Democrats drag out Michael Moore to expand SCOTUS

&NewLine;<p>If you think that the Democrats have abandoned – or at least forgotten – their plan to expand the Supreme Court&comma; you are wrong&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Democrats are proposing four new justices appointed at the same time by the same Democrat President … Biden&period;  They are fundraising on the promise to expand the United States Supreme Court&period;  No proposed change in the Court has been so audacious – and so politically motivated – since Democrat President Franklin Roosevelt tried to do the same thing in the 1930s&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>When they cannot win according to the rules&comma; those on the left like to change the rules&period;&nbsp&semi; They operate under the assumption that they must always win&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>In promoting packing the Court&comma; Democrats have resurrected their crankiest radical leftwinger as their salesman – propaganda movie producer Michael Moore&period;&nbsp&semi; &lpar;Hmm&quest;&quest;&nbsp&semi; Are you still a movie producer if you are no longer producing any movies&quest;&nbsp&semi; Just asking&period;&rpar;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Moore accuses Republican presidents of appointing justices who make decisions with which the American public does not agree&period;&nbsp&semi; It does not matter that every justice on the Supreme Court has been both nominated by the duly elected President of the United States and confirmed by senators elected by&nbsp&semi; the people&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>In the past&comma; it took two-thirds of the Senate to approve justice&period;&nbsp&semi; But true to form&comma; many of the Democrats more radical nominations could not achieve confirmation&period;&nbsp&semi; So&comma; Democrats did what they do&period;&nbsp&semi; They changed the rules to a simple majority for all federal judges&comma; except the Supreme Court&period;&nbsp&semi; Having broken precedent&comma; Republican Mitch McConnell extended the simple majority rule to cover Supreme Court justices&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The result of all that was the emergence of a conservative majority on the high Court for the first time since President Hoover&period;  That’s right&period;  The left has controlled the Supreme Court for almost 100 years&period;  And the only time they squealed about the philosophic bent of the Court was when  those on the left supported FDR’s attempt to add more progressive justices&period;<a> <&sol;a><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>For all the years since Roosevelt’s failed attempt&comma; there was no serious discussion about expanding the Court – not even by the underrepresented conservatives&period;&nbsp&semi; No sooner did the Court attain a conservative majority than did those on the left started screaming to expand the court&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>They had their chance to add justices in the two years that Biden and Democrats controlled both houses&period;&nbsp&semi; But the idea was not well received even by some Democrats – as was the case with FDR’s scheme&period;&nbsp&semi; The only difference was that Roosevelt tried and failed&period;&nbsp&semi; Biden – seeing the writing on the wall – dropped the idea&period;&nbsp&semi; Or so we thought&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>It appears&comma; however&comma; that the idea is not dead&period;&nbsp&semi; If you send money to the National Democratic Training Committee&comma; they promise to fight to have the court expanded – and they have Moore as their fundraising poster child&period;&nbsp&semi; The fundraising email calls for the passage of the Liberty Act&comma; that would give Biden the opportunity to nominate four additional justices&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>In an example of monumental irony and hypocrisy in the fundraising email claim&comma; they say that &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Republicans will do ANYTHING to ensure they OWN the Supreme&nbsp&semi;Court&period;”&nbsp&semi; Methinks that the sentence would be more accurate if the first word was &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Democrats&period;”&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi; &nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The Democrats make no effort to conceal their motivation behind flowery language like &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;for the good of the people” or &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;to make the Court more efficient&period;”&nbsp&semi; No&period; No&period; No&period;&nbsp&semi; Their fundraiser says&comma; &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Expanding the Supreme Court would be a HUGE win for Democrats&period;”&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>They admit that they are not looking to appoint the best and the brightest&comma; but rather justices predisposed to their leftwing agenda&period;&nbsp&semi; The fundraising email assures recipients &lpar;Boldface added&rpar;&comma; &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;If Democrats pass the Judiciary Act&comma; President Biden can appoint 4 NEW <strong>liberal <&sol;strong>Supreme Court&nbsp&semi;justices&period;”<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>According to the solicitation&comma; &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;… Michael Moore just declared an UNDENIABLE call to&nbsp&semi;action&excl;”&nbsp&semi;The action they claim the propose is the passage of the Liberty Act&period;&nbsp&semi; But the only action they call for in the email is … a donation&period;&nbsp&semi; Not even a request to contact members of Congress&period;&nbsp&semi; Perhaps that is because they know the so-called Liberty Act is dead … dead … dead in Congress&period;&nbsp&semi; They are not only beating a dead horse&comma; but they are also trying to sell it&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi; That is fraudulent&period;&nbsp&semi; And using the name and image of Michael Moore to sell it is … well … laughable&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>So&comma; there &OpenCurlyQuote;tis&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
