Conservative 🐟 - thought exercise, what is the limit in which the Supreme Court has gone too far and you’d openly support Brandon packing the courts to reign them in.

- Nationwide ban on all abortions
- Nationwide ban on all gun restrictions
- Ban of all contraceptives
- Repeal of same sex marriage
- Repeal of interracial marriages
- Repeal of womens right to vote
- Repeal of all non-white property owning males right to vote
-etc

What is your personal theoretical limit of “too far”

Honestly, my limit was the Senate refusing to hear the Garland nomination. Taking away a fundamental substantive due process right is beyond the pale.

Again, BCG fails to understand the distinction between “can Congress do this” and “should Congress do this.”

I was conservative until the whole Garland exercise and the cult of Trump. This SCOTUS season reinforced it and I don’t see myself ever voting R in my lifetime. I’ve always been a fervent believer of separation of church and state and that really seems like it was just completely thrown out by this court.

It’s legitimate to refuse a candidate if you believe they won’t be impartial on the bench or you have doubts about their track record as a judge or their moral character. It is not legitimate to block a candidate because you think your guy has a chance of winning and you want him to appoint someone to life on the bench.

I was extremely conservative for awhile. In 2012 I was basically teetering on tea party affiliation. As I got older I mellowed out a little and became much more moderate. Garland and the 2016 election was my last straw.

People like you are why I left the party all together.

Rather than everyone packing the court and making that the next trend, wouldn’t it be better to only allow 10 year terms?

I agree with JLC1. Reform is already warranted. FBI Directors get 10 year terms. I remember reading it was so they weren’t beholden to the party they were appointed by. I think it makes sense.

[edit] please don’t get hung up on court-packing, that was largely my mistake. The spirit of the question is about what would motivate you to call for change, not the mechanism for change itself (whether it’s impeachment, term limits, etc)

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that supporting packing the court won’t be supported, but that impeachment would be

I need to do more reading - didn’t know/forgot SCOTUS impeachments were possible.

Replace my question of “court packing” with impeachment
