This is all show, like MOR wrote Sinema and Manchin won't vote for it. I doubt Kelly will either since his seat is up for grabs.

I MIGHT be able to be convinced if they voted to phase in four additional justices....one every four years starting in 2025.

Of course, that wouldn't get the Democrats pushing for this what they want, so no one is interested in that.

I think a ten year term limit would be a better solution phasing in as this current group retires. It’s clear the shelf life on some expires just reading opinions. Thomas should have been pushed out long ago.

Biden's thinking has evolved over the last 40 years.

Speaking of no charges filed against the Capital officer who murdered an unarmed woman. Coroner ruled it a homicide.

The coroner ruled it a homicide? Why would the coroner be making that sort of determination? And how could anyone think charges SHOULD be filed in that case?!?

Why not? She was unarmed, not under arrest and was let it by the police.

She was let into the Congressional Chamber that she was trying to break into by police? Seems about as reasonable a police shooting as you're ever going to find. Guy should probably get a commendation.

The officer was in no immediate danger and had no reason to discharge his weapon.

Should officers shoot any BLM member that breaks into a Federal building without charge? Who about the Union members who took over the WI Capital? Should security fire without cause into the crowd?

Not sure how I feel about her case personally but the double standard of Justice in obvious.
