Let's see a discussion on whether court packing is a meaningful comparison of the GOP doing everything in their power to fill court seats, even if it makes them hypocrites, to the democrats adding additional seats.Vs
A term that had been traditionally used by conservatives as a means to deprive certain citizens of their basic human rights.
Yeah clearly case of apples to apples here.
No wonder I turned away from conservatism and the Republican party in the US.
Either words matter or they do not. You can't have it both ways. I don't care what you choose, but it's time to make a choice 👆

At the end of the day they can't have it both ways. They can't have it mean adding new seats and then all of a sudden it means just playing politics to fill vacant seats, etc. That in itself is a weasel tactic so it makes them crying about Mitch being a weasel seem hypocritical too.Especially not after they just threw a hissy fit over ACB using the "wrong" words. Either words matter or they do not. IMO they need to decide.
That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m just talking purely semantics it’s a strange word to use to describe making the court bigger.
Originally posted by RobtardYeah this is like I said a distraction arguement.
It's all he has now that his points have been sodomized by facts.
It's designed as a way to ignore the spirit of the conversation so people don't have to admit to a truth they don't like.
It's similar to the Obama built the cages comment. Trump was the one that abused them and caused the problems and now he is trying to distract from that.

TBF, I don't expect them to use another tactic at this point.
Originally posted by SurturHonestly because the same people who say choose another word will just find another distraction argument to take it's place because the people that use don't really care about the argument itself it's just there to keep the conversation from moving to a fact the person using the distraction argument doesn't like.
Lol so if it's a distraction argument why not just negate it by choosing another damn word? When will you guys learn.And I love you noting the hypocrisy with the cages, good stuff.

Lol so I can assume yeah this happened a long time ago. It'd be sad if you were reaching back to the civil war era. Did you?
So to fix your ignorance you went back a few pages and found when I noted the timeline. Glad I could help you learn something today, Surt.
As noted, you don't get to decide when precedent expires. Also of note, courts routinely site very old rulings in modern proceedings.
