Would that be “packing” like refusing to hold confirmation hearings on a legitimate Supreme Court nominee from the Democrats 8 months before an election OR would that be “packing” like approving a Republican Supreme Court nominee 2 weeks before an election.
Biggest proof that the GOP is Party Over Country . . . ALWAYS.
I thought Mr. Bok’s strip today set a new standard of duplicity and idiocy for alt-right cartoonists but we have a strong contender for that title with this one.
In the beginning there were 6 justices, when our population was a fraction of what it is now. Raise the number to reflect the increase in population. Please make some of them atheist.
Apparently Goodwyn believes that the current administration needs to build its own solution after the damage that the previous administration did to the judicial branch…
The Trump (so-called) administration tried to make the Judicial and the Legislative branches subservient to the Executive, but, then again, they worried about the Law OR what the Constitution said…
Ol Al seldom has anything interesting or useful to say. But I do kind of like his art… some… and I do kind of like seeing how much in lock step the various rong-wing extremists are.
You Dumocrats are all idiots. Pay attention to what Obiden used to say, back when we respected you. Obiden & Kameltoe don’t care about you. It’s about their power. Why are you ok with socialism. I ended that with a period because you have no appropriate response.

Don’t get your panties in a twist, BADwyn!! Your three Christian Talibanistas on the SCOTUS are safe — for now!!

You know that you can pack the court without increasing the number of justices, as the Republican Senate demonstrated.

I guess the last 5 years didn’t happen in Al’s universe.

Goodwyn: Like Gerrymandering, court-packing is legal. Got a problem with that?

we need a better way to choose judges.
our original government, the articles of confederation, had a random element in choosing, which looks better to me.

I am 100% for enlarging the Supreme Court.

As opposed to what the former guy and his complicit Republican Senators did.
Each party picks people who lean their way, but there used to be a tendency to pick competent and broadly reasonable human beings to be justices.

The hypocrisy of this cartoon should embarrass even Goodwyn.

Yes, the Republicans have been packing the courts with unqualified and immoral partisan judges for far too many decades.
