Kamala Harris is again promising the radical wing of her party that she will pack the Supreme Court. Pete Buttigieg and others have done the same to pander to the extreme left. These calls are increasing among Democratic leaders despite a recent poll showing that the Court remains the more popular institution vis-à-vis Congress, and that the majority of Americans agree with its major decisions.
The Marquette Law School poll shows that the Court remains slightly underwater in popularity (47% favor, 53% disfavor), but it is still much more popular than Congress or the two political parties. Moreover, that popularity is increasing, not decreasing, as a result of recent decisions. It was at 44% in 2025.
The mantra to pack the Court is premised on the false claim that the Court is ideologically robotic and partisan. That claim has always been disconnected from the actual voting record of the Court. Forty-four percent of cases are decided unanimously by the Supreme Court. When nearly unanimous cases (8-1 and 7-2) are included, that figure jumps to over 60 percent.
The liberal justices themselves have pushed back on the Democratic narrative. Justices Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor have all contradicted these claims. Justice Kagan recently spoke publicly on these claims, “rejecting claims that the high court’s conservative majority is in President Donald Trump’s corner.”
The most recent poll shows that Americans agree with most of the major decisions in the last year.
The poll highlights a disconnect with the logic of court packers. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) has called for packing the Court because it does not follow her views and those of “widely held public opinion.” I have pushed back on that rationale given the Court’s function to be a countermajoritarian institution. However, this poll even challenges the flawed rationale for court packing.
Even the most controversial decisions break at around fifty percent. Notably, the opinion that Harris repeatedly denounces as an attack on democracy (barring racial gerrymandering) is supported by a majority of the country.
Yet, Democratic leaders and the far left continue the false claim that the Court is out-of-step with America and captured by the Administration. The reason is simple. The DSA and far left are threatening establishment candidates. They are throwing institutions such as the Supreme Court to the mob in an attempt to use them to regain power. It is not just tragic but pathetic. These establishment figures are unlikely to be safe from the mob. Hakeem Jeffries can call the Supreme Court “illegitimate” and brandish a baseball bat on social media, but the mob is still chanting “you’re next” when he appears on the screens at rallies.
For its part, the far left knows that the full agenda of changes that it wants to make to our constitutional system cannot occur without control of the Supreme Court. Law professors and deans are joining them in calling for the trashing of our Constitution and “radical changes” to our system. They will need control of the Court to achieve many of those changes.
So the American people may support the Court and favor its decisions, but it still needs to be packed with a liberal majority.
Harris and Buttigieg consider trashing the Supreme Court to be a small price to pay for their own election.
FACE IT – the Democrats have resorted to “Anything-Goes” in order to keep the brand alive.
It is 86 days or 2 months, 25 days until November 3rd 2026 Midterm Election Day.
Packing SCOTUS is not intended to serve the public interest for the betterment of the country. It’s purely about enacting laws in violation of the Constitution and to the detriment of public welfare. It’s goal is to make permanent their power. It is backed by both the DNC and DSA. I read a quote in JT’s “Rage and the Republic” that said to the effect that when a leader’s actions run consistently contrary to the welfare of the governed that they no longer owe loyalty to that leader. In such a case revolution is justified. The Democrat party whichever faction assumes control is the threat to our democratic, capitalist republic that has defended our freedom, security and prosperity since it’s founding. That is what is at stake now.
THIS IS WAR!
This is an existential threat to the essence of America.
These communists are the enemy; they are engaged in subversion and insurrection.
They are the antithesis—the direct and mortal enemies of the American thesis of freedom and self-reliance, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, actual patriotic Americans, and America.
They must be summarily denaturalized, deported, and prosecuted for un-American activities, treason, and espionage.
My opinion of SCOTUS has gone up considerably in the last decade. What I hated most was the almost religious devotion to Stare Decisis, the stubborn reluctance to revisit wrongly decided past rulings that were clearly influenced far more by personal politics than the Constitution, especially where new rights were conjured out of thin air (or a body orifice). When there is no constitutional basis for a decision on a deeply dividing issue, SCOTUS needs to leave the politics to the political institutions.
The judges on the supreme court for my (deep-blue) state are elected by popular vote, and the decisions have been horrible. In recent years in particular, the state legislature has passed laws that blatantly violate the state constitution, knowing that the state supreme court will “defer to their judgement”.
A bit off topic, there is a recent video that captures the essence of what passes for an impartial judge in my state (search YouTube for “Unhinged activist judge exposed by Brandi Kruse”, video id N6oPY4dzBqY. Background: the state legislature has been trying for years to diminish citizen ballot initiatives, especially initiatives that cut taxes; their most recent attempt is requiring the inclusion of a “sabotage sentence” in the ballot title, to the effect that any tax cut will starve children, etc. Some recent polling has shown that such sabotage sentences are effectively the kiss of death for a ballot initiative.

Kamala Harris is a moron that’s trying to maintain some kind of political relevance, it’s not going to work.
So true. And after 1789, morons were allowed to vote. Therein lies the problem. Democracy has been of the restricted-vote variety since inception in Greece in 508 B.C. The Founders imposed the restricted vote by state legislatures to preclude any “dictatorship of the majority” or “dictatorship of the poor.”
She needs to go back to promoting tax-deductible donations to bail criminals out of jail before trial.
Americans don’t pay attention or read SCOTUS decisions to have an informed decision. They only know what the meds tells them, so the polls are a measure of the media not the people.
Maybe you don’t
It’s not the SCOTUS decision that matters. It’s the Constitution and Bill of Rights that matter. The SCOTUS has been “interpreting,” modifying, amending, and corrupting the Constitution from the outset. Primarily, the absolute essential right to private property has been shredded by the SCOTUS, and the right to private property is what first differentiates America from communism. The SCOTUS must be corrected forthwith and with extreme prejudice.
Has anyone needed to deal with a slightly senile relative who is convinced that Uncle Harry is still alive and living in the attic? I think we are at that stage with this slightly mis-firing brain connected to an old Poll with the lack of awareness that her time has gone but the dems keep using her as a shill for easy votes.
It’s hard to tell whether you might be referring to Hillary or Jill Biden.
This is a great country, despite it faults
It WAS a great country as established by the Founders in 1789!
The entire communist American welfare state is unconstitutional, including, but not limited to, admissions affirmative action, grade-inflation affirmative action, employment affirmative action, quotas, welfare, food stamps, minimum wage, rent control, social services, forced busing, public housing, utility subsidies, CRT, DEI, WIC, SNAP, TANF, HAMP, HARP, TARP, PBS, NPR, Fed, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Environmental Protection Agency, Agriculture, Education, Labor, Energy, Obamacare, Social Security, Social Security Disability, Social Security Supplemental Income, Medicare, Medicaid, “Fair Housing” laws, “Non-Discrimination” laws, etc.
Article 1, Section 8, provides Congress the power to tax for ONLY debt, defense, and “general Welfare”—ALL or THE WHOLE WELL PROCEED through governmental provision of security and basic infrastructure—omitting and, thereby, excluding any power to tax for individual Welfare, specific Welfare, particular Welfare, favor, or charity. The same Article enumerates and provides Congress the power to regulate ONLY “the Value of money,” “Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes,” and “land and naval Forces.”
Further, the 5th Amendment right to private property was initially qualified by the Framers and is, therefore, absolute, allowing no further qualification and allowing ONLY the owner the power to “claim and exercise” dominion over private property.
Government exists, under the Constitution and Bill of Rights, to provide maximal freedom to individuals, while government is severely limited and restricted to facilitating that maximal freedom of individuals through the provision of security and basic infrastructure.
The Necessary and Proper Clause is nothing more than a perfunctory redundancy for the purposes of clarification—a reinforcement of that which was previously codified—and may not be wielded to amend and impose separate acts that do not represent but alter the letter and spirit of the Founders and Framers.
Karl Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto 59 years after the adoption of the Constitution because none of the principles of the Communist Manifesto were in the Constitution. Had the principles of the Communist Manifesto been in the Constitution, Karl Marx would have had no reason to write the Communist Manifesto. The principles of the Communist Manifesto were not in the Constitution then, and the principles of the Communist Manifesto are not in the Constitution now.
As I stated yesterday, there is a difference between the far leftists aka the DSA and the Democrat party. Unfortunately, establishment Democrats think they can ride the DSA tiger and tame it to win elections. It appears the tiger is turning on them and is going to devour them.
Some Democrats are waking up to this situation and calling their party out, I’m a longtime Democrat — fighting for GOP’s Mike Rogers, and my party’s soul, in Michigan

perhaps there are just too many Jews in the USA
Typical lib.. I guess you have a few pictures of Hitler
Demographic data show that Jewish Americans make up about 2.4% of the U.S. population. Data from Pew Research shows that nearly 60% of Jewish adults hold a college degree and nearly 30% hold a postgraduate degree, roughly double the national average. This high representation in higher education and the professions reflects long-standing cultural values centered around education, not an unfair advantage.
What you seem to be saying is that those who have college degrees are to be held in higher regard than those who do not.
However, as everybody here knows, the sole purpose of higher education is too turn out extreme leftists and communists who will work to subvert American society. We all know, as Turley has exhaustively documented, that colleges and universities are controlled by extreme leftist ideologues intent on indoctrinating their students with socialist and communist philosophy. They are nothing more than dens of inequity and, as many here believe, should at minimum be deprived of any government funding, if not completely shut down and abolished.
So when you say that Jews are overrepresented in higher education and the professions, what you are really saying is that Jews are a greater danger to American society because they have quite clearly been indoctrinated with extreme leftist and communist views.
“What you seem to be saying is that those who have college degrees are to be held in higher regard than those who do not.”
Where did I say that? I will say that, culturally, the Jewish people place a high emphasis on education and the work ethic. You are correct that colleges today use youthful attitudes to subvert them to the dungeons of the left, but that might be changing, or at least I hope that is so.
There are Jews who are conservative, libertarian, and classical liberals; you are speaking to one. Then we have non-Jews who claim they are on the right, but a lot of them, like many on the left, have Nazi or Fascist sympathies and do not understand the Constitution and how it protects minority voices; you are one and a much greater threat to America.
Wait just a minute here.
You claim that Jews place a higher emphasis on education and the work ethic. You state that this explains why Jews are overrepresented in higher education and the professions.
But then you state that “colleges today use youthful attitudes to subvert them to the dungeons of the left”. And then you state that you “hope” that this may be changing. But according to Turley and others here, this situation is getting worse, and leftist ideology is becoming more rampant in higher education. So where do you get this “hope” from. It appears to be misplaced.
By your own admission, colleges are subverting students, and according to Turley this is a long standing problem. So how then can Jews who supposedly value education be willing to subject themselves to this tyranny of the left?
Here’s the problem with your argument. You agree that higher education is “subverting people to the dungeons of the left”. You also state that Jews are overrepresented in colleges and universities because they value education. But if the institutes of higher education are providing nothing more than leftist indoctrination, as Turley has exhaustively documented, then Jews must value this leftist indoctrination. If they do not value this indoctrination, they would not attend colleges, and therefore they would not be overrepresented.
You can’t have it both ways. You can’t claim that higher education has been taken over by leftists who subvert the education process, and then claim that Jews value this corrupted form of education.
Or perhaps the higher education system is perfectly fine and provides Jews and others with high quality education, and the claims that they are nothing more than leftist indoctrination camps are total bullsh*t.
Sigmund the Fraud, though you cloak your ideology, your signature voice is loud and clear: false dichotomies, Sealioning, pseudo-reaction promotion, and more petty, disorganized, stupid logic put together in a lengthy argument that randomly weaves all over the place and ends nowhere. This is inanity at the highest level.
I will respond briefly to one point which demonstrates your lack of intellectual ability. You conflate utilitarian professional credentialing with political endorsement. I don’t object to your graduating with a degree in underwater basketweaving, and then recognizing you had no marketable skills, retreating to mowing lawns. But you should recognize that some go to universities to develop skills to further their careers in the professions, engineering, etc. They need specialized skills, while all you needed to learn was how to push the lawnmower back and forth.
Final Grade: Illogical Illiterate, Pseudo-Intellectual Mountebank, and Babbling Baffoon.
Again, Sigmund the Fraud ran away. Grass grows quickly in the summer, so he must be mowing lawns.
Final Grade: Illogical Illiterate, Pseudo-Intellectual Mountebank, and Babbling Baffoon.
“What you seem to be saying is that those who have college degrees are to be held in higher regard than those who do not.”
No what he is observing is that Jews have IQ’s about 1 std dev higher than average.
Really?
Is that what Meyer said?
Did you actually read what he said? If you did read it, you completely failed to comprehend his comment.
I see no mention of IQ in his comment. He simply said that Jews are overrepresented in higher education and the professions. But many here, including you, have agreed with Turley’s exhaustive analysis of how institutes of higher education are completely dominated by radical leftists and are nothing more than indoctrination camps of socialist ideology designed to subvert American society.
The only logical conclusion is that Jews are therefore overrepresented in those leftist organizations that are intent on subverting American society.
And if Jews have a higher IQ, then they obviously would recognize colleges for what they are as leftist indoctrination camps, and would avoid such dens of inequity. If Jews are in fact overrepresented in higher education, then obviously they fail to recognize this reality of the socialist control of colleges, and therefore they cannot possibly have a higher IQ.
Either that, or Turley and you and all the others here are simply blowing smoke about socialist control of higher education.
You can’t have it both ways.
democrat voters hate America
Got it!
Time to Abolish the Democrat Party for THEIR 2nd Civil War!
The fact that so many Democrats call for the complete destruction of the most successful republican democracy in human history in favor of mob rule is the most shocking aspect of this debate. Leftwing dictators used popularism and mob rule throughout history to seize absolute power, and Democrats are trying to do that, too, believing that it is they who will be sitting at the top of the poliltical pyramid.
What would be the result if the Democratic Socialists packed the court? It would lose all legitimacy and likely a significant number of states would announce that they no longer believe the SCOTUS to be legitimate. After such a statement they would also announce that they will not follow or adhere to any decision made by such a “packed court”. I’m quite sure that the DSA would realize that those states will resist any such decision coming from SCOTUS and it would cease to exist in any meaningful manner. Packing the court only requires a change in law and signed by the president but eliminating the senate or the presidency would, of course, require a 2/3 vote of each chamber and 3/4 of the states to agree. So I am sure they know that will never happen. So they must be thinking of an alternate process like a coup.
The red states would never accept a “packed court” even if done legally. Or the other DSA plans. So, once again, what are their real plans?
The DSA court packing … obviously they do not care about legitimacy, or the states opinions. The goal is to destabilize the union. Those states that would recognize the new court need only use SC decisions to expand their local power. In 10… 20 years the USA will no longer exist. Time for a civil war then eh? So dust off your musket GEB.
Your analysis is very good. It truly makes one wonder
My guess is they figure a Civil War is inevitable so why not provoke it.
Kirk murdered, several attempted DJT assassinations, children murdered AND YOU HAVEN’T BEEN PROVOKED?
“. . . eliminating the senate or the presidency would, of course, require a 2/3 vote of each chamber and 3/4 of the states to agree. “So I am sure they know that will never happen ”
What makes you think that Marxist revolutionaries would abide by a Constitution that they reject?
The Democratic National Communists and the Democratic Socialist of America cannot have full rule and replace the Constitutional Republic form of Government without full control of the Judicial Branch first!!!!!!
Kamala displays yet another manifestation of DEIers: Not enough sense to realize when they are no longer relevant.
Harris is hardly as stupid as you want to believe. But as you state, she’s no longer relevant, what she is in fact doing is trying to become relevant.
keep in mind the political offices she held, you think a complete idiot could have managed that?
Well do you consider the evidence right in your face that she’s a ‘climber’. I have a lot of proof for you that the leftys exclusively elect complete idiots.
Proof? So where is it then?
For 1 Willie Brown the speaker and power broker of the Democratic house in the state of California.
The quality of the candidate doesn’t matter to the Dems as they know the machine will rule and that is what they seek, control of the Democrat machine. They may just get it too as how many voters pay any attention to this?
“Harris is hardly as stupid as you want to believe. But as you state, she’s no longer relevant, what she is in fact doing is trying to become relevant.
keep in mind the political offices she held, you think a complete idiot could have managed that?”
Either you have never been exposed to DEI, do not understand it or profit by it. The answer to your question is, unequivocally, YES!
I guess they forgot. She was moved into power. Not because of her smarts. Ask Mr Brown.
The case can be readily made kumswallah is actually dumber than he thinks she is… she literally is dumber than joey briben.
She blew thru how much cash and got no-where, That is not smart thinking.
Harris is so “yesterday,” as the kids say. And Pothole Pete panders to anyone who will listen. It’s educational and fascinating to watch career politicians selling their souls to remain popular. They remind me of the old saying about someone feeding fish to the alligator hoping he’ll eat them last. We now see the logic of Biden’s open borders strategy. He certainly didn’t know it but those who were operating the strings behind him used him usefully as a useless idiot. Mobs are needed to catch the attention of the public and the media and what better can one do than recruit foreign mobs to join the “revolution.” There are enough Americans left to give these hooligans a good shock this November. ICE is their biggest threat because it can diminish the mobs and has done so already in large numbers. The faculty lounge clowns, likewise, are a dying breed, as their prognostications come to nil. Speaking of clowns, the Democrats trying to hold on to their careers claim, when asked, that the DSA people are OK, that the Democrat party is a “Big Tent.” Barnum & Bailey also had a big tent…and it was full of clowns. The more things change, the more they remain the same!
Is there a point in there somewhere, anywhere?
Reading is fundamental. The point is your ‘big tent’ is full of clowns. I blame the teachers union for this so that you may remain feeling a victim.
Reading? What about comprehension, you missed that point? So you understood that muck? Clown you say?
More and more I’m impressed with the founding fathers’ creation of our separation of powers governance. They seemed to fully understand the nature of power and the consequences of power concentration.
The current Democrats, however, seem to have rejected that and desires to concentrate all power within Congress itself. Packing the court is effectively eliminating the court’s independence. Eliminating the Presidency and the Senate goes farther still. Buttigieg and Harris are followers, not leaders, perfect for a castrated Presidency – like Biden. Even within their party, we see a concentration of power, also reflective of their national goals.
concentrate all power within Congress = politburo. They’re on to something.
“[T]he far left knows that the full agenda of changes that it wants to make to our constitutional system cannot occur without control of the Supreme Court.” (JT)
If the DSA gets its way, America will no longer have a Supreme Court. That crucial check on government power will be replaced with a “policy court” — a panel of “policy judges” appointed by and answerable to a *single* legislative body, whose sole purpose is to enforce party doctrine. That is called a politburo, which is a key feature of a communist form of government. That is not a government of laws. That is a government of men.
In substance and in form, the Left’s vanguard is not socialist. It is thorough going communist.
To make changes to the “Constitutional system” need to be done by a majority of congress and the states. You know that – right?
Of the 500,000 electable positions in this country, how many does the DSA have? Go on, search it. Tip: two hands.
“. . . by a *majority* of congress and the states. You know that – right?” (emphasis added)
No, I didn’t know that. Because the Constitution does not require a majority. Consistent with that ignorance is your grasp about how such revolutionaries operate.
“. . . how many does the DSA have?”
Useful idiots have zero concept of the future. When you let a small wound fester, the body dies.
In 1903, Lenin (the DSA’s model for their “reimagining”) started with 33. By the time of the communist take over in 1917, he had some 200,000. Further, the DSA couldn’t care less about a dog catcher in Iowa. It’s primarily after the centerpiece of political power — the federal government.
Oh Sam stop being a Karen. Every time someone responds to one of your comments, you lose it.
Sam you got slapped down. Take it like a man.
Packing the Court is a GREAT Idea!! So great, why wait?? Do it now! Trump should nominate about 100 new Associate Justices, and get then slammed through next month! I mean, I’m sure that the people who want to expand the court aren’t wanting that foe purely partisan motives, right? So, if an expanded Court is really good for America, then delaying would obviously hurt America in the short term. Pack the Court NOW!!
Sounds great, what’s the plan man?
lol. ouch
The point is that only violent revolution can completely overthrow this system. Ch a ages like elimination of the Senate and how the president is chosen will require a 2/3 vote of congress and 3/4 of the states. Further any move at violent revolution will be a steep hill to climb. A vast majority of gun owners live in rural areas. Most of them own multiple firearms. So even those rural residents who dont own firearms will have access to them.
Additionally the cities will get mighty hungry.
“The point is that only violent revolution can completely overthrow this system.”
That is inaccurate.
There is such a thing as a bloodless revolution. Among many others, see Hitler’s rise to power.
I know I’m not the first person to suggest this, but I think President Trump should give her what she and other liberals want: assuming the GOP retains control of the Senate after the midterms, Trump should immediately nominate four conservative justices for SCOTUS.
Not without congress. Assuming? MAGA is in its death throes.
The House of Representatives is irrelevant when it comes to POTUS nominations. Only The Senate has a role to play in the confirmation process
Where is Rodney King when we need him. . . .”Can’t we all get along”?
The liberal left wants to control everything, as if they were the anointed rulers of the world.
The conservative right wants to control everything, as if they were the anointed rulers of the world. Fixed it!
You just cannot handle trademarked American-style freedom pal. Well get used to it Mr. ‘Central control of the means of production’.
Like all polling, it depends on how the questions are framed. I could make a poll showing a selected number of views of Hitler was favored by most. The court has already been packed down thru the federal courts. It’s how you get Presidential immunity which will haunt us for decades if not centuries. I see there was no question about presidential immunity or partisan gerrymandering.
Hate to be “that guy” but if DJT weren’t such a colossal train wreck we wouldn’t have to worry about the insane proposals coming from the Dems. But he is—and then some—and we’re going to find out that these aren’t just proposals… They’re a blueprint for revenge. Not upon MAGA types but upon America. It’s not going to be pretty.
My sole remaining hope is that JD Vance is the incumbent president in 2028. Hope, and prayer. Not that I think Vance is the Second Coming but that as an incumbent he’ll have the best chance of winning.
Rubio
the left wish they had even one candidate choice that has any chance, we have many!
Train wreck? The USA in its entirety is a train wreck. Since way back.
Trump hasn’t done anything different than what others Presidents have done – amass power for a political agenda.
However no other president has ever had to deal with social media at its present scale.
Give an idiot a social media account, and what do you get?
There’s nothing social about social media.
Nope. The lefts framing of the current status of the USA is tainted by massive TDS. The truth is you can’t handle the current awesome state of affairs all thanks to Trump! November will be the death knell of the democrat party and the DSA will be left as the violent wing of the party.
Anyone can make a poll. And then try and convince people its legitimate. Its all poppycock.
Its not over until its over.
SCOTUS legislates…
You do not know what Presidential immunity means.
Swing and a miss enigMaaa! slipping. focus. think!
