My brother, don't you think this is the sleeping style of someone we know that made his wife packed out of house for about 6months?

A nor mention name oooo.

Don't delude yourself. Where there's a will, and there will always be a will, a way will be found to play full blown politics with the supreme court.

In fact (and do note its an opinion based on my prejudice and distrust of the right), I will not be surprised if the Republicans pack the Supreme Court. For their self righteous antiabortion's sake, they'll claim God told them to.

I think they will talk, they can propose things like age or term limits but I dont think he will pack it.

Packing means he will increase the number to 15 so Democrats have a majority, the next Republican then packs it to 23 and so on until we someday have 99 supreme court judges and it becomes another senate

Biden setting up a supreme court commission to weigh court expansion,term limits and others very nice.

Conservatives crying Merrick Garland and Amy covid Barrett comes to mind
I support that term/age limits as applicable in many countries Judges should not be given life time appointments what is someone above 80 still doing at the Bench?Even in Nigeria you resign at 70.

When Conservatives want to cry like Mitt Romney just did on Twitter remind them that Moscow Mitch blocked 110 Obama nominees to the Bench and made Trump quickly fill over 200 seats with mostly quack Male white men that does not reflect Americas diversity from one federalist society or so
Remind them that the filibuster is not part of the constitution neither is the number of justices that should fill the courts the circuit court was expanded so can the supreme court
The Dems gotta act like the GQP here and fill available seats Biden is already doing just that the senate should confirm and waste no time.Justice Breyer should resign let Biden fill his seat no RBG 2.0 again.Some judges waited till Biden was sworn in before retiring they were appointed during the Bush and Clinton presidency.
Moscow Mitch,Romney and others are already crying at the thought of a commission.
I also read that since the time of Carter or so Dem Presidents have appointed only 4 justices to the supreme court and they win the popular votes while GQP Presidents have appointed over 10.The last 5 GQP justices to the supreme court were appointed by Presidents who did not win the popular votes(majority will) and confirmed by a Senate that does not represent the population of the majority when you compare the states democratic and RepubliQan senators represent.

There is need for a reform truly.

I agree with Speaker Boehner on this

Opposition Peoples Democratic Party on Wednesday, moved to settle the differences between former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose; and Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, within 24 hours.

This was contained in a statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan.

Of late, the leadership of the South-West arm of the PDP has been embroiled in crisis with Fayose and Makinde at the centre of the ruckus.

Makinde, a first term governor, is the only PDP governor in the South-West zone while the other five states in the region are ruled by the governors of the All Progressives Congress.

The leadership tussle between Makinde and Fayose has since generated verbal confrontations.

The PUNCH had earlier reported that Fayose threatened to “work against” Makinde in the 2023 elections if the Oyo governor continues to “disrespect” him.

However, in the statement titled, ‘NWC Moves to Ensure Reconciliation, Smooth South West Zonal Congress’, Ologbondiyan said PDP leadership and the committee led by former Senate President Bukola Saraki will reconcile the two party chieftains.

The statement read, “The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party after an extensive meeting has scaled up processes for reconciliation and as it affects South West Zonal Congress of the party.

“The NWC resolved as follows:

“That beyond the legal conundrum in our party’s formation in the zone, the PDP must win the South West.

“Consequent upon this, the NWC further resolved that a meeting comprising of the National Chairman, the Deputy National Chairman, the National Secretary, the Senator Bukola Saraki-led Reconciliation and Strategic Committee, Governor Seyi Makinde and former Governor Ayo Fayose, be held immediately for urgent resolution of all issues concerning the South West.

“The NWC will meet on the outcome of this reconciliation meeting within the next 24 hours.”

Please stop engaging that mental dwarf. He's not worth it.

Cornpop:
Thank you 45. I hope Biden does not change your policies to kill the economy

This pussy wants election fraud to be the norm so he is banking on idiots to take away common sense that gives election integrity.
