They do not want the Supreme Court to base their decision on the constitution but rather on their political or radical preferences for change. As such, they have already declared they will “pack the court”. They are pulling out all the stops to control the outcome of all issues requiring resolution by the courts.
The Democrats want to have it their way and their plan on packing the courts is another ploy to achieve that goal!

FYI, it is an action AGAINST a fascist one party system, wtfu. The only thing radical here is the *new*GOP or should I say the Trump party.
What's happening in congress is from your own demise, it is from not considering anyone not in your party. There's no compromise any longer, it's only my way or the highway. The strong arm on actions from this administration is what is perpetuating this entire scenario.

Stop what? I just acknowledged that. If the Dems sweep they should act just like the Reps....exercise their power to the fullest extent possible.
You want compromise, now? LOL. Tell that to your party and the philosophers behind it. Compromising with folks who don't do compromise is a surefire way to lose. When I hear a Republican or conservative say they will compromise I might consider it, til then....
My solution? Not give an inch...that's what I've learned over the past 12 years.

So in other words same ole, same ole.. Yup that’ll do it for sure...
And just so you know I am one of the people that support finding a compromise that will benefit the country rather than stonewalling in the finest Nixon tradition and getting nothing accomplished...

How About Obama’s appointments at 34% of the federal judges during his two terms? What was he doing??
There were 118 seats open that McConnell would not allow Obama to fill.
Now trump has appointed 218 judges.

You don't understand the concept of "packing the court" do you?

tb, If the Democrats do raise the number of justices on the high court, it will be their answer to the bad faith shown by Lindsey Graham and Moscow Mitch. First they didn't allow Obama the right to select his nominee to the Supreme Court. Graham said that this should be decided by the incoming President. Now he refused to allow the next President to choose the next Justice to the Supreme Court. Paybacks are hell!

Hmm.... That sounds VERY familiar! Oh wait. That's what the Republicans are doing right now.

Exactly, they're very good at accusing people of what they themselves do.
If the Democrats get the chance to pack the court the term “RATPACK” will once again be resurrected!

Thats a Big IF~~ Roosevelt’s 1937 over reach to stack the SCJustices saying they needed help and any over 70 was a problem...What it boiled down to was his New Deal program which had been struck down by unanimous and near-unanimous votes. This frustrated Roosevelt got him thinking about adding justices to the court... When he won the election of 1936 in a landslide, Roosevelt decided to float the plan, now believing he had more control...
It met instant opposition, strong opposition..
Never even voted on in Congress, the Supreme Court justices went public in their opposition to it as well.. And a majority of the public never supported the bill, either...
“Congress and the people viewed FDR’s ill-considered proposal as an undemocratic power grab..” “The chief justice (Charles Evans Hughes) testified before Congress that the Court was up to date in its work, countering Roosevelt’s stated purpose that the “old justices “ needed help with their caseload.”
It was never realistic that this plan would pass, miscalculated reverence for the Court and its independence from an overreaching president, ruled in place of trying to diminish the Justices rulings...
In the Judiciary Act of 1869, Congress had established that the Supreme Court would consist of the chief justice and eight associate justices....Meanwhile the U.S. Constitution does not define the Supreme Court's size... An issue for Congress..
