Kamala Harris wants to expand the Supreme Court, along with FDR’s failed plan

Former Vice President Kamala Harris wants to expand the Supreme Court.

This is a very bad idea.

FDR, when he was very popular, after winning his first election, tried that – and gave his head to her.

The reason for his attempt, in 1937, to have 15 judges was to overcome strong opposition to his New Deal programs.

HARRIS’ ‘NOT A BAD IDEA’ FOR DEMS INCLUDES SCOTUS PARKING, ENDING CHOICE COLLEGE

Sound familiar?

Even some Democrats at the time thought that this would seriously damage the independence of the judiciary.

Congress refused to approve the bill, even though Roosevelt enjoyed a majority in the Democratic Alliance.

HARRIS IS LOOKING FOR THE ‘CENTRAL ARRANGER’ TO REVOLVE THE SCOTUS AND THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

But the supreme court, perhaps under pressure, then began to support the massive New Deal programs introduced after the Great Depression.

Harris said he wanted to “invite ideas,” such as packing SCOTUS, to the movement’s party. His goal: “To reduce this illusion of the red world.”

In an interview with the liberal group Emerge, the former vice president also said they should look at the Electoral College and statehood for DC and Puerto Rico, both efforts that would help Democrats.

Harris, who was nominated by the Democratic Alliance when Joe Biden left office, lost seven states that went to Donald Trump in 2024. He was unusually cautious during his 107-day run, spending the first third refusing to speak to the media.

Now he is increasingly running as a candidate, perhaps emboldened by Trump’s unpopularity over the Iran war and other issues.

House Speaker Mike Johnson accused Harris of “dangerous gambling,” saying: “You don’t just blow up the system when you lose.”

DEMOCRATS BLOW QUESTIONS THAT HARRIS SHOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT IN 2028.

The reason many politicians avoid messing with the court, the Electoral College or the Senate filibuster, is fear. They have dark visions of the same unchecked power that was used against them when they no longer controlled the White House or Congress. Republicans worry that they won’t be able to stop the liberal agenda, starting with national health insurance, when they get it.

One of Harris’ many problems during the campaign was that he couldn’t separate himself from Biden, famously saying on “The View” that “there is nothing that comes to mind” that he would do differently.

The former president himself has kept an unusually low profile. Democrats have actually moved on from Biden, who is fighting cancer.

Even while in the White House, Trump has drawn media attention as he battles four criminal investigations. This was because Biden took himself out of the media to hide his severe mental decline.

In fact, the person who mentions Biden most often, in speeches and on social media, is Trump – even if the topic has nothing to do with his predecessor.

Asked by Fox’s Bret Baier if Xi Jinping likes the news that he has not approved arms sales to Taiwan, Trump said:

“I would say ‘like’ is probably the strongest word because you think I can do it just by signing my signature, unlike Biden who can’t sign his signature.”

Regarding the Democrats who still have a deep love for the former President of this country, Mr. Barack Obama, who has emerged as the most prominent leader of the party, Trump.

“We took it out,” Obama said of Iran on one of Stephen Colbert’s last shows, “without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out… and we didn’t have to kill a bunch of people or close the Strait of Hormuz.”

When Colbert jokingly suggested that he himself would run for president, Obama said the bar had already been lowered.

Trump — whom he often refers to as “Barack Hussein Obama,” for obvious reasons — hit the ground running.

Trump shared a post from a former adviser that “there is now irrefutable evidence that he was the leader of a treasonous conspiracy to subvert the will of the American people and overthrow the government of the United States in 2016.”

The president added: “I hope they arrest you before your grand opening of your lodge on the south side of Chicago,” referring to Obama’s presidential library.

In another post, Trump called Obama “the greatest DEMONIC FORCE in American politics in decades.”

A number of Democrats, led by Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, will be fighting Harris for the 2028 nomination. It will be the first time in 16 years that Trump’s name has not been on the presidential ballot.

Such polls come ridiculously early, given past campaign seasons where the top names quickly disappeared when the action began.

If Kamala Harris is smart, she’ll drop this idea of ​​packing the Supreme Court. He would say it was a trial balloon, which popped up quickly when FDR tried such a program 89 years ago.
