JONATHAN TURLEY: Trump's victory puts an end to Democrat attacks on one branch of government

 JONATHAN TURLEY: Trump's victory puts an end to Democrat attacks on one branch of government

In 1937, it was said that a critical shift of one justice in a critical case ended the move to pack the Supreme Court by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. It was said that it was "a shift in time saves nine." In 2024, a shift in the Senate may have had the same impact. President-elect Donald Trump's victory this week means that absent a renewal of the court-packing scheme and other extreme measures of the left, the Court will remain unchanged institutionally for at least a decade.
 
The expectation is that Associate Justice Clarence Thomas could use this perfect time to retire and ensure that his seat will be filled with a fellow conservative jurist. Justice Samuel Alito may also consider this a good time for a safe harbor departure. They have a couple of years before they reach the redline for nominations before the next election.

The election means that court-packing schemes are now effectively scuttled despite the support of Democratic senators like Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Sheldon Whitehouse, D., R.I. Given Vice President Kamala Harris's reported support, the Supreme Court dodged one of the greatest threats to its integrity in its history.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I admire Mr. Turley but he's wrong about the attacks.  Commiecrats don't give up just because they can't legally do something.  They, and the media, will attack even more shrilly setting the stage for replacement battles which are likely in the Trump/Vance years.  They will be working to set the stage for the next time they have the power to change the court.

The Left never relents. It never relaxes its pressure against the vessel, particularly where there is the slightest sign of a leak. Their hope is always a rupture to take advantage of, a flood. The Right can scurry to repair the spill but they never are able to put the spill back into the vessel. Meanwhile, the pressure of the Left remains inside the vessel.

That is how the Left gains ground; first a leak, then a flood, always pressure.

Well, ok.
Then what is "the solution" to stopping them...?
