Weird Tolkein Figure...
Never heard of cutting back the USSC... how could you cut back sitting justices? USC says they have to be impeached. Sounds like a constitutional crisis in the making.
You should know your history, it might help you.
According to Google:
Yes, the number of justices on the U.S. Supreme Court has been "cut back" (reduced) by Congress multiple times in history.
The size of the Supreme Court has fluctuated since its inception, with Congress using its constitutional power to change the number of justices in response to the needs of the growing nation or for political reasons.
Notable instances of the court's size being reduced:
Judiciary Act of 1801: Reduced the number of justices from six to five, to take effect after the next vacancy. However, this law was repealed before any vacancy occurred.
Judicial Circuits Act of 1866: Reduced the number of justices from ten (its historical high) to seven, in part to prevent President Andrew Johnson from making any appointments. The number of justices temporarily dropped to eight before the court was reset to the current nine in 1869.
The number of justices has remained at nine since the Circuit Judges Act of 1869.
Now while it has been Congress playing with the numbers, it could be successfully argued our Congress is non-functional and not worth a good spit.
Trump could end up a lame duck, I say he should go out blazing, showing down our worthless do nothing Congress. Literally worthless. They abdicate their job daily. DAILY!!!!!!!!!
One of their prime responsibilities is putting an annual budget together. Last year, they delivered a budget 10 months after the start of the fiscal year, and we are still paying these clowns. How about a rule that says, if Congress fails to present a budget one month prior to the start of the fiscal year, they are all forced to face re-election!!! You think these do nothing clowns would be dicking around ten months past the start of the fiscal year? Hell no!!!
I never met a lawyer worth a good BM. No joke, and I have worked with many of them. Their degree gets them elevated to positions they are fully INCAPABLE to perform at. Every last one of them I have worked with. These b*stards conduct insider trading, become rich over night, and that is just fine. Well, it is not fine with me. They are all corrupt, every last one of them. I have zero respect for lawyers, and they control all three branches of government, things are f***ed up beyond recognition, and the passive electorate are worried about surviving to the next day and do not place the blame where it belongs. No, they want ot blame a man in office for months, while the clowns in Congress have been office for decades. Uggh.
And the Democommies have not done anything for the middle class ever that I recall in my 72 years. Nothing! But their empty rhetoric has half the country fooled. We are truly a dumb people in this nation, and I am tired of it.
No wonder so many people when they get older look forward to death, they just can't stand the b*llsh*t any longer!!!!!!!!!
