So then the next time the Republicans have both the Senate and White House, would you support an expansion to 17 justices?

No. I like the 9.

Agreed. However, if a Republican were to say something similar, the media and Democrats would be going bat shit crazy about it. Since it’s a Democrat saying it, it’s ok.

Agree with you both.

However, what bothers me the most about her words are the potential consequences they will/may have in Chauvin trial.

“I'll give you that Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned,” Judge Peter Cahill told defense attorney Eric Nelson on Monday.

At this juncture, this is definitely something the whole country could do without. So idiot is an accurate descriptor. Or maybe doesn’t go far enough.

Grocery stores are apparently not a safe space.

Well Biden just one-upped her. Why the hell would he not wait for the verdict to comment publicly on the case?

Made me laugh. Didn't the former guy say "fight like hell" to destroy the certification? Both are morons.

And he was rightly lambasted in the media. However, Waters says something similar and the silence is deafening.

What media do you listen to? It's been widely reported from the WSJ to CNN and every major news outlet.
Just let Google be your friend and you can hear all about it.
