    Ted Cruz Retweeted Norman Ornstein

    It’s a shame to see AEI scholar regurgitating left-wing talking points that are demonstrably false. The GOP had both Houses of Congress in 2017. We COULD have tried to pack the Court if we wanted to. But we DIDN’T—nobody even suggested it—because it would destroy the judiciary.https://twitter.com/NormOrnstein/status/1318237412376645638 …

    A little thought exercise: Obama fills the Scalia vacancy. The Court begins to reconsider voting rights, campaign finance. Odds that Ted Cruz, McConnell, lead an effort in 2017-18 to enlarge the size of the Supreme Court? My guess: 100%

        2/x And, as Norm knows well: Filling vacancies is not “packing the Court.” The Senate’s Advice & Consent (confirming or not confirming individual nominees) is not “packing the Court.” What FDR tried & Biden plans to do—expanding the number of Justices—IS “packing the Court.”

        Thanks to a new precedents set by the Trump administration, people don’t have to follow subpoenas.

        You couldn’t even keep your central promise to “repeal and replace” Obamacare. Over a decade later, we still don’t know what the “replace” is supposed to look like.
