Democrats tamp down threats to pack high court and end filibuster over Trump SCOTUS pick

Wa Ex: Senate Democrats turned down the heat about talk related to expanding the Supreme Court or doing away with the legislative filibuster just days after some of their members threatened their party would do so if Republicans confirmed a Trump nominee before the election.

Sen. Chris Coons, a Delaware Democrat, called the idea that Democrats are threatening to end the filibuster and pack the courts to be “a heck of an assumption.”

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat, said of abolishing the filibuster, “I don’t believe in doing that. I think the filibuster serves a purpose. It is not often used. It’s often less used now than when I first came. And I think it’s part of the Senate that differentiates itself.”

Feinstein remained coy about whether she supported expanding and packing the high court, saying only, “Ask me when we win the majority.” more

  1. The Senate needs to vote Trump45’s pick in before the election……

    When Trump45 wins expand the court by 3 and make the court 8 vs 4…..

    And tell the DEMocRATs……Don’t threaten us again.

  2. Running scared. Watch them act less aggressively than when they overplayed their hands in the Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing on President Trump’s Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Most of the Dementiacrat Senators who voted against Justice Kavanaugh lost their seats in the 2018 midterm election. They are going to let their allies in the House of Representatives and the MSDM slander Trump’s replacement for the Noxious RBG.

  3. TOO LATE. You’ve threatened this repeatedly. We know with your now 3 states counting votes for NINE days after the election you have a plan to 1. Steal the election and 2. Make sure elections never matter again. They can’t control themselves – RBG dying and a senate confirmation is going to bring out their complete crazy train and remind everyone to run like hell from you lunatics.
