If the Dems keep the House, take the presidency AND the Senate, will they PACK the courts?

Of course they will

The court has BEEN packed. Democrats will, as has been done several times, try to bring it back into balance. The SCOTUS is NOT intended to be a political OR religious tool, it is supposed to be FAIR. The SCOTUS has been added to and subtracted from several times. Putting it in balance is a patriotic thing to do. Recently three religious radicals have been put on the court. That's not "freedom of religion", that's religious domination! Exactly what this nation was founded AGAINST!

And unfortunately that notion has been superseded by the idea that you can make people believe anything as long as you use the right words.

Neither Party, should pack the Supreme Court. Instead, a neutral, Constitutionally minded body should oversee these things. I am a centrist, and I think political Parties are pure bullshit. Instead, vote based on political ideology, and policy.

You can't even do that if the candidates aren't honest about what their policies are. I'm pretty sure George W Bush didn't run on invading Iraq, but at least one of his staff wrote about how the invasion plans were on his desk his very first day in office.

Hello:

This is all quite simple. The right wing STOLE Obama's pick, and they're going to STEAL it back..

Truth is, the makeup of the Supreme Court isn't mandated in the Constitution.. It's up to Congress. Moscow Mitch stole that seat because it was LEGAL for him to do so. The Dems are gonna steal it back because it's LEGAL for them to do so.

The Dems are mad because Trump has set their agenda back by at least half a decade. So..., if they find a way to pack the courts, they probably will. However, if they open up that Pandora's box, the Cons will do the same when they get a chance. In that scenario, the future holds a court with an unwieldy number of justices ;)

More like a century and a half! The Civil War has been TRUMPED! (And that's no pun)!

Conservatives are putting their "freedoms" ahead of their principles.

Really?!?! Trump is that powerful? He, single handedly, set the liberal agenda back by 150 years? Wow ;)
