Alan Dershowitz: Packing Supreme Court Would be a ‘Disaster’ for the Court, Due Process, Free Speech

  (legalinsurrection.com)

“If the Democrats get a chance to pack the court, they’ll pack it with radical opponents of free speech and due process, people who call themselves progressives but are really regressives”

Dershowitz to Newsmax TV: ‘Disaster’ to Add More Supreme Court Justices

. . . "It would be a “disaster for the Supreme Court” if a Democrat bill to add four more justices to the bench is approved, Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz said on Newsmax TV Saturday.

“ 'It would be a disaster for the Supreme Court and it would be a disaster for freedom of speech and due process,” Dershowitz said on Newsmax TV’s “Saturday Report.” “If the Democrats get a chance to pack the court, they’ll pack it with radical opponents of free speech and due process, people who call themselves progressives but are really regressives.”…

"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said she does not favor the expansion, but Dershowitz pointed out Saturday that in her comments, she said that times have changed and there may still be regional and other considerations that require expanding the number of justices.

“ 'That’s total nonsense,” Dershowitz said. “The Supreme Court is the most underworked institution in the American government. They decide fewer than 100 cases a year. They have four or five law clerks each and they don’t work all that hard.”

"He added that there is no real reason to expand the number of justices, except to add people who are the “ideological” match of people like Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., in the court."

CNN's Brian Stelter Confronted Over Bombshell Videos Exposing Network's 'Propaganda'

Far-left CNN host grilled by Project Veritas reporter


"CNN’s Brian Stelter was confronted by Project Veritas reporter over the recent bombshell series of undercover videos exposing the "propaganda" agenda at the far-left "news" network.

"The explosive videos show a CNN director telling an undercover reporter that the network worked to get rid of President Donald Trump.

"He also boasted that CNN creates “propaganda” and smears people who are a "problem for the Democratic Party."

"Despite being the host of CNN’s “Reliable Sources” show, which "examines how journalists do their jobs and how the media affect the stories they cover," Brian Stelter didn’t seem too interested in speaking with a Project Veritas reporter about the recent exposé." . . .

The tyrannical transformation of America -

With the three branches of the federal government in radical woke hands, the Constitution would become the plaything of the totalitarians.  Gone would be the traditional concept of free speech; and with it, the media would, like corporate America, continue as handmaidens of wokeness. 


American Thinker  "Democrats seek an increase membership on the Supreme Court of the United States from nine to 13.  At present, the high court is divided among 6 Republican appointees and three Democrat appointees.   The four additional justices, presumably to be named by Biden, would change the divide to 7 Democrat appointees and 6 Republicans.   But considering the drift of Chief Justice John Roberts toward the liberal clique, the actual division on the high court is five conservatives and four liberals.  Thus, the Democrat plan to add four justices to the Supreme Court reflects overkill, arguably." . . .

. . . "To borrow a phrase used by. the late Yale law professor Alexander Bickel, in having achieved total domination of White House and Congress, by however slight a margin, the left is moving to "kick over the traces" to transform the country into a one-party state.  A Supreme Court in radical woke hands would complete the governance trifecta -- legislative, executive and judicial branches of the federal government in radical woke hands.

"What legislation would be beyond the bounds of radical woke tyranny?" . . .
