Topic	If the Dems win the POTUS contest and pack the SCOTUS, expect the GOP to respond
Sackgurl 10/27/20 1:54:19 PM #21:	BlingBling22947 posted... you know theyll bounce back why do we know this the incentive to pack the court is that currently the court has five justices who want to let state legislatures upend their own voting systems and ignore the will of the voters packing it would mean preventing this and thereby preventing republican 'bounce back' since when people can vote, they lose kelemvor posted...
