That a THREAT?! AOC goes all sorts of stompy-foot, claims Republicans who 'bullied' Democrats by confirming ACB deserve a 'response'

AOC mad. Real mad.

Expand the court.

Funny, Ed Markey said the same thing yesterday. Ever notice when Democrats don’t get their way the first thing they think about is revenge? They don’t look at themselves or ponder what it could be about their agenda or platform that caused them to LOSE AN ELECTION in the first place. No no, they just want to make the other side PAY.

Hey, don’t take our word for it, look at AOC’s follow-up tweet:

Republicans do this because they don’t believe Dems have the stones to play hardball like they do. And for a long time they’ve been correct. But do not let them bully the public into thinking their bulldozing is normal but a response isn’t. There is a legal process for expansion.

Constitutionally filling a seat on SCOTUS is playing hardball? K.

Change the rules when you don't get your way?

Such babies.

Reid changed the rules that made this possible, if they don’t like it, they should talk to him.

Expand your IQ

Impossible.

So you lost and now, like a child, are pouting because you lost. When are you up for re-election?

It’s funny to watch Democrats react emotionally every time Republicans refuse to do as they say. Why should the court be expanded? For the good of the country, or to teach Republicans a “lesson”? This shit is so predictable…..

How about term limits instead for all three branches of government? Repeal the 17th amendment and cap US Reps at 8 years of service… and Supreme Court justices at 12.

Packing the courts is an idiotic idea that only escalates the extremism of your side.

You really should study and learn from history – you’re pretty off base here.

The left has gone crazy.

Went. They WENT crazy.

Years ago.

The court has been 9 for 200 years, we can live with it being 9 for another 200. It is a Court, not a Legislative body.
