GOP looking to weaponize Democrat push to expand Supreme Court

Trump should say: “sure, I agree! I’m nominating 6 to the court right now!”

Here’s the deal: it’s not that they want 15 judges. They want 12 liberal judges. 

Republicans are pointing to Democrats’ effort to expand the number of Supreme Court justices as yet another sign the party is moving further left.

Conservative analysts have called the move “desperate” as several lawmakers prepare to use a constitutional amendment to block the proposal.

Tennessee Congressman Mark Green floated a bill Thursday, which would lock the current number of justices at nine.

Florida Senator Marco Rubio is also expected to introduce a similar legislation sometime next week.

Mark Green on SCOTUS justices.

Republican members of Congress have acknowledged an amendment will likely not go far in the Democrat-led House, but said forcing a vote would help further drive a wedge between progressives and moderate-leaning Democrats.
