In reply to the discussion: Elizabeth Warren calls for expansion of Supreme Court, saying current court is a threat to democracy [View all]Mike Nelson
(9,953 posts)28. Well...
... I would support this, but see little chance of it happening. These things take so much time, we don't know what President will be nominating the Judges! Still, Warren knows there is a problem. We need to look at additional solutions. Why is it okay to lie under oath and get a seat on the SC? Right now, it's up to Senators... they can vote in anyone. Something more needs to be done... more ways to look at qualifications, and easier ways to impeach Judges.
