M.O.B. Votes:

job and confirming Garland (or at least holding hearings and a vote). SCOTUS should be at worst a 5-4 split right now.

Really what I don't want to see is one side of the aisle have a stronghold on the court for over 50 years (or basically 140 of the last 160 years), as we have currently. Courts should turn over more frequently, and justices would be less partisan if that happened. I'm not saying we should elect SCOTUS (that would create more problems than it would solve), but maybe 12 year terms with a third of the justices rotating off every 4 years

Please explain why this message is being reported.

You didn't state that before - you wanted more justices - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/29 08:37:11

You wanted 4 more justices added if the dems - Bosalphus KC - 1/29 08:34:53

So what you essentially saying is you don't think - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/29 08:18:44

The court should probably go to about 19-27 seats - SparkyStalcup MU - 1/29 08:46:27

why did you lower the initial add to just 2 seats?(nm) - CulturedDan MU

- 1/29 08:50:10

So why did you like the idea of adding 4 Justices not that - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/29 08:49:27

Their duty is to confirm a guy named Garland? (nm) - Bosalphus KC - 1/29 09:23:55

Their duty is to advise and consent. They did neither with - SparkyStalcup MU - 1/29 09:30:09

They didn't have to with him (nm) - Bosalphus KC - 1/29 09:34:48

Should Trump add 4 seats then? (nm) - Bosalphus KC - 1/29 08:48:26

No. Are you for adding 4 this year like you - Bosalphus KC - 1/29 08:16:38
