Democrats want to address the virus and economy’s joblessness using THAT as the main way to hammer Trump & Co….
Not go hard about the upcoming appointment of another conservative judge to the high court….
Once again?
Progressives are told to calm down by Democrats…
Senate Democrats are tamping down talk of expanding the Supreme Court if Republicans fill the seat held by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Progressive activists and some lawmakers have raised the idea since Ginsburg’s death was announced on Friday night, arguing the party needs to be ready to take bold steps if they have the Senate majority and the White House next year while facing a 6-3 conservative court.
The effort would tie together two controversial ideas: nixing the 60-vote legislative filibuster and then passing legislation to add seats to the Supreme Court, which has been set at nine justices since 1869. But several Democratic senators, including senior members of the caucus, are shooting down the idea altogether or warning that debating it now is a distraction from the fight over Ginsburg’s seat….
Right now this is more talk than anything else.
We don’t even up know if the Democrats will Control the Senate yet.
