Top members of the Democrat Party erupted on Monday night in response to a majority of U.S. Senators voting to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the nation&#8217;s highest court and threatened to pack the courts for partisan purposes.
Democrats Ilhan Omar and Ocasio-Cortez both immediately called for packing the courts, with AOC tweeting, &#8220;Expand the court.&#8221;
&#8220;Expand the court,&#8221; Omar replied. Omar, who apparently does not understand how U.S. elections work, continued, &#8220;Remember that Republicans have lost 6 of the last 7 popular votes, but have appointed 6 of the last 9 justices. By expanding the court we fix this broken system and have the court better represent the values of the American people.&#8221;
Recent polling has <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/21/amy-coney-barrett-poll-430632">found</a> that the majority of Americans supported confirming Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, with support for her confirmation increasing as the public saw more of her. Conversely, only 28 percent of the public opposed her confirmation and <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/poll-supreme-court-amy-coney-barrett_n_5f90523bc5b686eaaa0d4ad7">only</a> 27 percent support Democrats&#8217; extremist proposal of partisan court packing.

Ocasio-Cortez <a href="https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1320883278476398595">continued</a>, &#8220;Republicans do this because they don’t believe Dems have the stones to play hardball like they do. And for a long time they’ve been correct. But do not let them bully the public into thinking their bulldozing is normal but a response isn’t. There is a legal process for expansion.&#8221;
Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s suggestion was quickly debunked by a wide range of pundits online.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Exactly wrong. Republicans have *finally* played a bit of Dem-style hardball, after decades of one-sided escalations. You’re now demanding the most radical and unpopular one to date. <a href="https://t.co/TWgtqX6EtB">https://t.co/TWgtqX6EtB</a>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Of all the inane bullshit that constantly streams from the blabbering mouths of lying Democrat shills like AOC, perhaps the most inane is the claim that Republicans always play hardball while Democrats meekly comply.

The funniest part about this tweet is that Democrats were first to destroy judicial candidates for mere interpretational disagreement, the first to use the filibuster against judges, and the first to nuke the filibuster against judges&#8230;but she thinks the Republicans started it. <a href="https://t.co/gMqrlAsvjC">https://t.co/gMqrlAsvjC</a>

Democrat vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris made threatening remarks in response to the news, writing on Twitter that Democrats would not forget it.
&#8220;Today Republicans denied the will of the American people by confirming a Supreme Court justice through an illegitimate process,&#8221; Harris claimed, &#8220;all in their effort to gut the Affordable Care Act and strip health care from millions with pre-existing conditions.
Harris added, &#8220;We won’t forget this.&#8221;

Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested on MSNBC that Democrats may pack the Supreme Court and District Courts.

In a statement, Pelosi <a href="https://www.speaker.gov/newsroom/102620-0">claimed</a> that Barrett&#8217;s confirmation was a &#8220;usurped Supreme Court seat,&#8221; and claimed without evidence that President Donald Trump had manipulated the Supreme Court.
Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) told MSNBC that &#8220;everything is on the table&#8221; in response to a question about packing the courts with judges.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) lamented the fact that President Donald Trump has appointed hundreds of federal judges but failed to acknowledge the <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/07/15/how-trump-compares-with-other-recent-presidents-in-appointing-federal-judges/">fact</a> that former President Barack Obama appointed significantly more judges than Trump throughout his two-terms as president.
