Top Dems Threaten Constitutional Order

Several Democrat Senators have threatened the Supreme Court with court packing if they do not rule in their favor and impose gun control on the nation. Fox News reports:

Several high-profile Senate Democrats warned the Supreme Court in pointed terms this week that it could face a fundamental restructuring if justices do not take steps to “heal” the court in the near future.

The ominous and unusual warning was delivered as part of a brief filed Monday in a case related to a New York City gun law. Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, Richard Durbin, D-Ill., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., referenced rulings by the court’s conservative majority in claiming it is suffering from some sort of affliction which must be remedied.

“The Supreme Court is not well. And the people know it,” the brief said. “Perhaps the Court can heal itself before the public demands it be ‘restructured in order to reduce the influence of politics.'”

The last part was quoting language from a Quinnipiac University poll, in which 51 percent favored such restructuring. In the same poll, 55 percent believed the Supreme Court was “motivated by politics” more than by the law.

This is an egregious overstepping on the part of these Senators, but America and the Courts will stand tall against these Constitutional infringements.

Then you better make sure you drag everyone in your family out to vote. Because the only way the Democrats would be able to do that is if they get control of the Senate.

Just what do those Socialist Democrats mean “fundamental restructuring” and how do they intend to restructure the SCOTUS. They mentioned “The Supreme Court is not well. And the people know it.” Well, I have news for those idiots, they “are not well” and a majority of the American people know it!!

It appears again the Democrats are involved in blackmailing not only Trump, people who vote or support him, and now the Supreme Court. When is this irrational mob going to stop in trying to destroy our country and our rights. It is like the majority of people voted for Trump and now he can’t govern because they go from one thing to the next! Enough is enough! Time for the Supreme Court to knock them on their behinds and causing them to be in contempt of our rights!!!

There out of power again POWER, that is what they want they do not give a dam about anyone including there own voters! They will do what it takes, like, steal anything! They want socialism because they have no solution to fix anything. They know socialism will fail because they do not know how to run a socialist government and if they want to know they would look at a socialist country that is succeeding. If they did they will have an eye opening, but I do not believe they want a successful socialist government they want what follows, ultimate power a dictatorship and they do not have to worry about elections and they do what they want.

The democRATS are threatening to pack the supreme court, what they mean by that is they will pass a law to up the amount of people on the supreme court and if they win in 2020 they will name all leftist so there will be more liberals than conservatives on the court, the liberals will push their agenda instead of ruling on the constitution, people the democRATS are threatening to wipe out the tax cuts that Trump gave to corporations and people, they will raise taxes more than what we were paying, they are for open borders they want illegals in guess who will be paying for them especially if they pass the Medicare for all that they are touting, they want to give them free medical, housing, college plus a lot more, there is nothing free in life you have to work for what you want unless you are a democRAT , so we must vote a straight republican ticket whether you personally like Trump or not because he is the only man standing up for Americans and for this nation to remain a republic and not become a socialist nation, if the democRATS win in 2020 you can kiss our freedoms goodbye

If we beat them to the punch, we can ensure a truly originalist SC for the first time since the 1920’s. Watch how fast they change their tune if we try. We should do it to them before they do it to us. Then tell them, “Hey, thanks for the idea!”

What a marvelous idea. Trump should immediately appoint six more justices to the Supreme Court, bringing the total to 15. With 10 conservative originalists on the court, perhaps we can finally regain some sanity in this country. And it is a bipartisan idea! What could possibly go wrong?

It is incredible the turn the Democratic party has taken. Any vote that does not go their way and any Executive Order they don’t agree with – they take it to court. What the heck do they mean threatening any court. Is it all possible there might be a patriotic one or two who recognizes how dangerous it is to turn over legislating and presidential power to judges?! I just feel like sweeping the whole bunch out and I know for sure we are going to have to impose term limits or we are doing to lose our free and opportunity rich republic!!

Yes, the supreme court does need restructuring and we need to start by getting rid of all obama appointees and RBG. The chief justice himself doesn’t seem to understand that his job is not to make unconstitutional laws constitutional but that it’s to rule on whether a law is constitutional or not. We need people that are capable of upholding and protecting the Constitution of the United States of America that the founding fathers gave us.

I have no doubt that politics does play a part in their decision making on cases that SOTUS hears. But from my experience, not as a lawyer but as a citizen of the U.S., most of the politically motivated judgements that have made were INDEED by Democrats.

The Democrats are so corrupt they don’t even try to operate without threats, they have become extremists. The Supreme Court Justices are bound by Article VI, to interpret the US Constitution as Supreme Law. Many lower courts are already not in good standing. Much of this is due to the Democrats packing the courts with unconstitutional hacks. All judges who have strong political financial connections should be disbarred. If they violate Article VI they should be disbarred.

The last time I attended High School, (1945) there was an established procedure
for changing our constitution. The procedure was understandably difficult in its
requirements for a large majority of each duly elected State’s congressional
representatives to meet and vote to make any changes to the Constitution as written.
Why is it that the currently elected state officials referenced in this article seem
to not know this? Hopefully, their great grand children will teach them.

Amazing how it was OK for the Supreme Court to have a majority of liberal judges even though they made some political decisions which actually violated the constitution…Obamacare was one when they found that it was a tax and only the House has jurisdiction to pass a tax and that didn’t happen. Now we have a more balanced Court and the Democrats don’t like that everything is not going their way. Reminds me of how kids are all awarded trophies instead of those that actually earned the award because we don’t want to offend anyone…remember when you tried out for the team and made it or not based on your ability to play the game. If you didn’t make it, you accepted it and tried harder the next time. Someone needs to remind the Democrats/Liberals that you win some and you lose some and whining does not endear you to anyone! My advice to them would be to grow up and act like adults instead of spoiled little kids.

Democrats are right–the Court is divided into two camps. One side refuses to make law, and bases its rulings on the written laws and the Constitution. The other side has a firm grasp on the America they dream of, and uses its rulings to make that America real.
That rift can’t be “healed”. We have to eradicate Justices that try to make law and advance a political agenda.

Robert

Now it seems that neither side follows the Constitution which says it must go on what the Constitution says, and the Constitution says that all rulings in the Government are suppose to be by what the majority of the population in this USA want, not what a political party wants that is why the Government was referred to by the Founders as a Democratic Republic, which was fine as long as it went along with what some wanted and then seemed to in some peoples minds changed to a Representative Republic , which was not what the founders called the new Government, where every thing was by majority rule. Washington and some of the other founders thought that political parties would be the death of the Democracy.

Slightly incorrect. The job of the Supreme Court is to rule on whether or not actions taken by petitioning groups or individuals are lawful AND Constitutional. Therefore, describing the current Supreme Court as five conservatives and four liberals is already politicizing a branch of government meant to be NON-POLITICAL. Ideally, all mine justices should be COMSTITUTIONALISTS and upholders of the rule of law and should suffer criticism from the other branches of the government only if they failed in that duty.

To be threatened by the Executive Branch OR Congress if the Supreme Court should dare to vote in opposition to one political idiology and/or the mob generated passion that they have generated is inconsionable.

They should be charged with treason. This is the oath that they took when swore in office.
. The oath used today has not changed since 1966 and is prescribed in Title 5, Section 3331 of the United States Code. It reads: “I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” In contrast to the presidential oath, where it’s used only by tradition, the phrase “so help me God” has been part of the official oath of office for non-presidential offices since 1862
