Judges should only interpret the law according to the Constitution and not be activists. It’s the true check on our system, and it is NOT intended to be used to change the laws.
It’s time to have a Constitutional Convention and enact term limits, freeze SCOTUS judges to nine and secure the electoral college to preserve our Constitutional Republic from the communists who want to destroy it.
Hopefully, Voters Wake Up
I hope all Democrats realize how far their party went left.
I do know some Democrats that will be voting Republican. Mostly due to the recent criminal activity in our streets, that the Democratic politicians are letting prevail. Creeping socialism is also a deterrent for these voters.
I know many Democrats that are hard-working and believe in capitalism. They want civility instead of lawlessness.
The president did what the Constitution requires of him, whereas the changes they want to make are radical in the extreme.
We really need to re-elect the President. Our country hangs in the balance.
What Does This Mean For Americans?
In this moment, the contrast in knowledge, thoughtfulness, expertise, and civility between Justice Barrett and ‘The Squad’ couldn’t be larger or more evident.
It really is amazing to me how the Democratic members of the Senate and the House were not able to accept the fact that ACB is the most qualified candidate for the SCOTUS.

By all accounts, Trump should win in a landslide because everyone knows the polls are way off.
But the Democrats seem to be overly confident, which makes me very suspicious about the whole mail-in voting system they’ve been pushing so hard.
If Joe Biden retreats to the basement every single day of a presidential campaign, hiding in terror from the news of the day, what will he be like as a president? How can anyone take this man seriously with a straight face? #StumblingJoeBiden — James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) October 25, 2020
It is as though they know that it doesn’t matter how many people show up for President Trump and blow Biden‘s numbers away–they could show up after the election with fraudulent ballots and commit mass voter fraud.
If this happens, the Democrats will push us right into a civil war, and Biden definitely won’t be taking office then.
The majority of the American people aren’t just going to stand by and grumble under their breath or in their private little circle of friends and then say, “oh well, there’s always next election.”
Because there won’t be. That’s the point.

If Americans votes are canceled by hundreds of thousands of fraudulent ballots and by destroying ballots from heavily Republican districts, then voters will understand that our votes don’t matter anymore.
They will believe that our elections are rigged and pointless and that whoever the Democrats, Washington establishment, media and Big Tech want as president, then that’s who will be president.

Trump Is Ahead In The Polls
Trump is ahead in the latest Rasmussen national poll released Monday. He will win all of the swing states and be reelected in a landslide in the Electoral College.
Even so, it is important to get out there and vote. It is up to all of us to ensure that the President’s margin of victory is large enough to overcome any amount of voter fraud by the Democrats.

Democrats everywhere came completely unglued on Monday after Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed to the Supreme Court .

The proud conservative fired back by pointing out that Democrats are actually the ones responsible for creating the political environment that led to Barrett being confirmed .
Shapiro explained that Democrats are the ones who started @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Senate , many years ago , so they only have themselves to blame for where they are now .
“ The funniest part about this tweet is that Democrats were first to destroy judicial candidates for mere interpretational disagreement , the first to use the filibuster against judges , and the first to nuke the filibuster against judges…but she thinks the Republicans started it , ” Shapiro wrote to Ocasio-Cortez .
This comes after Democrats spent decades in the Senate doing everything they could to tear down conservative judges .
We all saw @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Court confirmation hearings of Brett Kavanaugh , at which time Democrats pushed unsubstantiated allegations of sexual misconduct against him .
The filibuster was originally meant for legislative purposes when it was implemented in the 1800s , according to the Heritage Foundation .

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany spoke out on Tuesday to say that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has “ lost ” the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania because of comments he made about the oil and fracking industry .
“ Oh , no doubt about it , that moment on the debate stage was Joe Biden ’ s death knell , ” McEnany said while appearing on “ America ’ s Newsroom.

While Biden has a five point lead in Pennsylvania (50-45 percent), this is not outside the margin of error. Trump won this state in the 2016 election by less than one percentage point.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-10-27--McEnany Says ‘Squad’ Would Force President Biden To Pack Supreme Court: ‘You Heard’ AOC And Omar

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany spoke out on Tuesday to say that under a Biden administration , packing the Supreme Court would happen because it ’ s what the far left of the Democratic Party wants .
During an interview with McEnany , Fox News ’ s Sandra Smith noted that “ squad ” members , Democratic Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Ilhan Omar both tweeted “ Expand the court , ” after Judge Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed to the Supreme Court .

McEnany replied , “ Joe Biden has become an empty vessel for the radical left as he ’ s withered away and you heard from his puppeteers last night , AOC and Ilhan Omar , the people who are pulling the strings , calling the shots.

Then she offered her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ give a clear answer on this issue .
“ It ’ s why he said he can ’ t share his stance with us because it would make headlines .

“ Leave it to Joe Biden to try it today , ” McEnany said .
“ You heard from AOC , you heard from Ilhan Omar.
” “ As reporters were screaming questions at him about packing the court , his handlers pushed the press away because he can not answer that question @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against that according to The New York Times poll , ” she added .
McEnany is correct .
A New York Times/Sienna college poll released last week showed a majority opposed adding more judges to the Supreme Court and even 58 percent of likely Democratic voters were against court packing .
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , who has also flirted with court packing , said after Barrett was sworn in Monday that Republicans “ have committed an act of supreme desperation by jamming through a Supreme Court justice.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-10-27--Joe Biden’s Not-So-Secret Plan To Restructure The Supreme Court

This we know for certain : if Joe Biden wins the presidency and the Democrats capture the Senate , the Supreme Court will be restructured .
Candidate Biden has been coy about his plans .
He has repeatedly refused to answer pointed questions about packing the Supreme Court .
Now he has announced that as president he would appoint a commission to make recommendations after the election about how to reform the court system .
Don ’ t be fooled .
All this is temporary political cover to obfuscate his intentions .
Vice President Biden is following FDR ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ might work .
RELATED : What If Trump Wanted To Pack The Court , Adding More Justices ?
President Franklin Roosevelt had complained that the Supreme Court was stuck in “ the horse-and-buggy definition of interstate commerce ” and so wouldn ’ t see to greenlight his New Deal programs .
Nevertheless , throughout the 1936 election , Roosevelt maintained a studied silence about his plans for the Supreme Court .
While often pressed by the media and his political opponents , he consistently refused to answer .
But a year before the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ publicly called court-packing “ a distasteful idea ” — FDR secretly instructed his Attorney General to assemble all possible plans to reshape the ideological balance of the Supreme Court .
They considered a constitutional amendment ( which would take too long ) and jurisdiction stripping ( not comprehensive enough ) before settling on legislatively adding Justices to pack the Supreme Court with Roosevelt appointees .
“ Wait until next year , ” FDR privately told Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau in May 1936 , “ I am really going to be radical.
” Even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ questions about his plans to challenge the Supreme Court .
He was mum about it in his inaugural address , and didn ’ t even tell his party ’ s legislative leaders the final details until it was announced in February 1937 .
The Judicial Procedures Reform Bill FDR proposed would have added up to 50 new federal judges , created “ proctors ” so that the Supreme Court could better administer the lower courts , and allowed the president to appoint one new Justice to the Supreme Court for each one over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ months , up to as many as six additional Justices .
Presented under the guise of judicial reform to help an overworked court system , everyone knew that the real objective was to secure judicial validation of the president ’ s political agenda .
As soon as the plan was apparent , public opinion opposed it .
While 61 % of Americans voted for Roosevelt ’ s reelection and Democrats had strong majorities in both the House and the Senate , numerous Gallop polls at the time indicated that the overwhelming majority of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ FDR was disdainful : “ We gave warning last November that we had only just begun to fight .
Did some people really believe we did not mean it ?
” Like FDR , Vice President Biden criticizes the Supreme Court and consistently refuses to answer questions about what he intends to do about it .
At one point Biden said the American people “ don ’ t deserve ” to know his position on court packing , then later said they have “ a right to know where I stand and they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where I stand before they vote.
” Now he has put it off to his commission reports after the election .
Let ’ s get this straight .
Before being Vice President for eight years , Biden was in the U.S. Senate for 36 years , and was the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee for 16 years .
Does anyone honestly believe that he does not know what he plans to do here ?
Like before , the clues are all around us .
The 2020 Democratic Platform calls for structural court @ @ @ @ @ @ @ appointments on the federal bench that have “ undermined the legitimacy of our courts through an anti-democratic , win-at-all costs campaign ” to fill the judiciary with “ unqualified , partisan judges.
” It proposes the creation of up to 78 new federal judgeships to “ increase transparency and accountability.
” “ Look , the only court packing is going on right now .
It ’ s going on with the Republicans packing the court now , ” Biden said in reference to the appointment and confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s not constitutional what they ’ re doing.
” “ It ’ s not about court packing , ” insists Biden about his own judicial commission .
“ There ’ s a number of other things that our constitutional scholars have debated , and I ’ ve looked to see what recommendations that commission might make .
.
.
.
There ’ s a number of alternatives that go well beyond packing .
” Indeed , Joe Biden has said that he ’ s “ not a fan ” of court packing — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s clearly the leading option .
Perhaps he will take up the proposal of Bernie Sanders — who is against mere court packing — to rotate Justices off the Supreme Court to lower federal courts .
Or a recent idea touted in the Yale Law Journal to elevate all 179 circuit judges to be Supreme Court Justices and then randomly select nine every two weeks to make decisions .
Regardless , the competing options shouldn ’ t cause us to miss the clear objective : to restructure the federal court system in order @ @ @ @ @ @ @ appointments and make sure the Supreme Court does not stand in the way of the Democratic Party ’ s transformative political agenda .
The key difference between FDR ’ s failed plan and Biden ’ s pending plan explains why this time the strategy might well succeed .
Then , congressional leadership of the Democratic Party unanimously opposed FDR ’ s “ judicial reform ” as an executive power grab that threatened the independence of the Supreme Court and thus the whole federal judiciary .
RELATED : Pelosi Flirts With Packing Court And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Courts ’ Judiciary Chairman Hatton Sumners ( D-TX ) blocked the legislation in the House .
Judiciary Chairman Henry Ashurst ( D-AZ ) stopped it the Senate , warning that playing with the Court would allow presidents to “ suppress free speech , free assembly , and invade other constitutional guarantees of citizens.
” Today , congressional leadership of the Democratic Party is actively pushing the idea .
“ This is long overdue court reform as far as I ’ m concerned , ” says Senator Mazie Hirono ( D-HI ) of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not something that a lot of us have not thought about.
” The Democratic Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee has warned that if a Supreme Court nominee is forced through “ Congress will have to act and expanding the Court would be the right place to start.
” As Senator Chuck Schumer ( D-NY ) has said repeatedly : “ If we win the majority , everything is on the table.
” Legislation already has been introduced in the House to allow new presidents ( beginning in 2021 ) to add two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new Supreme Court exceeds nine members ) move the longest-serving Justices to senior status .
So here we are on the cusp of an election , and voters do not know Joe Biden ’ s plan to restructure the Supreme Court .
Yet like Edgar Allen Poe ’ s , it has been in plain view all along .
Candidate Biden just doesn ’ t want to spoil his presidential surprise : “ You ’ ll know my position on Court packing when the election is over.
” Matthew Spalding is the Dean @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Government at Hillsdale College ’ s Washington , D.C campus .

Candidate Biden has been coy about his plans. He has repeatedly refused to answer pointed questions about packing the Supreme Court. Now he has announced that as president he would appoint a commission to make recommendations after the election about how to reform the court system.
Don’t be fooled. All this is temporary political cover to obfuscate his intentions.
Vice President Biden is following FDR’s political playbook, and this time it might work.
RELATED: What If Trump Wanted To Pack The Court, Adding More Justices?
President Franklin Roosevelt had complained that the Supreme Court was stuck in “the horse-and-buggy definition of interstate commerce” and so wouldn’t see to greenlight his New Deal programs.
Nevertheless, throughout the 1936 election, Roosevelt maintained a studied silence about his plans for the Supreme Court. While often pressed by the media and his political opponents, he consistently refused to answer.
But a year before the election — about the same time he publicly called court-packing “a distasteful idea” — FDR secretly instructed his Attorney General to assemble all possible plans to reshape the ideological balance of the Supreme Court.
They considered a constitutional amendment (which would take too long) and jurisdiction stripping (not comprehensive enough) before settling on legislatively adding Justices to pack the Supreme Court with Roosevelt appointees.
“Wait until next year,” FDR privately told Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau in May 1936, “I am really going to be radical.”
Even after the election FDR refused to address direct questions about his plans to challenge the Supreme Court. He was mum about it in his inaugural address, and didn’t even tell his party’s legislative leaders the final details until it was announced in February 1937.
The Judicial Procedures Reform Bill FDR proposed would have added up to 50 new federal judges, created “proctors” so that the Supreme Court could better administer the lower courts, and allowed the president to appoint one new Justice to the Supreme Court for each one over the age of 70 years and six months, up to as many as six additional Justices.
Presented under the guise of judicial reform to help an overworked court system, everyone knew that the real objective was to secure judicial validation of the president’s political agenda.
As soon as the plan was apparent, public opinion opposed it. While 61% of Americans voted for Roosevelt’s reelection and Democrats had strong majorities in both the House and the Senate, numerous Gallop polls at the time indicated that the overwhelming majority of Americans opposed packing the Supreme Court.
FDR was disdainful: “We gave warning last November that we had only just begun to fight. Did some people really believe we did not mean it?”
Like FDR, Vice President Biden criticizes the Supreme Court and consistently refuses to answer questions about what he intends to do about it. At one point Biden said the American people “don’t deserve” to know his position on court packing, then later said they have “a right to know where I stand and they’ll have a right to know where I stand before they vote.” Now he has put it off to his commission reports after the election.
Let’s get this straight. Before being Vice President for eight years, Biden was in the U.S. Senate for 36 years, and was the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee for 16 years. Does anyone honestly believe that he does not know what he plans to do here?
RELATED: AOC Demands Democrats ‘Expand The Court’ After Amy Coney Barrett Confirmed
Like before, the clues are all around us.
The 2020 Democratic Platform calls for structural court reforms to counter the imprint of conservative appointments on the federal bench that have “undermined the legitimacy of our courts through an anti-democratic, win-at-all costs campaign” to fill the judiciary with “unqualified, partisan judges.”
It proposes the creation of up to 78 new federal judgeships to “increase transparency and accountability.”
“Look, the only court packing is going on right now. It’s going on with the Republicans packing the court now,” Biden said in reference to the appointment and confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, claiming “it’s not constitutional what they’re doing.”
“It’s not about court packing,” insists Biden about his own judicial commission. “There’s a number of other things that our constitutional scholars have debated, and I’ve looked to see what recommendations that commission might make. . . . There’s a number of alternatives that go well beyond packing.”
Indeed, Joe Biden has said that he’s “not a fan” of court packing — as had FDR. But it’s clearly the leading option. Perhaps he will take up the proposal of Bernie Sanders — who is against mere court packing — to rotate Justices off the Supreme Court to lower federal courts.
Or a recent idea touted in the Yale Law Journal to elevate all 179 circuit judges to be Supreme Court Justices and then randomly select nine every two weeks to make decisions.
Regardless, the competing options shouldn’t cause us to miss the clear objective: to restructure the federal court system in order to “unpack” it of disagreeable appointments and make sure the Supreme Court does not stand in the way of the Democratic Party’s transformative political agenda.
The key difference between FDR’s failed plan and Biden’s pending plan explains why this time the strategy might well succeed.
Then, congressional leadership of the Democratic Party unanimously opposed FDR’s “judicial reform” as an executive power grab that threatened the independence of the Supreme Court and thus the whole federal judiciary.

Judiciary Chairman Hatton Sumners (D-TX) blocked the legislation in the House. Judiciary Chairman Henry Ashurst (D-AZ) stopped it the Senate, warning that playing with the Court would allow presidents to “suppress free speech, free assembly, and invade other constitutional guarantees of citizens.”
Today, congressional leadership of the Democratic Party is actively pushing the idea. “This is long overdue court reform as far as I’m concerned,” says Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) of the Senate Judiciary Committee. “This is not something that a lot of us have not thought about.”
The Democratic Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee has warned that if a Supreme Court nominee is forced through “Congress will have to act and expanding the Court would be the right place to start.” As Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has said repeatedly: “If we win the majority, everything is on the table.”
Legislation already has been introduced in the House to allow new presidents (beginning in 2021) to add two new Justices and eventually (whenever the new Supreme Court exceeds nine members) move the longest-serving Justices to senior status.
So here we are on the cusp of an election, and voters do not know Joe Biden’s plan to restructure the Supreme Court.
Yet like Edgar Allen Poe’s Purloined Letter, it has been in plain view all along.
Candidate Biden just doesn’t want to spoil his presidential surprise: “You’ll know my position on Court packing when the election is over.”

Ilhan Omar: Progressives Ready To Fill Biden’s Cabinet, Force Him To ‘Act Accordingly’ In Banning Fracking

Rep. Ilhan Omar , in an interview with Axios , said that progressives are waiting to fill Joe Biden ’ s cabinet and will push him to “ act accordingly ” on several policies including banning fracking .
