In this video, we discuss how the move to Pack the Supreme Court is doomed before it even begins. We need to watch the other hand people!

Articles for Reference:

What would this mean for gun control…

Just because a bill is introduced, it doesn’t mean anything immediately…

Bills that have been introduced so far, but nothing has happened:
- AWB
- HR’s 1446, 127, 1, and 8

Stupidest comment for the hall of fame…

"We are here today because the United States Supreme Court is broken. It is out of balance, and it needs to be fixed," Markey said at the news conference. "Too many Americans view our highest court in the land as a partisan, political institution, not our impartial, judicial branch of government.”

Why would Pelosi NOT put this to a vote on the floor?… It’s because 2022 is starting to effect their actions and they are scared…

Why this is not going to work:

“the bill has a grim future even without GOP opposition. Asked about the proposal at her weekly news conference, Pelosi said: "I have no plans to bring it to the floor."
The House speaker added: "I support the president's commission to study such a proposal."

“The Supreme Court can be expanded by an act of Congress, but the legislation is highly unlikely to become law in the near future given Democrats' slim majorities, which include scores of lawmakers who are not on board with the idea. President Joe Biden has said he is "not a fan" of packing the court.”

“Realistically, the bill is unlikely to pass anytime soon. Until recently, adding seats to the Supreme Court was considered a very radical tactic”

Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-phony-furor-over-expanding-the-supreme-court/2021/04/13/4f56bbba-9c69-11eb-b7a8-014b14aeb9e4_story.html

“But a court-expansion law would have to pass the Senate, highly improbable unless Democrats abolish the filibuster — and Sens. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) firmly oppose that.”
