When the court is destroyed by a president that demands that the justices will be controlled by him and a party, it's a court that no longer has value

Politicize a court, expect judges to be treated like politicians.

What Trump did was no different than every other president, democrat or republican, that had a pick to make for Scotus.

The difference was he had 3 picks, since Ginsburg didn’t retire under Obama which would have been the safe thing to do.  Stupidly, she wanted to retire during Hilary’s first term, which never happened.

She made that decision at 82 or so, long past the age that she should have.  That’s not Trump’s fault.

I would also point out that the thread title makes a silly assumption.  “…the president demands that the justices be controlled by him and a party…”

It’s actually impossible for Trump, or any other president to make such a demand.  Many past Justices, including Roberts(whenever it suits his fancy), have switched sides after getting on the bench.  

It’s actually a long held tradition, a contest for “sleeper” justices to appear one way in their career in hopes of getting a high court in which they can surprise the other side of the aisle with liberal or conservative  philosophy.

Edit:  And no, I’m not saying it’s commonplace.  It takes a devious mind on a level that puts its agenda ahead of ethics or anything else.

FIRST ,ONE OF THE HATE NAZI SUPREME COURT JUSTICES HAS TO BE IMPEACHED, THEN BURY THE REST OF TRUMPS HATE NAZI JUDGES UNDER JUDGES SELECTED BY BIDEN. They have increased the justices number many times in the past, this will be just another increase in the number of judges, no big deal. Trim the scum.

Fucking hilarious.

jbander...you're in rare form today. "NAZI SUPREME COURT"??? Wow...and I assume you'd like to impeach Kavenaugh?

You're not playing with a full deck...are you.
