I was told I was wrong.
Ok, I was told we just see it differently.
With respect, you really didn't. You said you were against the concept of court packing, which is good, but you didn't address the fact that five Senators issued a thinly veiled threat to one of our three branches of government.
Quote:And we've all said we're against the court packing so I don't know if we supposed to get the torches and pitchforks now or wait until the parade date is set? Blumenthal was one person who signed. I know you have a personal hate for him so what else is there to add?
The more to add would be utter condemnation of threats made to one of the cornerstones of our Federal government.
Quote:If Trump would have said you can guarantee there was zero thought put into it. We have to give sane people a little bit of room for doubt.
Your argument here actually works against you. If a sane person makes such a statement then you can count on their having given the matter a lot of thought before making it. Having done so they made the threat anyways. It's like being mad at a five year old and a thirty-five year old for the same thing. The thirty-five year old will, rightfully, be subject to far more scrutiny and suffer far greater consequences for their actions. Phil is perfectly correct here, there would be complete bedlam in the media if Trump made the same statement to the SCOTUS.
