“But what will the rest of the world think of us?” is a bullshit argument.
A. America don’t care.
B. “Rest of the world” is almost always code for global leftists anyway, and the regular people of other countries can’t stand their bossy shit libs either.
Living our lives based on the theoretical approval of an imaginary global monoculture is stupid. Nobody buys this anymore. Just be American and be awesome.

Oh. OH. Court packing. THAT is your big move.

Sir, I am a science teacher. I grade papers written by sixteen-year-olds who plagiarize their homework and at least have the decency to change a few words first. You did not even do THAT.

Here's your history lesson, free of charge, since apparently no one in your staff has a library card. 1937. Franklin Delano Roosevelt -- a Democrat, since we are keeping score -- tried the EXACT same scheme. Court wasn't ruling his way. New Deal programs were getting struck down. So what did he do? He proposed adding one new justice for every sitting justice over age 70. Could have ballooned the bench to FIFTEEN seats.

You know what happened next? His OWN party killed it. Buried it. The Democratic-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee called the plan -- and I want you to read this slowly -- "a needless, futile, and utterly dangerous abandonment of constitutional principle." They voted it down 70 to 20.

His. Own. Party.

The Democrats of 1937 had more spine than the entire current caucus combined. That is not a compliment to the current caucus.

And then -- THEN -- Biden's Autopen set up a whole Presidential Commission on Supreme Court reform in 2021. You just called that a "college seminar." Their OWN commission. Their OWN scholars. Produced a 294-page report. Declined to recommend expansion. Said it could, quote, "undermine the Court's legitimacy."

So the adults in your own movement said no. Twice. Across ninety years. And you are here calling for action.

This is the same energy as touching a hot stove, burning your hand, leaving for eighty-seven years, coming back, and going -- you know what, I think it might be different THIS time.

Spoiler: it is not different this time.

You are a Mumpsimus of the highest order. Look it up. I will wait.

Quinn's Law #22: Liberals love democracy unless it doesn't go their way.

Quinn's Law #26: Liberals like the courts unless the decision doesn't go their way.

I would explain the pattern to you further, but I left my crayons at home and I genuinely do not think we have enough hours in the day.

You called this Court "morally bankrupt." Interesting framing. Where is your bill for Congressional term limits, by the way? You have been in office since 2017. The Court has had nine justices since 1869 -- that is 157 years -- and somehow the COURT is the institution with the credibility problem. Not the body where some members have been in Washington so long their principles are still on backorder. Not the chamber where the only thing a few of them have reliably passed is gas and bad legislation.

You are not leading here. You are the hood ornament on a clown car pointing at the windshield and calling it a vision.

Nine justices is not a bug. It is the FEATURE. It is 157 years of institutional stability designed to make sure whichever party holds power cannot simply manufacture favorable rulings on demand. A court that gets resized every time the opposition wins a few cases is not a court. It is a rubber stamp. History has a name for countries that do that. It is not a flattering name.

The answer to losing cases before the Supreme Court is to make better constitutional arguments. I understand that might feel like an unfamiliar concept when you are used to a party that confuses volume with logic, but give it a shot sometime.

IF you agree:
LIKE this post so the algorithm shows it to people who need to read it.

SHARE this -- every share matters.

COMMENT below -- should any party be allowed to pack the courts every time rulings don't go their way? Tell me.

And if you want MORE of this -- the history, the data, the science, the receipts -- JOIN Bski's Classroom community on X or YouTube.

But what do I know -- I am only a published science teacher and medically retired Army combat medic who apparently absorbed more American political history before breakfast than @RoKhanna has managed in nine years in Congress.

@ksorbs Got to wonder if they are that cowardly, or know if they actually restrain the guy they'll be fired and prosecuted.
