This is a political statement. You can claim some of the "facts" in it are not proven. You can agree with or disagree with the opinions.But it's still in the realm of normal political discourse. What of it? Plenty of members of Congress express radical opinions (not that I concede that "we need a comprehensive plan to fix this court" is necessarily radical - some fixes are far less radical than "packing" the court). Plenty of members of Congress assert facts not fully proven or perhaps complete lies. |

Bush won the popular and electoral votes in 2004 that is not a matter of dispute. To say otherwise is not to state something unproven it's a lie. |

The quote you posted doesn't mention 2004.I would agree that claiming that 2004 was a stolen election is bad behavior. But by a single member of Congress, not by the President and over 100 members of Congress. And what does 2004 have to do with the Supreme Court? You aren't making any sense. |

Do you even understand what he is talking about? The Supreme Court never got involved in 2004. There was just some random talk about Diebold that went nowhere. |

So what Biden lost the popular vote(in the Democratic primaries) in 1988 and 2008, whould it be accurate to say that Ketanji Brown Jackson was appointed by a president who twice lost the popular vote? |

He posted the content of an Omar tweet where she claimed that five justices were appointed by a president who lost the popular vote. This is literally true. Bush lost the popular vote but he also won the popular vote. She’s not claiming that he didn’t win the popular vote in 2004. |

Biden had not previously been nominated for president, so it’s not the same. The equivalent would be to say that Warren Burger, Harry Blackmun, William Rehnquist and Lewis Powell were appointed by a president who lost the popular vote, as Nixon ostensibly did in 1960.The difference is that Nixon had to eventually win the popular vote to ascend to the presidency, Bush didn’t. It’s a legitimate, but weak, argument to say that Bush wouldn’t have been the president in 2005 but for his “tainted” victory in 2000. |

Which is fine, because but for the 2000 election, Bush wouldn’t likely to have been president in 2005. Arguably, Bush could have won the popular vote in 2000 if the electrical college had been abolished. All she’s making is a rhetorical point about how our democracy is defective. |

Fair is fair. People have been casting doubt on a member of congress who reportedly had an incestuous relationship and illegal marriage with her brother. They cast doubts about a member of congress who illegally funneled campaign money to her husband's business. You cannot take what this douchebag says, seriously. |

It’s a legitimate, but weak, argument to say that Bush wouldn’t have been the president in 2005 but for his “tainted” victory in 2000.Agreed. However, the argument that some sort of change ought to be made to the Court structure so that it better reflects the will of the people is a reasonable one. Court packing would not be such an argument, because future Trumps could do it too. But 18-year terms would be one. |

An argument that I heard was that if Democrats add six justices and make it 9-6, and then Republicans add six justices and make it 12-9, we would be no worse off than we are now, so there’s no real risk. |

Just make one justice's term end every 2 years, starting with the most senior justice and working down to the most junior.But only do that once - every future justice is appointed to an 18 year term, and if they don't make it through 18 years, their replacement is only appointed for the remainder of the term. |

Or is it just that you can't do a retroactive 18 year term? I could live with the 18 year term only being going forward. |

The most senior justice was appointed in 1990. So counting from then to 2022, that’s 32 years. Of those, 14 had a Republican President and 18 had a Democrat, and yet the Republicans have a 6-3 majority.And on top of that, only 6 of those years were under a Republican who won the popular vote. |

If we had a system where justices were on staggered 18 year terms (new justice every 2 years) starting in 2005 and working to 2021 you would have a Supreme Court that was 5-4 in terms of appointees by candidates who ran as a Democrat. George W. Bush would have selected the 2005 and 2007 Justices, Donald Trump would have gotten 2017 and 2019. Barack Obama would have had 2009, 2011, 2013, and 2015. Joe Biden would have picked 2021. That would have been a vastly different Supreme Court. |

What is truly odd is how these discussions only come about when left wing democrats don't get their way. I don't recall these discussions when Robert's invented a new tax to justify obamacare. |

Roberts was not suggesting we do away with things like access to contraception that Justice Thomas suggested in his Dobbs concurrence or was not suggesting we throw out decades of precedent or declare an act of Congress or the Executive Branch unconstituational only because a Justice thinks he/she knows more than those who came before him/her. If the Supreme Court Justices want to legislate, let them run for Congress.Also after Roberts's bizarre concurrence to save the Affordable Care Act, plenty of Republican commentators were calling for his head, calling him a traitor, demanding he be impeached, etc. Although not a Supreme Court case, similar things were said about Republican appointee District Judge John E. Jones III formerly of Middle District of Pennsylvania in Kitzmiller. Jones actually required Secret Service protection because of death threats he received. |

Again, when Roberts voted for obamacare based on a less than sound reason, the Republicans did not engage in court packing and other "reform b the court" rhetoric. That seems to only be the Provence of democrats. |
