    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Brian Beutler

    Saying the quiet part out loud: the purpose of court-packing is specifically to threaten the courts in order to prevent them from exercising independent constitutional judgment.https://twitter.com/brianbeutler/status/1367116476864413697 …

    Brian BeutlerVerified account @brianbeutler
    The tell in nascent Republican attacks against HR1 is the unsupported claim that the legislation is unconstitutional. It’s a signal to loyalists on the bench, and why Dems need to move fast, and at least brandish the threat of expanding the courts. https://twitter.com/Mike_Pence/status/1367088000602157061 …

        I'm not sure people understand quite how many different, drastic changes HR 1 is trying to make to our systems of speech, voting, & elections simultaneously. It's like six different radical, overreaching bills stuffed into a single sausage.

        The anti-free speech provisions of HR 1 present the most glaring constitutional problems, but a federal takeover of state elections & the drawing of Congressional districts presents significant federalism issues as well.

        Some of these are spirit-of-the-Constitution issues, which are properly the job of Congress, not the courts, to decide, but beyond a certain point, Congress can't just abolish state functions that are contemplated by the text & have existed since the Founding.

        Yeah... that's not cool at all. If dems are going to pack the court, they should do so in response to ACB's rushed nomination, not any other reason. The longer they wait, the more people like Beutler will undermine them.

        Replying to @LouisIngenthron @baseballcrank

        God forbid we have automatic voter reg, voter protections, and campaign finance reform. It's not like the constitution says the fed leg has the power...oh wait. Or that the last congress packed the courts after preventing the previous admin from appointing judges...oh wait.

        It's the same mindset behind opposing the Electoral College, ending the filibuster. They think they'll be in power forever.

        Replying to @pronouncedVILE @baseballcrank

        No, they think whoever is in power should be allowed to set the agenda. Though, any R who thinks eliminating the EC is bad for them is giving up the game. I'm not a Dem, parties are trash, but this is all so clearly fearmongering over equitable access. White supremacy in action.

        HR1 addresses: - voter access - election integrity - election security - political spending - ethics for the three branches of gov't. The bill: - expands voter registration & access - limits removing voters from voter rolls. Kryptonite to the GOP. They're panicking. 2/2 pic.twitter.com/V3nlBduzqd
