If this happens, I predict civil war or worse. I hope not, but I can see this being the final straw.

Can't possibly be a threat. Someone right on this forum said there was no threat from the federal gov't...only the state.
Even a lot of Democrats know that this is playing with fire. After all, there's a good possibility the Republicans will again control all three elected branches and what then - expand to 19? 23? 35?
The other thing is that SCOTUS doesn't have any actual power to enforce its rulings, only the executive branch can do that.
If SCOTUS is seen as just another political branch of government, then its authority pretty much disappears and it isn't long before its edicts simply get ignored by the states or even the national government (such as the case where President Andrew Jackson stated "Chief justice Marshal has issued his decision. Now let HIM enforce it.")
Watching the press conference now. Nothing but lies and calling you and I racist for supporting the republicans that have packed the court with white men. The court is not balanced because there are no Asian American, Native American or black women on the court.
What is so disheartening is that there are so many people that actually believe the bullshit these racist, fascist and communist are pushing. So sad where this country is going.
Pelosi said "no".
First thing she has said that I agree with (Never end a sentence with a preposition or a proposition)
I don't think this will go any where, for now. Even hiden Biden hasn't gotten warm and fuzzy with it and I believe there are still enough Dems. that know it's not a good idea, maybe even political suicide, for them at this point. NOT that it won't gain traction with time, but for now, I think it's dead in the water.
Biden loves the shotgun approach, just shooting in the air.... He's the next Jimmy Carter "Crow"...
As did former vice president Dick Cheney I believe.Quote:

Pelosi is just buying time for Bidens new "kommission" to appear to have legitimacy and provide political cover for the Dems. In no way is Pelosi against it.Quote:
