62

Yes, 13 Justices and an age limit. I would suggest 70. Fla Dem Dec 2023 #68

I am so tired of pointing out the Constitution. Sigh. rzemanfl Dec 2023 #70
