The Democrats have introduced a Court-packing bill in the House of Representatives.

The scheme is intended to expand the Supreme Court from 9 to 13 Justices, to annul the three Justices appointed by Donald Trump.

Democrats poo-pooed the notion they would do this before the last election and then Joe Stealin' set up a commission to "study" the "problem" just last week. This was quick work.

Conservative radio talk show host Mike "Valley Girl" Gallagher claimed this would doom the Democrats in the '22 elections.

Gallagher is more enthusiastic than intelligent. The fact is, half of America won't even know about this until it is a fait-accompli and of those who do know about it a sizable number will think it no big deal - or actively support it. The media, when it discusses it at all, will portray this as "rebalancing the Court" after "Trump packed it" by appointing people to fill vacancies. That has been the argument used by Democrats since Trump appointed Kavanaugh, and it will be the one used by the media to numb the sensibilities of the public should it be necessary. They will equate acting in accordance with the Constitution with "court packing" and will justify court packing to somehow fulfill the Constitution - even though there is nothing there about balancing the Court.

They will (correctly) argue the nine member SCOTUS is by custom and not law, and that it is perfectly acceptable to do this. No doubt they will point to appelate courts, which are reformed from time to time. They'll work on this, and in the end enough people will drop their opposition that they will get it.

The Left rarely acts quickly. Often they float trial balloons, not to see how they will fly but to get the public used to the idea.

As one caller to Gallagher's show rightly pointed out, a Hillary Presidency would have taken complete control of the Court and this wouldn't be necessary. Now they need to take the Court in another way. They know SCOTUS is all that stands in the way of their radical agenda.

So they are going to throw America into a pot of water and turn up the heat.

Gallagher believes Americans will rebel. How did that work out with Obamacare? I notice we STILL have it despite an enraged public. And Biden will resurrect the individual mandate (if he hasn't already done so.)

Control of the Supreme Court is critical for the next phase of the great socialist revolution in America. They have to give their impramateur to the radical agenda that is about to be unleashed. And they are necessary to putting the Democrats in eternal power. The Court's refusal to hear the Texas vote fraud case (despite being "packed" by Trump) is one example. Pack this Court and the Democrats will be able to set up a copymachine outside of apolling place printing fake ballots and SCOTUS will say it's o.k. Remember, the judiciary is autocratic and it can override the fickle Will of the People any time it likes. And we've accepted the notion (an extra-Constitutional notion, I might add) that the Courts have the final say.

No, I don't think this is going to do any real permanent damage to the Democrats. It will do permanent damage to the Republic and the Republican Party, but not the Democrats, who will triumph thanks in no small part to their domination of the news media.

I predicted last year would be the last free and fair election. I see nothing to suggest it will be otherwise.

Optimism is fine, but being a pollyanna is just plain stupid.
