Creating the excuses now for the failures in 2018, 2020, and future legislative failures? Everyone gets a trophy!
What's not to like? You act as if the Democrats weren't at fault for the filibuster nuke that Harry Reid tossed or they hadn't planned on the same thing for the SC .So, uhh, how do you feel about the proposal at hand?

You're all just angry it isn't your side that's doing it.
How many trophies did you get for playing a useful idiot?Creating the excuses now for the failures in 2018, 2020, and future legislative failures? Everyone gets a trophy!
No, that's left to Senseamp and other Democrats. But they were certainly looking forward to the change in the filibuster of the SC though, weren't they?Oh, please. This is entirely different. Reid never suggested changing the structure of the federal judiciary or adding a single member.
Good plan, Democrats should adapt it for SCOTUS.

If they have 50 Senate votes, they can.Yep. The next Dem president and congress should just add three or four seats and pack 'em with brand new law grads from Cal.
Why not, FDR already threatened it to get his way with the New Deal until SCOTUS backed down. Why not go ahead and actually do it next go around.
Republicans undermine the judiciary at their peril. Liberal acceptance of legitimacy of the courts is first and foremost in Republican interest as we head into demographic changes where the Republican base relocates to the cemetery. They are going to be the minority party, especially in urban centers of political power. A discredited judiciary supplanted by mob rule is not in their interest.
Except we've been hearing the minority party since Reagan was first elected, it hasn't happened so far. A discredited Judiciary is being supplanted by conservatives even as you type it.Republicans undermine the judiciary at their peril.

As if liberal activist judges haven't been working overtime to delegitimize the system for decades, suddenly now it becomes a problem.

Shh shhh.As if liberal activist judges haven't been working overtime to delegitimize the system for decades, suddenly now it becomes a problem.
Shh shhh.
It’s ok. There really aren’t liberal activists under your bed waiting for you to close an eye.
Try to picture yourself like Superman but dual wielding two AR15s. Nothing can harm you. Do you have that picture in your head?
Ok? Now do you think it’s a good idea for either party to pack the courts with incompetent partisan judges or should we the people demand a competent judiciary that impartially interprets the law protecting all US citizens?
Shh shhh.

Neither. He's of the opinion that it should be stacked with Conservatives and completely devoid of Liberals. Always.
