Supreme Court ....
Do you remember when Republicans BLOCKED Obama’s very solid pick Merritt Garland.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnells BS excuse was it was too close to the election.
Total BS and no such law supported that refusal.

True, but it didn't change the number of justices, just who they were. Your example is poor at best because it doesn't answer the question that was asked, it just points to something totally different, as though that was somehow relevant.

FYI .....the Supreme Court is not limited to 9 members and the number has varied through our history .

A little history lesson for you. For over 150 YEARS the number of seats on the supreme court has stood at 9 seats. Originally the number was 6 back in the 1700's but as the Country grew more seats were added until we reached the present number in 1869. In 1937 Roosevelt tried to pack the court so he could get his New Deal (Hmmm.... where have I heard that phrase before?) laws passed but was ultimately defeated in his plan. While you are correct that the number of seats has varied it has NEVER been more than 9 seats total. (In fact, Biden himself, back in 1983, called the idea of packing the court a "boneheaded idea" A "terrible, terrible" plan).

Really? Your source please. What is your proof that he tried to force leaders to cheat? Be specific. He is, however, on tape and video telling his supporters, during the Capitol protest, to be peaceful, so where is your proof that he allowed an attack on our Capital? https://thehill.com/homenews/adminis...-storm-capitol

May he spend the rest of his lying cheating life in our Super Max Prison.

LOL To that remark I can only point to Pipe Dream's comment.

Let me point out that the Dems are in total control of 90% of the media, Social media, the presidency, both houses of Congress and now they want to pack the Supreme Court with yes-men (or women) members that will rubber stamp and pass anything they (the far left Democrats) want. We are closer to a dictatorship now than at any time ever before in the history of our Country. And parrots that just keep repeating the same old Dem talking points without really knowing or understanding how dangerous a time we are living in should shut up.
