The Supreme Court is illegitimate.
That became reality when 50 years of settled law was overturned by the extremists who wanted to do away with ROE V WADE.
If we do not respect precedent, we are not a nation of laws.
Various
members of the Court insisted to the US Senate in their confirmation
hearings that they respected precedent, that settled law was settled
law.
We now know this was either a lie or some great doofus has visited the Justices and converted their beliefs.
Regardless, it's time to, yes, pack the Court.
We've
never supported it before. We even thought it was an over-reach when
FDR tried it. But this is different and it goes beyond one case.
They
have made clear, the illegitimate extremists, that they do not respect
settled law and that they want to overturn various laws and make America
something other than what the citizens want.
Their
disrespect for precedent demands that the Court be immediately expanded
and that justices be nominated who will stand by stare decisis.
This
is what our entire system is built upon. Clearly, Clarence Thomas
doesn't grasp that. He also wants to overturn marriage equality and
various reproductive rights. He made that clear in his concurring
opinion in DOBBS. If he's not going to be impeached for that (he should
be), the least extreme measure is to provide new members on the court
who will uphold the law.
It's time to pack the Court. Either that or you have to impeach the people who lied to the Court during their nominations.
