The thing is, he surely thinks that’s what he’s been doing these past 30 years. He swallowed his own kool aid long ago, and he is on the side of the good and righteous. I’d be surprised if he has any doubts or regrets about any of it. He’s Brent Norwalk from The Good Place.

Theater of the asinine. They’re well aware that this has a snowball’s chance in hell. Christ, what assholes.

An amendment is a good idea. They might pass one that fixed it at 11 and clarifies that the senate must vote by a 55 majority to reject a judicial nomination within two weeks or it is accepted by default.

I don’t completely disagree with you, but as I see the current political climate, getting the sort of consensus needed to ratify a constitutional amendment is unrealistic. YMMV

Everyone might go along with fixing it at 9 and getting rid of senate shenanigans, even though that leaves the Dems still screwed over by the Garland thing. The issue with court packing is that once you start doing it, every time there’s a senate and president from the same party they will do it.
Good luck with that, Ted. 
What’s it now, 48 years since the ERA passed both houses and it’s still not ratified?

Ah yes, Senators voting to let go of their own power-grabbing shenanigans! I’m sure that Ol’ Mitch will support that wholeheartedly.
This is why in theory it’s a worthy idea, but in reality these bloviating shitbags won’t even come close to reigning themselves in.

He will if he is going to be out of power.
I’ll take that bet!
I’ll even give you odds.

You really don’t think that McConnell would take Cruz’s amendment if it said “At some hypothetical point in the future if there’s a Democratic President and a Republican senate and the president nominates a supreme court justice in the last year, you won’t be allowed to just just dick with it the way you did last time”? Why wouldn’t he jump on that?
He doesn’t like to waste his time.

The last ratified amendment was in 1992 - and took 202 YEARS to ratify.
No one has that much time left.

The nice thing is, anyone listening to Pat Robertson at this point is probably too frail to raise a rifle for any purpose, let alone political.

Does that mean that Trump is the anti-christ?

The one before that took 100 days.
