It will be interesting to see how that plays out on November 6th.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostSo, now the talk appears to be that a newly elected Democrat POTUS will nominate additional - more than the 9 - Justices, as in maybe 2.
A SCOTUS comprised of 11 justices is not unconstitutional, as the number of justices is not spelled out. We've had more than 9 and we've had less than 9.
Oh... and apparently McConnell was explicitly asked if he would defer any SCOTUS nominee named in 2020 until after the fall election, and he has (surprise surprise) declined to do so.

More generally - Ford has been receiving death threats since she came forward. Somehow, I don't think those are coming from liberals or Democrats.Last edited by carpedm9587; 10-07-2018, 03:28 PM.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
