There is zero basis to claim or think that a Democratic presidency would be any more authoritarian than Trump's.
America - too good to let the conservatives drag it back to 1950.

Point out where those articles show that Democrats want to pack the Supreme Court on the way to an increasingly authoritarian America.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View Post"Court packing" refers to the practice of arbitrarily expanding the number of Supreme Court justices in order to artificially create vacancies and then "pack" the court with judges who are likely to rule in the president's favor. So suppose Biden wins and inherits a Supreme Court with a conservative majority who is likely to rule against him. No problem, just keep adding justices until he has a liberal majority. It's rather insidious.Last edited by seanD; 10-01-2020, 04:16 PM.
