Former Vice President Kamala Harris is rallying Democratic donors to oppose “additional justices” that might be nominated by President Donald Trump “before they happen.” Harris is heralding the fundraising by Josh Orton, president of the dark-money group “Demand Justice” (made infamous for its campaign to get Justice Stephen Breyer to resign). Demand Justice has pushed a radical agenda, including court packing.
In a post on X, Harris highlighted a New York Times article on the “liberal organization” “preparing a multimillion–dollar effort to oppose potential Trump Supreme Court appointees before they happen.”
Orton announced that “the project would cost $3 million to start and $15 million more if vacancies occurred.” The group expressly cited the possibility of Justices Clarence Thomas (77) and Samuel Alito (76) retiring.
Harris called upon people to contribute, posting that :
“We must be clear eyed about what is at stake with the Supreme Court right now. We cannot allow Donald Trump to hand pick one, if not two, additional justices. The nation’s highest court must be stopped from becoming even more beholden to him.”
Harris reportedly supports court packing and could use radical groups like Demand Justice to push through an expansion of the Court to produce an immediate liberal majority if Democrats take power.
Harris is right about one thing. This is an clear-eyed, remorseless strategy on the left to remove an obstacle to an equally radical agenda.
Years ago, Harvard professor Michael Klarman laid out a radical agenda to change the system to guarantee Republicans “will never win another election.” However, he warned that “the Supreme Court could strike down everything I just described.” Therefore, the court must be packed in advance to allow these changes to occur.
Likewise, Democratic strategist James Carville explained how this process of how the pack-to-power plan would work:
“I’m going to tell you what’s going to happen. A Democrat is going to be elected in 2028. You know that. I know that. The Democratic president is going to announce a special transition advisory committee on the reform of the Supreme Court. They’re going to recommend that the number of Supreme Court justices go from nine to 13. That’s going to happen, people.”
The rhetoric for this renewed push for court packing and war chests on the left remains entirely unconnected to the actual record of conservatives on the Court, who have been repeatedly attacked by President Trump for voting against major cases by the Administration. From the tariffs decision to the expected birthright citizenship ruling, the conservative justices have routinely voted against the Administration.
Moreover, the vast majority of opinions on the Court remain unanimous or nearly unanimous. The ideological split on the Court is only present in relatively few cases each term. While those cases admittedly have significant impacts, this is not a rigidly or robotically divided court in most cases. Indeed, liberal justices have pushed back on the left calling for court packing or describing the Court as conservative or ideological.
Yet, Harris continues to rally donors and voters with claims of an “activist” court.
What is most striking about the “clear-eyed” leadership of Harris is that her model for a new justice appears to be the only Biden nominee, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Both conservative and liberal justices have publicly criticized Jackson in past opinions. Jackson has lashed out at her colleagues while adopting analysis that would effectively gut areas like First Amendment jurisprudence.
Many of us have found Jackson’s opinions to be unnerving and unhinged. However, liberal groups and Harris would like to replicate her approach to jurisprudence — suggesting not only a packed court but one populated by unrestrained jurists.
For her part, Justice Jackson shocked many by effectively endorsing Harris in her presidential run. Jackson publicly praised her nomination on ABC’s The View as “historic” and something that “gives a lot of people hope.”
With the millions being raised and radical groups positioning themselves for a court-packing push, there are many who see a second Harris nomination as a cause for “hope.” For the rest of us, it is not just “clear-eyed” but unblinking dread at what could await this country if this strategy succeeds in the coming years.

I’m afraid I have bad news
The U.S. is crushing Iran. I realize they almost destroyed us, shooting down a couple jets. Yet, woke, we bounced back and have made them less lethal than the violent immigrants who came here illegally. I appreciate how deeply saddened you are. Of course, Laken Riley’s mom is pretty sad, too.
Coming from a person who is likely not a “natural born Citizen” — and thus ineligible to the presidency as intended by the Founders, but instead a dual Jamaican-American citizen — it is beyond ironic, not to mention comical, for Harris to be lecturing her comrades about the composition of the Supreme Court. As Charlie Kirk would have stated: “Prove me wrong.”
I’ll wait.

Actual Americans actually did this for the first time in history 66 years ago, sans the DEI and affirmative action.
In other culture war news, a study in Finland involving thousands of patients, was published today and relates to gender dysphoria and gender reassignment. The legacy media is ignoring it.
The investigators reported in the results section:
Among adolescents who underwent medical gender reassignment, psychiatric morbidity increased markedly during follow-up—rising from 9.8% to 60.7% in feminising gender reassignment and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising gender reassignment. After adjusting for prior psychiatric treatment, all gender-referred adolescents had similarly elevated risks of psychiatric morbidity, with hazard ratios approximately three times higher than female controls and five times higher than male controls.
The conclusions of these European investigators were precisely contra the left wing narrative.
Severe psychiatric morbidity is common among gender-referred adolescents and appears to be more prevalent in those referred after the recent surge in referrals. Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment.
The “trans” political train has been a massive medical scandal peddled by politicians, dwarfing the Tuskegee Syphilis Study exponentially. Partial-birth abortions, masking toddlers, COVID lock downs, virtual Zoom learning, climate change, and so many other issues, Americans need to stop looking to politicians as their betters.

Yes, tragic. Common sense might have deterred this in the beginning.
Kamala has no power politically so no one cares what she thinks, it not like resist Trump at all costs even if it costs us something we want and is valuable to us isn’t already the Democrats policy.
The Democrat want another embarrassment and utter fool like KJB on the court for themselves.
Kamala’s comments mean nothing. She’s irrelevant and she’s not tuned in to real issues.
You’re dreaming.
Three constitutional amendments are needed pronto. The Keep-9 amendment, a congressional district amendment that outlaws partisan gerrymandering, and a tax uniformity amendment for economic growth and basic fairness.
The Keep-9 amendment is self-explanatory. The no-gerrymandering amendment should list the metrics by which district borders are drawn (compact, contiguous, equal population, and minimize political subdivision splits). The tax uniformity amendment should apply to federal, state, and local governments, and should specify that the tax rate on something cannot depend on the quantity of the thing being taxed.
Listen you stupid old fart, amendments don’t happen overnight, they need a 2/3’s of both houses. Then state ratification of 3/4 states.
Knowing you’re dummer than a rock, tell us how that’s 3 A’s would pass while Trump is pres?
Seriously man, how stupid can you b e?
^ you. Right off the Internet search. Almost word for word. You and George must share an apartment. Seriously, man, how ORIGINAL can you be.
So the fact that it takes a while is a reason for never amending the Constitution? You’re a moron.
Is it a sign of cleverness to insult people? Is that what you people think?
Voting is becoming absurd. Calif is 40% republican with 2 reps? Move to 40% of reps must be repubs. It’s becoming meaningless. The population cannot be managed by 500 incompetent people. There’s nothing 500 incompetent people can agree upon. Education and families are failing.
Packing the court destroys democracy just as they’ve packed the courts with Boasbergs and Duggans. There must be a point of sedition, treason? Idk but it’s strategically planned.
Republicans need to strategically plan offensively. Harris’ parents entered and ripped off educations. One left and the other teaches communism, socialism? 😂.
The fringes are looking frayed. Now what? DJT has the right idea by decreasing the size of government, DOGE, but the bureaucrats are behemoth. 🤔 how can one salvage the US?
The current Supreme Court is too small for the number of cases heard. Look at the size of the so-called shadow docket.
So expand the court to the number of courts of appeal. That is how 9 justices was chosen, I think.
The are currently 13 circuit courts. However, the 9th circuit is far too large and should be divided, say north and south. So then there are 14 circuits. But a mob of 14 justices needs a supervisor, so then the Chief Justice makes 15.
Cases are heard by panels of 3, maybe better is 5, justices. Only rarely is the matter then reargued before the entire court.
No more shadow docket!
NOPE
Try FDR.
Explain yourself.
To quote Ruth Bader Ginsburg: nine is the right number.
Amen.
Doesn’t matter as the quality declines. Horace Gray and legislating from the bench as an example of what they do. Clearly illegal is what to expect.
Happy Easter or is it trans visibility day 🤔
Harris is just a robber, nothing more and nothing less. Will the robbers vote for her, of course. Endless parasitic robbery and anyplace she goes turns to rubble.
Why talk about it.
Prove it stupid.
If the lower courts would rule on the law instead of political leanings or feelings (KJB), there would be less need for the shadow docket. If I am not mistaken, it is only in the last 2 Trump terms, more in his 2nd, that the docket cases have been so many.
Another reason could be is Trump is pushing the boundaries and trying to get things clarified that could be ambiguous. Take for example the birth right citizenship issue. I have heard several different possibilities as presented by several different constitutional lawyers. Some of the issues are also critical time issues, for example, deploying the National Guard.
I note that Professor Turley has proposed a gradual expansion of the Supreme Court — https://buckleybeacon.com/2017/11/16/jonathan-turley-on-expanding-the-supreme-court/
Thank you, CC. An interesting interview with interesting arguments.
No, please don’t ADD any more gubment employees, elected or appointed officials. Cut it to 7.
Nothing is closer to modern-day Fascists in America than today’s Democrat party. They shamelessly push for more power, consolidation of power, and guaranteeing never to lose power. One party rule. Just like Mussolini and Hitler achieved. The amazing thing is that the media are nearly universally silent as to the danger of these moves. Why? Because they are propagandists who agree with the Democrat agenda.
California Post
Kamala Harris stands accused of “weaponizing” the California Attorney General’s office against a pro-life activist who alleges he was exposing the illegal sale of aborted fetuses.
David Daleiden, whose nine-year legal saga instigated by Harris is still ongoing, released shocking undercover videos he took of Planned Parenthood executives discussing fees and prices for fetal tissues in July 2015.

I believe that court packing would lead to civil war in this country. Maybe not immediately, and not in the manner of the last one, but I think it could be the catalyst. The reason for wanting to expand the court is pretty specific. The left, at the behest of China, would like to destabilize this country. Once they pack the Court and remove the filibuster, there is nothing left to stop them. They want an open border, that’s pretty obvious. By allowing in millions of refugees, the US would be forced to massively expand welfare and taxes. But they also want rapid citizenship, so that these people will be able to vote. That would allow the left to target states that they haven’t been able to take over. Because its working in Europe, they also want to expand censorship so that dissenting speech can be criminalized. This will allow more government control but also to create fear in anyone who attempts to challenge these policies. They also want to get rid of Heller and the idea that the 2nd Amend allows for the personal ownership of firearms. The challenge to Heller will come from a deep blue state, and the ruling will largely remove, or impossibly limit, person gun ownership.
There is no civil war. The communists won that a long, long time ago.
Shall we NOT forget this guy.
________________________
In 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed the “Judicial Procedures Reform Bill” to add up to six new justices to a Supreme Court that had been consistently invalidating his New Deal legislation, a plan labeled “court packing” by critics. Though it failed in Congress.
Libs will do what ever they can to go around our Constitution.
Talk about NO Kings.
What’s the saying “Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely”. FDR was a Socialist “take from you to give too others, until you have no more, then poverty for all, the perfect solution. Let’s just use a swayed Court I mean who needs a Constitution, oh right the Courts have swayed left already.
In fact, the Constitution precludes communism, the prime maxim of which is “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.” Individual, specific, and particular welfare, favor, or charity may not be taxed for or funded—Congress may tax for only debt, defense, and general welfare. Congress has absolutely NO power over private property, which is not public property; only the owner may “claim and exercise” dominion over private property.
Imagine America if the “manifest tenor” of Article 1, Section 8, and the 5th Amendment had been supported by judges and justices.
The singular American failure is the judicial branch, with emphasis on the Supreme Court.
He’s forgotten. Dead. This is 2026 you dumb arse.
FDR was a communist leader with communist followers like Alger Hiss, the tip of the communist iceberg at the State Department and elsewhere in the FDR administration.
The singular American failure is the judicial branch, with emphasis on the Supreme Court.
Minnesota already proved the concept that States can nullify Federal Laws the political class of the State doesn’t like. It went without remark “because Trump” but that’s what happened. Why would these bozos think that their political opposites would abide the dictates of a packed court?
Wow, all recall how, during VP Kamala’s 2022 Trip to the Korean DMZ, “Clear Eyed” Kamala praised the Strong Alliance between NORTH KOREA and America!
That’s right Campers, America’s Wine Mom, seeking to become Commander in Chief, thought NORTH KOREA was our Friend!
The only thing “clear” about the ever-cackling Kamala Toe Harris is her brain cavity. A fact.
Wait………………. didn’t she go to the US border??? Or was it to Europe? She is so confusing.
Too much wine, may have something to do with it.
You stupid drunk, shut up.
BAN FOR LIFE!
She was standing on the northern flank–the eastern flank of NATO.
This is exactly why, no matter what differences or disagreements we may have with some of Trump’s, or other Republican’s, performance and/or agenda, the Democrats MUST NOT BE PERMITTED to EVER regain control of the Federal government at any time in the foreseeable future. If they do gain full control and succeed in packing the Court (and, as Turley’s column illustrates, the former will lead quickly and directly to the latter) they will NEVER relinquish power short of a successful, violent, revolution, and everything positive that has distinguished the U. S. A. since its founding will be completely, and likely irrevocably, wiped out.
I am not sure there are enough people that comprehend that. Packing the court isn’t something that the Left wants because its a nice idea, they have a specific agenda for wanting this. They already know that even without a filibuster, they can’t achieve what the courts can rapidly achieve. One judge can make policy for an entire country. Once you control the legal system, you also get control of the police. You don’t even need to arrest your political opponents, although they have no problem with that either, all you really need to do is apply the threat of this.
If the new rule of the game is that it is fine to pack the Court in order to ‘save democracy,’ then surely folks here would understand if Republicans did it first to hard‑wire real safeguards: mandatory civic formation, a serious return of power to the states, even a rethink of the Seventeenth. After all, if court packing is just ‘reform,’ why not let the GOP use it to lock in protections against future tyranny and then sunset the extra seats.
Or is the idea that court packing is brilliant and noble only when your side does it to make sure the Court never blocks your program?
” the new rule of the game is that it is fine to pack the Court in order to ‘save democracy,’ then surely folks here would understand if Republicans did it first”
If by some miracle Republicans are lucky enough to retain full control of Congress *and* replace some RINOS in 2026, the very first thing Trump should do is to pack the Court to forestall any such action by the Democrats. Maybe he should try it no matter what, and be so freaking obnoxious about it as to give it enough bad publicity as to serve as an obstacle of Democrats do regain full control, in spite of their identifying hypocrisy.
Republicans don’t govern that way. Guys like Thune are not interested in anything but staying in office. You have too many 40+ year serving congressmen from both parties that are just in this for the power, and the money that comes along with it.
“You have too many 40+ year serving congressmen from both parties that are just in this for the power, and the money that comes along with it.”
I like the affirmative term limit solution. Anyone can be elected to any Federal office, serve one term, and then retire. Anyone so elected may run for a second term for that office, but only under the condition that he or she agrees to be executed by firing squad at the conclusion of that second term.
New rule? There are no rules on the left. They are strategic. Time is nothing. Hand out DLs that look and act everyone’s license was strategic, 180 categories of visas, strategic, Breaking the border, strategic, claiming false asylum as refugee, strategic, puppets Biden, mayorkas, strategic, Harris isn’t a citizen, strategic etc. It’s an internal army so stop denial, Olly. Obama is a fraudster.
It’s a combination of political and economic destruction and never do anything rashly. Jackson is a puppet numbskull vote and sotomayor but very disappointed in kagan.
Citizen capacity as civics but what of economic capacity? What’s the idea there? What is your proposal for economic capacity?
When DJT asked congress about citizens 1st and dems remained seated it should be obvious they do not support the United States of America.
Happy Easter
The biggest takeaway from the Obama experiment is how crime snowballed, avalanched. There were so many thieves waiting to break free from the confines of laws.
There are many people waiting to be taken care of by anyone. Of course socialism sounds good. There’s someone to invite them into the warmth of collectivism except they froze to death anyway.
Lead me in the paths of righteousness also means simply the right road literally.
The complete breakdown of laws is the takeaway.
The Dems know they are in a Civil War against the American founding. They act consistent with that knowledge. Their rules are the infamous Rules for Radicals, and they intend to win. I can at least respect their consistency while disagreeing with their goals.
The Republicans, meanwhile, pretend there is no war, like we’re still playing by the old political rules. They will lose the conflict if they remain in that delusion. The America we knew and loved will be gone. It’s time for the good guys to wake up, retake the field, and fight for freedom, like their lives depend on it, because they do.
Here here, and hear, hear, omfk
I like your contrast, and we have the same fears. These are not American Democrats from the past.
“The Dems know they are in a Civil War against the American founding.”
But they don’t know which dream they are heading to.
“The Republicans, meanwhile, pretend there is no war,
But they are stuck on making arguments instead of winning the battle.
“…they intend to win.”
What you mean to say is not that “they intend to win” but that Americans intend, that Americans are bound and determined, to give their country and the treasure of its producers away.
The vote must have never gone to the “dictatorship of the majority”—”the poor.”
It was intended from the outset that the Constitution would prevail, supported by the votes of society’s producers.
I think a large part of our electorate believe in or have been taught to accept participation trophy results for individuals for important positions. Kamala, I am sure accepted many of these in her rise to power (Willie Brown as an example). This problem creates candidates, for all of the government positions, that do not have the ability to properly think, process and make decisions that are in the best interests of the country as a whole. Look at Joe Biden, what did he actually do that really benefitted the country in his 50 years of collecting a paycheck and more. Supreme court justice KJB is another prime example of a trophy person as well. This applies to Republicans as well as Democrats, though it appears to apply mostly to Democrats, at least recently.
In the present state of the world and this country, a strong leader is necessary. As much as I dislike President Trump’s personality, he has accomplished numerous projects in the private sector around the world, that has enabled him a unique working experience and relationships. He is not a soft and squishy politician that changes with the blowing wind and perhaps that is the problem. He will compromise and accept but only after pushing the boundaries. I think this is good after the easily manipulated Biden and the appeasement era of Obama. The world and half of this country got used to an easy push over instead of a world leading country. President Trump, not only has approximately half of America but most of the European Union that he is to convince to be strong again.
I hope he succeeds, for China is at our doorstep.
Sometimes I think about the lives of the politically ambitious (probably much more intelligent and talented) women in the Bay area from that time who weren’t willing to sleep with a married Willie Brown in exchange for sinecures and career advancement. What happened to them? Will we ever know? One would think that feminism would come in to play here but when expedient it shifts to “don’t question women’s choices” (what about the choices of the women who wouldn’t?).
When history writes it eulogy for Great Britain, which will happen soon, it will marvel at how perfect the contrast was between Trump and Starmer.
We will be around long after your tiresome little republic has died, strangled by your corrupt politics and corrupt justice system. You are just too blind to see your own death spiral…
And no, after 250 years we do not want you back.
I take it the above is from (formerly great) Britain. I just have two questions: what are you smoking? And, do you ever plan to leave your mum’s basement and take a look at what is actually going on in your country?
I do not smoke. I do not live in my mother’s basement. Unlike you, I suspect, I have travelled widely, often in the service of Crown and Country. You know sweet Fanny Adams about the UK; reading Turley’s absolute bollocks, or Fox News’ absolute bollocks, or Vance’s delusional bollocks about the UK does not actually enlighten one as to the UK. Starmer is not a good or effective PM, but the one sensible thing he has done is decline to join in the Orange Shitgibbon and Bibi’s lunatic war. Our worst politicians are better than Trump, Vance, Rubio, Harris, AOC. Do not even get me started on little Pete Hegseth…
And I guess you are female, or want to be. And thanks for confirming the reach of Turley’s outstanding website, drawing in a global audience. Nothing better to do today?
No matey, male, heterosexual, white, conservative. Turley’s website is not outstanding, but occasionally I like to pop in and sneer at your MAGA delusions. Turley is especially offensive for spreading so many lies about the UK and Europe, and for trying to push his free speech nonsense on the rest of the world; GWU really needs a better professor of law, given Turley so often mistakes sensationalist tabloid reports for hard facts. As for his worship of Madison, one of the most incompetent of Presidents… I suppose Madison is in some way an inspiration for the Orange Shitgibbon given his record in starting a war that any sane person could see that he could not win, and wrecking the American economy in the process.
He or she is as phony as a purple and pink Union Jack.
It is spelt “phoney”. And the Union Flag is only a Union Jack when flown aboard ship. Also, by definition, purple and pink colours would render it not a Union Flag as the colours are as important as the three crosses in conveying the Union of the Three Kingdoms. Moron.
Has Big Ben been renamed? I heard it’s new name is to be Big Mohammed? Any truth in that?
None, you moron. Though both Mohammed and Benjamin are good Semitic names of course. You do of course realise that Arabs are Semitic?
Great Britainistan!
The understanding of President Trump to say the least is very shallow. He understands that like it or not the world revolves around oil. The NATO nations of Europe no longer support the U.S. because of their dependence on Russian gas and oil.
Because of the closing of the strait of hormuz India oil reserves have dropped to a twenty five day supply. The largest supply is by Japan which is down to 150 days.
Trump is saying that the world nations that are dependent on oil that travels through the strait because of their dependence will soon have to take responsibility for seeing that the strait is reopened.
Trump understands the pressure on the dependent nations is immense. Many of these nations have seen a rise in the price of gasoline by over fifty percent. In Trumps first term the U.S. became energy independent. We now, unlike Europe are beholden to no other nation for our energy supply.
In 1991 the U.S. imported fifty percent of its oil requirements to keep the economy moving.
Trump understood the problem of Americans dependency on other nations and addressed it with drill baby drill and America first when the environmentalist were doing everything they could to stop fracking.
If you would like to have more than a shallow understanding of the importance of oil I would recommend the book The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power by Daniel Yergin. Or you can willfully remain cowering in the cave.
That would seem to be an exceptionally clear-eyed understanding.
Trump understands the square root of nothing. How anyone thinks he can be a “Commander in Chief” when he was too cowardly to serve his country during Vietnam just proves that Republicans are utterly delusional, just as delusional as the Democrats were thinking Kamala, or before that Hillary, were credible. Your political leaders are crass and imbecilic. Who is your great hope? Little Corporal Vance? Ha!
Medical and college deferments have never been considered cowardly. Biden received the same deferments, Clinton dodged the draft, and Obama never volunteered. They were all cowards? Vance served, what unit were you with?
Still playing that game again. You know as well as I do. You can post a bunch of BS about time in country, rank, or MOS.
It’s so easy to look up.
Like say 91A or B. You guess
Tell us what MAS trousers are and what they are used for. Yes you can goggle it too.
How may levels of EMT’s are?
Why would you imagine that other countries’ military have MAS trousers or could give a damn about how many levels of EMT there are in the US military? I might ask you the difference between a WEM and a MEM, or when No8s became AWD. “Goggle” it? You must be illiterate. Or drunk.
At least in my country we know not to salute without headgear, or in civvies. And we know how to pronounce Lieutenant and bouy. You would probably not even qualify to serve as an Oropesa Float Coxswain. 😉
I served with the Royal Naval Reserve, many years ago, and have served two tours in Baghdad, alongside a great many decent Americans, with the gongs to match from a grateful Queen. Your argument just shows that your recent Presidents have tended to be spineless cowards. Why do you vote for them? Even Jimmy Carter had a reasonably distinguished service career in contrast.

So tell us the doctor who allowed Trump to not serve?
PS… it’s not a regular doctor. Got any ideas….
It was a military doctor. Does not mean that there was no possibility of corrupt or deceitful practice, especially given Trump has himself admitted he dodged the draft because he “wasn’t stupid.”
“The NATO nations of Europe no longer support the U.S. because of their dependence on Russian gas and oil.”
You lost me here–not that NATO nations no longer support the U.S., but that they’re dependent on Russian gas and oil. Didn’t Biden take care of that by blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines in 2022?
Energy Independent? On paper the US is Energy Independent; in reality not so much so. Most US produced crude is light sweet crude oil(and highly exported) while a majority of US refineries are setup to use heavy sour crude oil. In the past much of this heavy sour crude oil came from Venezuela….this may happen.again. Presently
Canada provides the US with heavy sour crude oil(tar sand crude oil) via the Keystone pipeline system. However, with a push in Canada to build a pipeline to the west coast, this heavy sour crude oil may end up going to China. The US will still need to import heavy sour crude oil.
Walz frequently stated he was in Hong Kong or China during the spring 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, even telling a podcast in February 2024 that he was in Hong Kong on June 4th.
