(4,225 posts)we DO have to make it more representative of the United States. Obviously, with all the decisions they've entered so far that have people screaming, it is NOT representative!
In addition, it is so far out of whack with the number of circuits we have, we absolutely need to have more SCOTUS judges just for fair representation of each circuit. That's not packing the court. That's logical and practical. That was even mentioned by the Commission Biden set up at the beginning of his term. Just because he didn't want to touch the courts (the one thing I really DO ding him on), it doesn't make it null and void. It makes it a mistake and WRONG.
And don't give me the crap about more democrats. We NEVER have enough Democrats, it seems. That's always the answer whenever we bring up anything that needs to be changed. Any one of us who was screaming about the courts and what they were going to do to women and minorities years ago has heard the same damn refrain over and over and over again. We're just not listening to it anymore. I'm sorry if that seems harsh... but I'm a woman; my SS is less because of the fact in the work world I inhabited from the 70's through the early 2000's, women were paid thousands less per year for the exact same work the guy next to me was doing... and I was a hell of a lot better at it. I lived during the time when women did not have the right to a damned credit card in their name. My grandmother fought for the right to vote. If the damned Magat squeaky wheel gets noticed and acted upon, well, we ain't gonna shut up now. We are many. Hell, we might even be Legion, and the world can't do without us. Just try it.
