Packing the Court is a common occurrence among many State Governments,
No it isn't... not as I have defined those words in my prior comment, anyway... You continue to completely avoid the discussion at hand...
and regardless of all the excuses and rationalizations offered,
... at least you are being honest that you don't give a fuck about rationalizing your position... At this point, since you are openly admitting this to be the case, there is nothing more for me to discuss with you. You outright deny logic, as well as the US Constitution and its status as the "law of the land". You are a radical leftist sheep, forever lost to the void of irrationality...
Mitch speed racing a nomination thru just two and half weeks prior to a Presidential election is just wrong,
I understand that your "feelers" are "full of emotion", pumped into you by the mainstream media that spoon feeds it to you. But what you continue to deny is the US Constitution, and the powers that are granted to the President and the Senate regarding SCOTUS seats. The President is not elected to a three year term, dumbass... It is still the President's term...
all part of a game he has been playing with Judges for close to a decade now
Doing the Constitutional duty to "advise and consent" is not "a game"...
And as far as the Constitution, no where in the Constitution is nine Judges established as the number,
Correct.
and as far as precedent and tradition is concerned, Mitch has pretty much ignored such regarding the Judiciary just as he has done the Senate,
No he hasn't. He has been fulfilling his Constitutional duty to "advise and consent".
so forget the "Dems hate the Constitution etc" rant
No. Dems HATE the Constitution. For a few examples:
** They reject the limits on the legislative powers of Congress. (thus rejecting Article I)
** They reject the executive powers of the President if they happen to not like the President, and they reject the Electoral College. They reject the proper method and reasoning for removing a President from office. They reject the enumerated duties of a President, especially the duties of preserving/defending/protecting the US Constitution. (thus rejecting Article II)
** They reject the scope and role of SCOTUS and other inferior courts. They believe that SCOTUS are the sole interpreters of the US Constitution. They believe that SCOTUS are oligarchs. (thus rejecting Article III)
** They reject the Republican form of government that is guaranteed to the States. They reject protecting the States from invasions and domestic violence (especially when relating to immigration, and now Antifa and BLM as well). (thus rejecting Article IV)
** They reject the formal amendment process, and instead regularly misuse the court system as a "work-around" to that. They wish to transform the USA into the USSA (United Socialist States of America). (thus rejecting Article V)
** They reject legislating in pursuance of the US Constitution. (thus rejecting Article VI)
** They reject that the States (collectively) are the owners of the US Constitution. (thus rejecting Article VII)
** They also reject many of the Amendments to the Constitution, and actively fight against people's inherent rights (such as the right to have and express an opinion, freedom of religion, right to keep and bear arms, right to not wear a mask, due process, etc...)
So, as you can see, liberals reject the whole works. It gets in their way. They hate the document. They hate freedom. They hate self-governance. They hate America. Fuck the Satanic liberals!
