Hillary received 3,877,868 votes in 2016. From what I see most republicans here are what you would consider “traditional”, trump is not even a republican. I expect this race to be even tighter than the last and there were only 3 states who cast more votes for Hillary than TX in 2016.
Adding seats to the SC. In this case Biden would add three seats so that there would be 12 justices. The reason being that the court is lopsided with 6 conservatives and 3 liberals. It makes total sense.
the court in no way reflects the electorate or the prevailing opinions of the majority of americans.
it is kind of stupid that replacing justices all depends on when they die and what political party holds the white house and the senate.
biden needs to add 4 justices to make it 13. make these republicans pay and pay dearly for the last 16 years.
Agree but I don't see the Dems doing that. They are not cut throat enough. They will just sit back and take it.
of course the dems won't. they are too passive.
and before anybody gives me shit about it. the GOP would have done it if they had thought of it first.
they have packed the courts with the 300+ hard right judges that trump is constantly going on about while denying obama's picks of filibustering them altogether.
i want a reckoning.

The brain is still the most incredible processing engine we know. Working in tech, I find it truly amazing the way that computers are faster, but they just don't connect the dots like humans do. In spite of our intelligence, we sure rely on short-term gratification to the detriment of long-term gratification.

His interview on 60 Minutes with Lesley Stahl is going to be a train wreck. He apparently walked out on it and did not come back for the Pence/Trump walk around portion for the interview. Now he is threatening to post the whole thing before it is aired this weekend.
That's fairly normal in case someone believes the tapes were unfairly edited. But he won't release it anyway. And even if he does, 60 minutes still gets all the old people watching.

This sounds, to an outsider who hasn't thought about judges in his entire life, like changing the rules to monopoly mid-game.
Would you say the same, if there was 6 liberal judges on the court?
Your comment is ironic because in the winter and spring we were debating Medicare for all, and I pointed out it has no chance in America unless the Dems grow some courage and start playing hardball like the republicans do.
The constitution says congress sets the number of justices. It would have taken five words to set a limit and the constitution does not. For all we know the framers foresaw a situation just like this and decided to give this power to congress.
100% Dems will have this constitutional power if they win congress and presidency, as well as the power of adding states such as DC and PR

That’s why we have The Squad.
They should add justices and also DC / PR as states. Let the republicans eat crow for a change.
Wouldn't hurt my feelings at all if Texas seceded from the United States (as long as we could annex Austin).
The swing state polls are too close for my liking, reminding me of 2016.
But early voting is giving me hope. As of Yesterday 31 million cumulative votes were cast, today it increased to 36 million.
At this pace it is possible to have 100 million votes cast before Election Day. Dems are running about +20% so far. Good news.
I think visible momentum towards Biden could draw Republicans out to cast votes, exacerbated by the terror of Democrats being in control of Congress, Senate, and Executive branches. To that effect, I think this can serve either party if they properly exploit the situation, but Trump has shown himself more adept at exploitation, and Republicans more exploitable.

They should not hesitate.
I don't see the irony.
But okey, it can be changed by congress with just one session of voting. Then do it. But then the amount of judges can yoyo depending on who's in charge of congress? No "there need to be two votes held, with an election between them" or something similar, like important matters in Sweden?
