    To my knowledge there has never been a federal judge removed in anyway other than impeachment

    And on 1/5/20, to my knowledge no sitting president had organized a coup to keep power…

    The difference is this would be legal.

    it’s not us that gets to decide whether or not something is legal, it’s up to the “supreme” Court.

    Add 6 justices, that goes to SC and they rule expanding the SC is fine and has happened before.

    Kick out the lower judges, if it goes to the SC, that’s fine. Because we’ve already taken back the majority.

    I know you’re arguing against fixing stuff, but your arguent basically boils down to:

    If we just try to fix part of the problem, it won’t fix everything

    I agree.

    Where we disagree is I want to fix everything, so it’s all fixed.

    And you think we should fix…

    Nothing?

      There’s no difference with a broken court and we can’t fix that with our current Congress.

      I know you’re arguing against fixing stuff,

      What the hell are you on about about? Like actually what. You need to call down with that nonsense. Why are you being so combative? I’m not even the person you were first talking to.

        We dont need congress to expand the SC court…

        Just like Obama didn’t need Congress to approve his last pick, they have to give Congress a chance to vote, but there’s nothing saying they have to.

        So the absence of their decision should have resulted in Obama sitting someone anyways during his last year.

        Why are you being so combative? I’m not even the person you were first talking to.

        Because explaining the same thing over and over gets frustrating…

        Which is why I’m probably going to give up on explaining this in a way you can understand pretty soon.

        If you want ignore that link from Harvard and just keep arguing…

        I view slapfights as a waste of time, but feel free to keep trying. What’s weird is after I block one of them, it’s common to get accounts with almost no activity immediately taking up the arguement, even in day old threads that aren’t getting any other new replies.

        Could it be a giant coincidence?

        Sure but I just don’t think it’s likely.
