I see. So you live in Europe and your goal is not to learn how the US Constitution stipulates that Congress, not POTUS, determines the number of justices, but to spread misinformation in the US, presumably with the goal of creating political division.
Who decides how many Justices are on the Court? Have there always been nine?
The Constitution places the power to determine the number of Justices in the hands of Congress. The first Judiciary Act, passed in 1789, set the number of Justices at six, one Chief Justice and five Associates. Over the years Congress has passed various acts to change this number, fluctuating from a low of five to a high of ten. The Judiciary Act of 1869 fixed the number of Justices at nine and no subsequent change to the number of Justices has occurred.
So you live in Europe and your goal is (…) to spread misinformation in the US, presumably with the goal of creating political division
Absolutely not. Cool it with the bigoted snap judgments, please.
Congress, not POTUS, determines the number of justices
So when there’s something necessary that he refuses to do, you’re going to pretend that his urging does nothing, making him powerless to influence Congress?
I bet you don’t give him credit for any of his signature bills that Congress passed either, right? Right??
What “arguments”? This isn’t a debate. I’m not trying to convince anyone of a political view like you are. I’m debunking your misinformation with the fact that only the Congress can change the number of Supreme Court justices, through legislation, including links to sources–but anyone can simply read Article 3 Section 1 of the Constitution and the history of how Congress set up the courts to understand that this is the case.
The fact that you keep insisting falsely that Biden could have done it himself shows that you have a political agenda. The fact that you aren’t from the US and keep repeating a false, divisive talking point in spite of it being disproven shows that you have a political agenda. We aren’t falling for it. Go back to twitter and FB where you’ll find more gullible marks to buy your propaganda.
No, it literally was not. Again, POTUS is not an emperor! Congress has to do it by passing legislation.
Yeah, all that link gives me is an obvious lie. Not the best sign as to the truthfulness of the actual article…

Do you claim to be a United States citizen?
Nope. That doesn’t mean that I’m some shady operative spreading misinformation to destabilize American democracy like you’re insinuating, though.
That’s just you trying to use bigotry to prop up your bad arguments.

That pretty much says in a very loud voice that the EU wants trump bsck
Nope, this is the choice of the site and has nothing to do with the content of the article.
It’s them choosing that they’d rather ban the entire EU than follow common sense pro-consumer cookie regulations.
Most of the EU is actually to the LEFT of Biden, let alone a literal fascist like Trump.
