There is absolutely nothing stopping them. Period.

I can think of at least 6 turn coats... They just need to buy 4 votes.They need 60 votes in the Senate. I think thats stopping them.
If you think there is going to be another "change of party" then you haven't been paying attention. The Democrats are "The Party," now that they know how to cheat, are in control of the House, the Senate and the Whitehouse, along with all of the alphabet agencies, we are on the precipice of the most slippery and dangerous slope in the history of this nation.Biden has stated he's against it. It's a terrible fucking idea. Every new administration that's a change of party would be pushing to add more justices to create a majority for them.
And what do you think will happen in 2022? A "Red Wave"? You do understand that there will never again be a fair election in this country at any level. What's going to happen in 2022 will be a big, fraudulent "Blue Wave" that will give them supermajority in both the House and Senate. "The Party" is in control now, welcome to 1984.This is some serious shit now. Not that we didn't see this coming. They have until 2022 mid terms to ram through as much as they can and they are doing everything they can.
Their approach is to to do that, but it hasn't happened quite yet. Cross your fingers...And what do you think will happen in 2022? A "Red Wave"?

This is the problem. There is no middle ground. Nobody wants to talk or compromise on anything. I saw that speech that was given when they introduced the bill. They said that the court was actively working against democracy. That the ONLY way to defend our country and our democracy was to add more liberal justices. No mention of a balanced court. No respect for differing opinions and no room for compromise. This is the scariest shit I have seen in a long time. They are selling the narrative that unless you are liberal you are wrong, hateful, evil and whatever phobic you want to throw on there. The dems are going for broke. They are right and everyone else is evil and not worth of consideration and the media is happily playing along.And what do you think will happen in 2022? A "Red Wave"?

And companies large and small are letting their marketing departments run with the same woke bullshit, so then NPCs and other people who don't care start to believe it.This is the problem.

Because every new administration will just add more justices. Hell Biden might do it twice or 3 times until they get what they want.Jesus Christ. What is their big concern with this? It’s not like the conservative leaning court ever throws out any of the asinine legislation they pass. Fuckheads even found Obamacare to be constitutional.
“Yeah, it’s totally within the scope of the constitution for the fed to tax you for choosing to not engage in commerce with those private organizations that have been lining the pockets of congress”
THIS So far Kirsten has said she will not support ending the filibuster. I emailed her last month to thank her. I encourage other Arizonans to do the same. I sincerely hope she stays strong.Nancy just said she will not bring bill up for vote. As long as Manchin and Seminia are holding strong on the fillabuster, then she knows it goes nowhere.
That's the real issue, and age limits. Can't take office after 65.The only thing that I liked at all about that press conference was that one of the dem senators wanted to include wit hthe bill term limits of (i don't remember the exact number) 30 years on the supreme court and 20 years in congress. We need term limits badly.
I do t think there should be any room for compromise in SCOTUS... either they protect and defend the constitution or they do not....This is the problem. There is no middle ground.

You mean their price just hasn't been met yet. There's still time.THIS So far Kirsten has said she will not support ending the filibuster. I emailed her last month to thank her. I encourage other Arizonans to do the same. I sincerely hope she stays strong.
Compromise is why we are where we are. The Republicans never drove anything back to the Right, they only kept it from slipping further Left and the Democrats kept pulling, pushing and prodding toward the Left.Nobody wants to talk or compromise on anything.

When was the last time Republicans completely UNDID something the Democrats managed to get done? You might say the Assault Weapons Ban, but that wasn't an "undo" that was an expiration.
We keep compromising and they keep chipping away at our Rights and you are correct in this: they've successfully driven the country to the precipice and now anything that prevents the country from falling over that edge they decry as "racist", "wrong", "evil", etc. They are going for broke, they are within inches of achieving their goal of tossing the U.S. Constitution into the burn barrel and establishing the new Socialist States of America.
Unless Manchin caves on his promise not to kill the Senate filibuster, it would require a super majority vote in the Senate, which won’t happen.The fact that this is even on the table is scary. I used to think that the commerce clause was our founders biggest fawk up. Giving congress the ability to define by simple majority vote the makeup of what is supposed to be an independent branch of government is worse. Literally placing the lunatics in charge of the asylum.
The general public will stand for whatever Twitter and the media tell them too.IMO the general public won't stand for it.
Compromise is not the word you are looking for. Its sacrifice.Compromise is why we are where we are. The Republicans never drove anything back to the Right, they only kept it from slipping further Left and the Democrats kept pulling, pushing and prodding toward the Left.
