Should Trump Nominate 6 More Justices This Fall?

Assoc. Press Calls Court-Packing 'Depoliticizing'

One way that President Trump could play another 'trump card' is to announce on November 4th (day after election), that he will 'depoliticize the US Supreme Court by adding 6 more justices.
The constitution is silent on the makeup of the court members. We didn't always have 9 justices.
Even after the Nov. 3rd election, the senate could confirm all 6 of them before Christmas. That way even if the New Senate gets taken over by Democrats, these justices are sworn in. It would require 68 senators to remove them in impeachment.
The beauty of it lies in the hypocrisy of the Democrats who already say that more justices equals less politics in the SCOTUS. We know that's not true when we look at the 535 member congress!
Let's wait to see who parrots the 'depoliticizing' narrative which the Associated Press talking points provide. If they go 'all in', then we've effectively trapped them in their own words.

"No politician 'checks off every box" in your list of issues. You have to prioritize and use personal discretion regarding every current and future issue that you can imagine. Then you have to also judge integrity & consistency. A candidate's openness to study the issues & courage to think for themselves. Then you need to review their honesty & work ethic. I respect any voter's decision, when they've informed themselves and took voting seriously." - David Van Risseghem

SoonerPolitics.org is committed to informing & mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform & restored liberty. We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content. David Van Risseghem is the founder of this platform.
Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.
