BGW It is only “needed” when a Republican picks one. Over the years, Republican nominees have been more diverse in their views. Last Democratic pick that was not an ideologue was Whizzer White (by Kennedy - over 50 years ago). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bormio Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Unbelievably there are Democrats calling for court-packing if they win the Presidency in 2020. Making the case for it.

That's not the direction I'm leaning. There are some tweaking to stay current, and can't be taken literal word for word. Just as local and state laws that need to be taken out or revised, and I'm not speaking from a partisan point of view. Regards, BGW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no doubt that I need to study and review the constitution and the bill of rights. I have the Federalist Papers on my nightstand. Unfortunately I’ve got more pressing matter at hand. I do intend to dive into this Regards BGW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
