Michael Ramirez for April 18, 2021

Reductio ad absurdum, a Ramirez specialty.

Personally, I think only Atheists and Agnostics should be allowed to be on the Supreme Court.

Mitch McConnell already packed the court. With Republicans. McConnell denied Merrick Garland even a hearing and then forced thru Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination right before an election.

—) Or maybe by that time the Supreme Court will involve only one Artificial Intelligence with knowledge of all American government political documents and court decisions, as well as moral philosophies of humanity, both religious and secular.

It will take only a few seconds to make each ruling. No squabbling lawyers necessary. The Supreme Court Building will be made a museum of obsolete law books with flawed legal opinions that the AI has voided, in its infinite wisdom.

The AI will be a quantum computer named Aquarius — after the song, of course. (—

I’d encourage congress to do it just to hear Moscow Mitch scream

Couldn’t it also read that Mitch McConnell, after life prolonging cybernetic surgery, blocked 137 Democratic nominations while free-passing hundreds of Republican nominations. All, as the USA has regressed into his Hand Maiden-sequence, Luddite vision of what America should be.

Could it be that Harry Reid packed the DC court of appeals with lefties to get a pass on obamacare, so this is just tit for tat?

OK, Mr. Ramirez, howsabout unpacking the Supreme Court?

Like reducing the number to five: Sotomayor, Kagan, Breyer, Roberts, and Thomas.

James 2:24

Got a good chuckle at all the liberal comments above. Try as they may to make light of this cartoon, even USA today doesn’t paint lightly, what the Progressive Democrats are trying to do. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/04/15/democrats-introduce-legislation-expand-supreme-court/7233345002/

Lying court packing republican traitors appear to be feeling no guilt.

Their unqualified judges are trying to turn the USA into a Christian Taliban.

Yeah they won’t pack the courts like we did it in the 2010s.

When hyperbole isn’t enough, count on Ramirez to mimic his mentor, “Largest crowd ever on the Washington Mall!”

Having Trump pick three Supreme Court Justices was more packing than anyone else has ever done.

If a current Supreme Court justice retired or died today, McConnell would insist that it is too close to the next presidential election to fill that seat…

We don’t need no stinkin’ Constitution anyway.

Conserves don’t want all their court packing of religious zealots and unqualified judges to be undone.

Funny all the lying comments from the left wing peanut gallery about how President Trump’s SCOTUS picks were unqualified, when a simple search of their records proves the opposite. Of course, in their peanut brains the only thing that makes them unqualified is their pro constitutional conservatism. In actuality, they would prefer unqualified judges who don’t respect the constitution and would make rulings based on their left wing, socialist activism. Exactly the opposite of what the founding fathers envisioned and who should be in those positions.

BTW Mike, love this ‘toon. It is brilliant in concept, hilarious and as always your art is superb. One of your best.

Nancy already said it wasn’t going to happen.

The life time tenure of SC should be looked into.

Mikhail, to get back to the ORIGINAL intent of the Supreme Court, they would have to remove the last three appointments since the Court was ORIGINALLY intended to have SIX justices on it.

Gotta hand it to Rethuglicans, they plan long term. They spent the last 12 years organizing the takeover of the federal courts, a plan that won’t peak until 20 years from now when Trump appointed chief judges will simultaneously sit atop nearly every appeals court in the country. The takeover of the Supreme court was just ruthless opportunism. We’re so screwed. Spineless dems will do nothing.

This is funny, hey, SUPER funny. Oops, by the way, two words for you: Merrick. Garland.

“Thin end of the wedge” arguments are fair in political cartoons, so I’m gonna give this one a pass. And in fact, I’d prefer to attack the issue closer to its root: In the confirmation process. ‘Course I don’t have a clue how to attack it there.

I believe that there are minimum requirements for nominated judges to meet in order to be appointed to the Federal Courts. A review of the appointments of the Republican judges and if the appointee did not meet those minimum requirements then they should be removed as an illegal appointment. Minimums are to give a guideline for experience, education, cases, and any other requirements for the office. That review should start as soon as possible. Starting with Amy Barrett.

The Supreme Court has already been packed by Republikkkans who refused to take up President Obama’s nominee, then rammed through Coney-Island after voting in the 2020 election had already begun (with Justice I-Like-Beer sandwiched in between).

Ever notice Dems are the kid who is losing in the neighborhood game. Cries and says he’s changing the rules of the game, or taking his ball and going home. Can’t win, because he’s a nerd.
