A majority of Democrats — 53 percent — support abolishing the Supreme Court in favor of a “democratically elected” court, according to a new poll.However, 53 percent of all likely voters oppose abolishing the high court, the poll by the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports found.

While 64 percent of Democrats also supported expanding the Supreme Court from nine seats to 13 seats, 51 percent of all likely voters opposed such an expansion. 

Thirty-nine percent of Democrats supported a proposal for “a constitutional amendment that would give the United Nations the authority to reverse U.S. Supreme Court decisions that U.N. members believe violate human rights.” Just 29 percent of all likely voters and 17 percent of Republicans supported the proposal.

The survey of 1,025 likely voters was performed between July 6 and 7 comes just weeks after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

The Court’s decision to overturn Roe has renewed Democrats’ calls to pack the Court.

Democratic National Committee chairman Jaime Harrison claimed the Supreme Court is “illegitimate” after the ruling was handed down. While Harrison did not explain what makes the Court “illegitimate,” progressives have leveled the charge against the Court since Republicans refused to hold a confirmation hearing for former President Obama’s nominee Merrick Garland in 2016. GOP leaders argued then that it would not be in the interest of Americans to appoint a justice in an election year.

Democrats grew particularly incensed in 2020, when Republicans chose to move forward with confirmation hearings for Justice Amy Coney Barrett just weeks before the presidential election.

However, despite Democratic assertions that the decision to overturn Roe would erode trust in Court as an institution, the new poll found that 52 percent of all likely voters had either a “very favorable” or “somewhat favorable” opinion of the Court.

By contrast, just 33 percent of Democrats had a very or somewhat favorable view of the Court. Fifty-six percent of Democrats agreed that the Court is “fundamentally racist, while 67 percent of Democrats said the Court is “fundamentally sexist.”

“A clear majority of likely voters holds a favorable opinion of our highest legal body, rejects the notion that it is inherently racist or sexist, and supports its current institutional characteristics that favor impartiality and independence,” Jack McPherrin, research editor at the Heartland Institute, said in a press release announcing the poll results.

The poll results come months after a commission formed by President Biden to study potential reforms to the U.S. Supreme Court sent a nearly 300-page report to the president taking no position on Court-packing. The report offered arguments for and against Court-packing, judicial term limits and other matters related to the high Court, but does not provide any recommendations.

“Given the size and nature of the Commission and the complexity of the issues addressed, individual members of the Commission would have written the Report with different emphases and approaches,” the report’s summary said. “But the Commission submits this Report today in the belief that it represents a fair and constructive treatment of the complex and often highly controversial issues it was charged with examining.”

The report noted that “no serious person, in either major political party, suggests court packing as a means of overturning disliked Supreme Court decisions, whether the decision in question is Roe v. Wade or Citizens United.”

Of course they do, when they lose, they try to change the rules😒

[Synopsis]

      

 

All goes to show the Leftist, Progressive, Liberal, Communist, Socialist, Fascist, AND Nazist complete hatred and disregard for The Constitution Of The United States Of America.

 

No more hiding.

 

The Leftist, Progressive, Liberal, Communist, Socialist, Fascist, AND Nazist MUST be addressed at EVERY level AND instance.

 

Issues like this are why I am compelled to stand and address the subterfuge of Leftist, Progressive, Liberal, Communist, Socialist, Fascist, AND Nazist.

 

Regarding Roe vs. Wade...................................

 

So, some "contemporaries" want to "neutralize" THEIR "gonads" to protest the recent Supreme Court ruling.

 

      

 

There is strong evidence to note life begins at conception. My belief is the infusion of the soul occurs at the point of conception. The unborn fetus is a human being with rights as any other human being and MUST be treated as such.

 

So, say for instance abortion is allowed to stand that is a genocidal act and a Crime Against Humanity.

 

Where does it stop?

 

Euthanasia?

 

Too many Baby Boomers so the "necessary" "culling" MUST "occur"???!!!

 

THEN..............................

 

The handicapped, mentally impaired, debilitated, AND other undesirables SUCH AS POLITICAL "dissidents"???!!!

 

Nazi Germany in the 1930s AND 1940s.

 

Do we want THIS???!!!

 

Well, we see where the Democratic Party wants to lead EVERY The United States Of America Citizen.

 

Down the road of Globalism.

 

Snuffing LIBERTY.

 

Snuffing The Constitution Of The United States Of America AND The RATIFIED Bill Of Rights.

 

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

 

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

 

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.

 

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

 

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:

 

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

ALL characteristics of the Democrat Party to reintroduce the things True The United States Of America Patriots fought AGAINST as noted as grievances in The United States Of America Declaration Of Independence.

 

The Democrat Party is generally and widely a Political Party made of Leftist, Progressive, Liberal, Communist, Socialist, Fascist, AND Nazist TRAITORS AND MUST BE DEFENDED AGAINST AND DEFEATED!!!

With All Due AND Sincere Respect, Sage449, I know NOT one Democrat Party Official AND their "base" who has a conscience ESPECIALLY with regard to The Constitution Of The United States Of America TO INCLUDE The Ratified Bill Of Rights.

 

Ronald Reagan understood the Democrat Party AND not only noted accordingly, chose AND Acted Accordingly.

 

 

A mere 1/2 hour of timeless and irrefutable information.

 

The Democrat Party has NOT changed AND NEVER will.
