House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has struggled to pander to the mob to secure power in the midterm elections, including brandishing a baseball bat on social media to show his radical bona fides. With Democratic Socialists chanting “you’re next” when seeing Jeffries, he continues to struggle to stay in front of the mob. This week, he doubled down on his pledge to throw the Supreme Court to the mob if they make him the next Speaker of the House of Representatives.
After the recent gains by far-left candidates in states like Minnesota and the near victory of Democratic Socialist Francesca Hong in Wisconsin, Jeffries came out to reaffirm his intent to radically change the highest court. According to the Washington Times, Jeffries declared, “There’s a variety of different options that are on the table, and I think that we can’t foreclose any single one of them.” He added that the “conservative, right-wing majority on the Supreme Court has become basically a subsidiary of the MAGA Republican Party.”
He promised to make far-left Rep. Jamie Raskin (D., Md.) the driving force behind changing the Court, including possible 18-year term limits for Supreme Court justices and expanding the Court to create an instant liberal majority.
Notably, none of these figures were claiming that the Court was fundamentally flawed until it ruled against them, particularly in cases that impacted their political power such as declaring racial gerrymandering to be unconstitutional.
What is interesting is that the liberal justices reject this narrative, reminding citizens that the Court has delivered major losses to the Trump Administration. Indeed, President Trump has routinely attacked conservative justices for ruling against him and his Administration.
In addition, polls show that the majority of the public supports virtually all of the recent major rulings, including the ban on racial gerrymandering. It is only the Democrats who oppose those rulings and are now demanding a hostile takeover of the Court.
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 as a countermajoritarian institution. However, these polls even challenge the flawed rationale for court packing.
So Jeffries is promising that the work of James Madison will be undone by the likes of Jamie Raskin and Elizabeth Warren. To have these calls on our 250th anniversary is crushingly ironic. Other leading Democrats have lined up to pledge to fundamentally change the Court, which has played a key role in making this the oldest and most stable republic in history.
It is simply about power. Former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder has put packing the Supreme Court front and center, explaining, “[We’re] talking about the acquisition and the use of power if there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028.”
I have called it the Nike School of Constitutional Law. Democratic leaders are pledging to “just do it” to appease the mob. Of course, some of these measures would be challenged if done without constitutional amendment. The Supreme Court would then have to rule on the effort to pack or limit its members. The expansion can be done by legislative vote. Although most Americans oppose court packing, Democrats view control of the Court as essential to pushing through a radical agenda to change the political system to their advantage.
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.
In Federalist 10, Madison discussed the destructive im
pact of factions in forcing through opportunistic changes to advance their interests:
“By a faction, I understand a number of citizens, whether amounting to a majority or a minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adverse to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community.”
We are witnessing the same factional politics being pushed by leaders who believe that they can ride a rage wave into power. They have a greater likelihood of causing lasting damage to our system than guaranteeing their own lasting power. History is not on their side. Today’s revolutionaries are often tomorrow’s reactionaries in an age of rage.

“Team Sports” – not constitutional or democratic governing!
America needs ranked-choice Open Primaries now. One primary election where every voter can rank all candidates (of any political party).
Like horse racing- win, place, show? Las Vegas can run it. It’s transference of votes, mam, sir. It should be illegal.

The Left’s bugaboo of the week — blared throughout the MSM and on social media:
Sailors are suffering from a lack of toothpaste.
But on the issues that matter, crickets: Congressional D’s opposed military spending in July 2026. And did so again in October 2025.
And more crickets when Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal *caused* the death of 13 military members.
The D’s sudden concern for the living conditions and the lives of our military is touching.

Jonathan, There is no-way to ‘fix this thing’, there are so many things wrong with the D.C. Government (Face it like a man).
The systemic problem is that: There is no conceivable system We can All get behind. Amidst the disagreements there is no functional-answer.
This is not “as good as it gets”, and this is not a Democracy, it’s a controlled demolition of Human sacrifice.
The Mercantilists have ‘Merchandised’ the: Legislative Branch (Congressional Representatives), the Executive Branch (Presidency after Presidency0, and has a firm foot in the door of the Judicial Branch (Bench Members). The Supply-Chain of merchandised Politicians and Jurist has been streamlined to feed that Citizenry.
There is no substance or resolve in the Individuals of Government inside. Merchandised Ken & Barbie dolls made to server an agenda that is headed toward the destruction of Mankind. Life has become a commoditized resource of merchandised-packages for the Financial Markets (Globally).
To many People, something has got to give way … in our time.

He is gay, black, 27 years of age, his CV is as unimpressive as Gigi’s IQ, is a convert to Judaism, a proud member of DSA and is running against Debbie Wassermann Schultz. You cant make this up.
He is Elijah Manley, and the DSA has had to move their venue for an upcoming planned event in Broward County three times. Their latest location for the event is a secret – only folks who have RSVP’d have the address. Jews of Ft Lauderdale have accused the DSA as being antisemitic. But he is a Jew. and gay. and black, and his work and life experience are as non-existent as the self-awareness of our resident psychotic-sociopath TDS troll, Gigi / X
If there is one vile Democrat who deserves to lose her Congressional seat that would be Debbie Wassermann Schultz. But to a 27 year old no-nothing, gay antisemitic black DSA “community activist”? Paging Barack Obama!
Maybe Hakeem Jeffries can lend a hand with his bat. But who to bash? Elijah? Debbie? him/her/it-self? Oy vey!
Talk about gay (Jewish?) DSA drama. Only in Fort Lauderdale.
Event featuring democratic socialists in Fort Lauderdale moved after backlash
A social media firestorm spread this week after far-right activist and “#proudislamophobe” Laura Loomer targeted the event on X due to Tlaib’s involvement. In her post on X, Loomer accused Larkin of hating Jewish people. “Why is Rashida doing this? Because Jared Moskowitz is Jewish,” Loomer wrote. State Rep. Michael Gottlieb, a Broward Democrat who is Jewish, also blasted the rally on Facebook on Thursday: “The Venue Fort Lauderdale is hosting an Anti-Israel and Anti-Zionism coalition of candidates, make no mistake this is anti-Jew. This is a coalition of candidates and organizations who are on the strongly pro-Palestinian/anti-Israel left, several of whom have been involved in disputes over where anti-Zionism crosses into antisemitism.”

This post is a textbook example of MAGA media deflection. Let’s rag on Hakeem Jeffries and “court packing” instead of current issues.
REAL media report that sailors aboard the USS Lincoln have been stuck at sea for a historic period of time in recent history without shore leave. They complain of inadequate food, especially fresh food like milk and vegetables, moldy and broken showers, contaminated water, broken toilets, no laundry facilities, and no personal hygiene products, like toothpaste, soap and deodorant.
Family members, friends and charities sent care packages with some of these items, but the US Postal Service refuses to fly planes into the area due to the threat of drones and missiles, so the care packages are sitting around somewhere, undelivered. As a result, there are reports of suicidal ideations and at least 2 attempts—one sailor went overboard and was in the water for about an hour and another was restrained from jumping.
So how did the drunken wife beater Hegseth respond to these concerns? He called the sailors and their families liars. He claims they have plenty of food, everything is in good working order and that the military monitors and provides resources for depression among military personnel. Hegseth denies there are any excess numbers of depressed or suicidal sailors.
So, how did the draft dodger in chief respond to a question about whether the deployment was too long? He said that it wasn’t nearly long enough. Not even a scintilla of empathy for the brave men and women who have more courage and patriotism than he ever had.
According to interviews I saw today, people who haven’t been aboard an aircraft carrier like the Lincoln don’t appreciate just how stressful conditions can be. In addition to round-the-clock work and planes constantly taking off and landing, the never-ending threat of getting hit by a drone or a rocket, and endless maintenance and security work, there is constant noise no matter where your quarters are located and it’s hard to get to sleep and stay asleep. Working under such conditions is very difficult and dangerous even if you are properly fed, have working toilets, showers and laundry facilities and uncontaminated water and personal hygiene items.
Hegseth wants to spend our tax money on testosterone testing and supplements, but he can’t even provide decent food and working conditions for our sailors.
The utter lack of anything resembling empathy or appreciation for the sacrifices of our sailors and the deplorable conditions they are forced to endure is an absolute disgrace. Court packing is not as important, but MAGA media can’t come up with any way to defend Trump and Hegseth other than agreeing that our sailors are liars— and that won’t sit well with the majority of Americans, so they attack Hakeem Jeffries.

This character Estovir claims to be a physician.
However, his comments here uniformly indicate very low breeding, certainly not typical of any physicians that I know.
His claims to be a practicing physician are highly suspect. If he is in fact a physician, and the quality of his care matches the quality of his comments here, then his patients are in serious trouble.
INBRED ANON!!
Perhaps Estovir is a modern embodiment of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
By day a caring physician, and by night a vile, unprincipled, immoral and degenerate reprobate.
He seems to be quite familiar with the activities in West Hollywood. A little too familiar if you ask me. Perhaps this familiarity derives from personal experience.
The above anonymous is Estovir
Estovir is one those hillbillies from “Deliverance” who DREAMS of going to West Hollywood.
Estovir has never claimed to be a physician. He’s alluded to working in the medical profession, mostly presenting microbiology type studies.
You’re not very good at this, perhaps remedial reading comprehension would help you.
Oh — and despite published interviews with family members of sailors on the Lincoln who displayed photos of pathetic looking food servings they sent to their families, Trump said that there were no complaints of inadequate food and hygiene items, unsanitary toilets and showers and no laundry facilities— essentially calling sailors and their families liars. These complaints have been validated by members of Congress who also have heard such complaints from sailors and their families.
Trump’s acting Navy Secretary is trying to blame media— claiming that mainstream media are trying to portray sailors as “victims”. The wife of the sailor who jumped overboard said that he sought help for his emotional problems and was ignored. After he jumped, the Navy did not advise her about his suicide attempt for several days.
What is Trump obsessing about spending our money on now? The golden ballroom that has been enjoined by a federal court Trump’s DOJ is trying to claim that it is necessary for national security. The court that ruled against Trump made clear that the injunction does not apply to the bunker that Trump wants to be constructed under ground, but not the ballroom, which requires an Act of Congress because it substantially changes the aesthetic of the White House property. And, despite Trump’s lie, the cost is about 3 times the $200 million and is not going to be covered by donations. As a temporary tenant Trump does not have the authority to rebuild the White House.
He is also obsessing about catapults, signing an Executive Order to convert the modern electromagnetic catapults to steam powered because some sailor praised the steam powered catapults 10 years ago. That would cost billions and is totally unnecessary and maybe not even feasible.
The rest of the world is watching.
^ This is Gigi. I never read her inane demented drivel ^
If they have photos, why don’t the give them to the MSN?
Of is this just another lie, like all the others.
You reek of stoopidity.
Were you ever in the military? If not, shut up. If yes, you should know better. Life on a combat ship is not the Hilton.
I love these TDS posts of yours. so much crazy in one spot is really entertaining. I LOVE TDS idiots! I love you all. Please demonstrate your TDS for me!! May TDS never go away, I enjoy these screeds like you would not believe! And it’s all because I voted for Trump! I gave you TDS and now it’s fun for me. May your emotional scars from orange man never heal!
This Court Seen As Chained To Constitution
In public opinion polls, majorities of U.S. adults express support for ideas like imposing term and age limits on elected officials, limiting spending on political campaigns, and choosing the president by direct popular vote instead of through the Electoral College.
But few of those ideas are being actively debated. One big reason: They probably would require amending the Constitution, which takes a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress and ratification by three-quarters of the states, or 38 out of 50.
The U.S. Constitution is among the most difficult in the world to amend, and some experts question whether doing so is even possible in today’s fractured political climate. The Constitution has been in effect for 237 years but has been formally amended just 27 times, most recently in 1992.
https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2026/07/28/most-americans-favor-big-changes-to-the-political-system-that-likely-would-require-amending-the-constitution/
……………………………………………
This article gives us insight as to why this court is unpopular. Most Americans want changes that conflict with the.Constitution.
87% Want term limits for Congress.
79% Want age limits for Federal officials.
72% Want limits on campaign donations.
63% Want to abolish the Electoral College.
Therefore a Court that keeps us chained to the 1780s is out of step with the people. And this Court seems to somehow find a 1780s reasoning to every ruling it hands down.
The Founders engineered against the inexorable total destruction of the dictatorship of the majority, that is, the poor.
Nope, the individual. Apparently you are not one?
Why do you hate humans?
This Court Seen As Chained To Constitution
The very definition of the Court’s job. So . . . it’s doing its job correctly. You got anything else, Chinese Communist Party bot?
Only the losers want to change the system that rejects them. Our form of government is top notch as long as the people can keep politicians under their thumb. The left hates the thumb of the people. They are not going to get anywhere within our system so they know they must destroy it. Sorry commie, Our Constitution prevents tyranny. Go try with a weaker people somewhere else.
Genius IQ IslamoCommuNazi Hassan Piker demands that a Palestinian-free Palestine be created with mandatory prayers to Allah-Satan 6x per day and evening. Violators will be beheaded.
The cruel irony in the left’s assault on the Court is that their animus follows from their own failure to enact their preferred policies, generally considered the province of the Legislative Branch. But these days, the Congress of the U.S. is both craven and lazy–impotent but angry–preferring to punt all important policy questions either to the Executive or to the Court. A Congress that was duly exercising its Article I responsibilities would be the political branch that . . . uh . . . made policy. Methinks the Executive and the Court should huddle to find a way to pack the Congress (with members who can actually do their job.)
Too much discussion on both side of the aisle is focused squarely on court packing and age limits.
There are plenty of other historical examples of Congress using its powers as a means of checking the power of the Supreme Court that do not require such drastic measures.
1. The Court’s Calendar – when the Court sits is entirely up to Congress. In 1802, Congress prevented the Court from sitting at all. This is the most aggressive stance, but Congress often tweaked the timing of the Court’s sessions in the 19th Century.
2. Circuit Riding – Congress historically required the justices to spend much of their time in the country, sitting as circuit judges at least once a year in each district within their geographic area. Forcing the justices to spend time on the road limits their ability to take cases.
3. The Docket – For more than the first century, there was no “certiorari” jurisdiction. Congress controlled their docket, and review was previously mandatory. It wasn’t until 1988 that Congress surrender its docket control as a delegation of power to SCOTUS. This power can be reclaimed.
4. The Court’s Budget – Congress can use its power over the budget as a lever. In 2001, Justice Kennedy was grilled by a Rep. Jose Serrano (D-NY) about the Court’s ruling in Bush v. Gore. Congress can force justices to defend controversial rulings in order to receive annual funds.
5. Salaries / Pensions – Congress may not be able to lower comp for justices, but they can use increases as a carrot. Again, Congress surrendered that power in 1937.
6. Court Ethics – Justice Fortas resigned in 1969 following pressure from CJ Warren regarding a “scandal” (very tame by today’s standards) relating to Fortas’s relationship with a sketchy financier. Warren was concerned about the specter of congressional investigations (and potential impeachment).
7. Statutes – Congress can overrule any SCOTUS decision except for those based on constitutional interpretation via statute. At least 100 statutes passed between 1980 and 2000 partially overturned SCOTUS decisions. This occurs much less today.
For a court so focused on history and tradition, the proper response is to revive the history and tradition of true checks and balances on SCOTUS.
This is not advocacy for any particular option above; rather, it is only meant to show that there are plenty of other options on the table.
We must welcome Democrat Party, Sharia, and Communist Law and abandon the outmoded U.S. Constitution. As the IslamoCommuNazi Leader Hasan Piker put it, we must recognize that Luigi Mangione allegedly killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson because he committed “social murder.” This term, invented by Commie Thought Leaders, applies in the Thomson murder because “he had it coming to him” and we must accept this as a justified “social murder” committed on behalf of social justice. We must obey Piker’s ethical and moral principles.
#. Piker is a birthright raised in Istanbul and natural born due to the idiocy of the females on the court. There’s millions of Pikers and hell be the dem candidate. Let those women stew in their own juices and stew they’ll be.
Just a general comment speech patterns. When I was younger driving across the U.S. at night there was a broadcaster who spoke in a very peculiar manner that forced you to pay attention to every word. Then at the what appeared the end he would stop and then say now for the rest of the story. His manner of speaking was riveting because of what he was saying and his manner of delivery forced you to hang on every word.
President Obama phony thoughtful, with pauses thrown in to emphasize his deliberations was irritating and when he was done you realized he never answered a question. Now we have Hakeem Jeffries poor imitation of President Obama bd nobody notices. If you go back a few years he didn’t talk that way.
