On Thursday, Democrats in the U.S. House and Senate plan to unveil legislation to expand the size of the Supreme Court, potentially reversing the originalist gains under former President Donald Trump.
The bill would add four seats to the Court, bringing the total from nine to 13, sources told The Intercept. Congress has the authority to set the number of justices on the Court, which has remained at 9 since 1869.

Dem bill to stack the court coming tomorrow, destroying our Constitution
Democrats plan to stack the court and are going from nine justices to 13 with four new Democrat Justices to rubber-stamp their decisions. Since the Supreme Court is the only body that protects our civil rights, we can be certain our freedoms and civil rights will be stripped away.
The additional justices will only make the Court another legislative body for Democrats and will allow them to do anything they want.
The bill, first reported by The Intercept, is expected to be introduced in both the House and Senate on Thursday.

Democrats Plow Ahead With the Dismantling of America
Happy Thursday, my dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. It’s perfectly alright to be on board with almond butter but remain skeptical of almond milk.
LOL at the people in the comments yesterday complaining about the fact that I was writing about CNN’s bias, as if we didn’t know they were biased. Um,
it’s my job to write about media bias. If the people who think I shouldn’t continue do it want to pay my bills, I’ll stop.
Glad we cleared that up.
Our friends in the Democratic Party are at it again. And when I say “it” I mean the wholesale destruction of this once great Republic.
