Democrats demand SCOTUS to "heal or be restructured"
Perhaps Justice Roberts should call a special session to have the Democrats explain this threat.

You know, I have truly come to loath and despise these far-left political extremists and, frankly, I don’t know how this isn’t considered coercion and extortion other then thanks to the cover provided by a friendly media\propaganda machine.

People who only complain that the game isn't fair when they lose, shouldn't be allowed to play.

Just like the whining about the electoral college.

When RBG even says it's a stupid idea you know you are barking at the moon.

A lot of people think that China is the biggest threat to America. They're wrong, it's the crazy left that is the biggest threat by far.

At the risk of stating the obvious:

Separation of powers as laid out by our forefathers was one of their many wise bequests to us.

They wouldn't hold this view were the court set in their favor.

These hypocritical fools never met a double-standard they wouldn't embrace.

It is a threat, plain & simple.

Eventually they will have pushed too far...

It is becoming more and more clear the Democrats want everything changed to follow their doctrine. If things don't change, they will be forced to change.

If that isn't the seeds of tyranny, I am not sure what is.

Haha. The GOP has screamed when the court is too liberal and needs healing.

One thing I personally DO agree with is a term-limit for SCOTUS Justices. When life spans were 50-60, a lifetime appointment of a 45 YO Justice made sense. When a 50 YO justice gets on the bench, likely looking at a 25-year term, minimum. I'd support a hard term limit of 20 years, maybe even 15.

I don't remember anyone from the GOP sending them letters threatening them.

The left is simply scared. They've had the wind behind them for so long that the slightest headwind leaves them enervated and gasping for air. Their instinct then is to scream "not fair!" and want to change the rules.

Not a chance, commie filth.

I think the house cleaning will need to be done by voters. There should be defeat dealt to all democrats for the next 50 years. Send these America haters back to the stone age of history. We are obligated. 50 years and maybe as many as 100.

Y'know, there's a difference between making this threat as a Senator in the minority and as a sitting President with the ability to gather a majority vote in the Senate. In other words, Blumenthal, Whitehouse, Gillibrand, Hirono and Durbin are not, collectively, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Nor, incidentally, is this the 1930s.

Hmmmm, consider....

Blumenthal - IQ = 70
Whitehouse - IQ = 65
Gillibrand - IQ = 60
Hirono - IQ = Did not register
Durbin - IQ = 80

Yet again, the dumbest among us are the loudest. We need to beat back this trend, hard.

Dennis Prager has been saying this for YEARS!!! And he is VERY careful to point out the difference between Liberals and Leftists. Alan Dershowitz is a Liberal...a smart one at that. AOC, et. al., is a LEFTIST.

It should be noted that scared dogs can be dangerous and should be watched VERY closely.

The democrats keep showing us they're fascists. They should never be given power again.

I don't think it's ever happened, but obama threatened SCOTUS over obamacare.

Local talk guy today when talking about this story asked "How do you spell tyranny?" Rhetorical question. First caller said it's spelled "D-E-M-O-C-R-A-T"
