Americans had thought that Democrats were done trying to destroy Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s life, but they appear to have one more trick up their sleeves.
Senator Dianne Feinstein and her cronies have one last, desperate plot to try — they plan to make Kavanaugh irrelevant by packing the Supreme Court.
Liberals claim that the next time they come to power, they won’t wait for a justice to retire or die. They plan to cram as many left-wing judges onto the Supreme Court as possible – so that they can outvote Trump’s appointees.
The Supreme Court has had 9 justices since 1869… but far-left Democrats say there’s nothing in the Constitution saying the court has to stay that size.
So, as soon as the Democratic Party takes control of the White House and the Senate, they plan to grab control of the court, too.
They could appoint up to 6 new liberal justices who will spend their lives smashing the Constitution and forcing their views down the throats of the American people.
Despite all their dirty tricks and phony accusations, Kavanaugh was sworn in as associate justice last night by his former boss, Justice Anthony Kennedy.
Since taking office, President Donald Trump has named Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court.
A conservative court with two – or maybe more – Trump appointees is “leading many on the left to contemplate radical ideas,” wrote David Faris, a political science professor who’s the driving force behind the scheme.
Faris has been all over the media, promoting the idea – which he wrote in his book, It’s Time to Fight Dirty.
He admits that, even though it’s “an idea considered and discarded 80 years ago,” he’s in favor of “court-packing.”
If this were just one professor, it wouldn’t matter, but he’s got the ear of a whole choir of revolutionary left-wingers who are all singing the same tune.
Ian Millhiser – who works for ThinkProgress, a George Soros-funded think tank – took up the idea on Twitter. He quickly deleted the tweet, but the headlines started pouring in:
The Soros-funded Jacobin magazine posted a “defense of court-packing.”
“A new court-packing scheme could save the Supreme Court,” wrote the Los Angeles Times.
“Democrats: Prepare to pack the Supreme Court,” said The New Republic.
The Washington Post even declared: “Democrats must consider court-packing when they regain power. It’s the only way to save democracy.”
Save democracy? By trashing the will of 63 million Americans who voted for Trump two years ago? Give us a break!
The American people despise the liberals’ out-of-touch agenda, so they’ve turned to the Supreme Court to foist their views on the country.
Banning God from schools, abortion, gun control, abolishing the death penalty, forcing workers to pay union dues – the court decides it all.
But with Kennedy gone, the liberals are going to lose a lot more cases. Under those circumstances, Vox.com said, “court-packing starts to look like a reasonable defensive measure.”
Trump’s “two appointments to a nine-member court amount to more than 20% of its strength; two appointments to a 15-member court might not swing the needle by much,” according to the L.A. Times.
The plot is totally crazy… it’s even failed once before. Former President Franklin D. Roosevelt tried and failed to pack the court in 1937.
But the good news is that the Democrats’ insane idea to change the rules could guarantee that Republicans hold onto power a long, long time.
“Literally the safest way (to) guarantee Trump’s re-election is to start announcing that the next Democratic president will pack the court with six new Dem-filled seats,” said Adam White, a law professor at conservative George Mason University. “These professors might as well start MAGA-PAC 2020.”
When Trump wins again in 2020, we can thank liberals for keeping him in power.
