to the Dems, fundamental restructuring means appointing liberal judges. Ain't going to happen with Trump in office This is a Democrat Red Herring designed to pressure the court. Dick Durbin is a long time Dem hack. Or more like the Democrats publicly issuing a warning to Roberts, “Obama is gone, but we still have the tapes”.

The next presidential election is still all about the Supreme Court. We need more non-liberal justices appointed.
The Supreme Court obviously is foiling the plans of the progressives, and it will for a generation if there are two more conservative appointees. This is the key point the Nevertrumpers just choose to ignore in their angst over Trump's behavior, his Tweets, his willingness to aggressively exchange insults which they all see as "Un-Presidential". The single longest lasting effect any President has these days is court appointments. 8 years of GWB was a helluva lot better for the courts than 8 years of Al Gore followed by 8 years of Obama or HRC. What would 16 years of Democrat appointments have done to ALL the Federal courts? Additionally, tell me what other GOP Presidential possibility would have back Kavanaugh? Rubio? Kasich? Cruz? (maybe, but only only maybe) Most any other GOP President would have bailed on Kavanaugh when the Dems started that crap and brought in somebody more moderate (read: wolf in sheep's clothing) to appease the Dems.

Maybe those Democrats need a bit of a "warning" themselves. Yep, they need to understand the consequences of freedom loving people defending their freedom.

Funniest part to all of this, ok two things:
1) The talk of expanding to 9 to keep from "packing" well that is the very definition of packing. AND they only want it assuming they run the whitehouse and offer up the judges. If Trump, or any R is sitting in white house, talk of expanding would bring up "they are packing" arguments as a bad thing.
2) Politicizing? You bet your sweet ass it's political. But why? Simple, our governemtn made it that way with the way the hearings go. This isn't new. "Borking" is now a verb because of it.
I, for one, am HAPPY Gorsuch has sided with liberals here and there. Shows he's actually THINKING not following political lines. when someone can predict the outcome as 5-4 all the time, that just shows it IS broken, that judges are not thinking openly but following political lines. I can't believe any group of 9 people will consistenly side the same way every time if they are thinking openly and clearly.

Well, so much for the concept of checks and balances based on three branches of government.
This is more proof that the Left regards the Constitution as an impediment to their designs rather than a protection for individual rights. They talk about "rights" all the time, but they want to decide what they are, rather than deal with a pre-determined list that interferes with their power over us. The Framers, realizing that times change, created a mechanism that allows the Constitution to be modified, but wisely made that process cumbersome and difficult so the core principles wouldn't constantly be at risk from political flights of fancy. This drives these control-freak bastards crazy, because they want their New Venezuela now, not later.
Like someone said above, the next election is STILL about the Court, because everything comes down to that in the end. There's no one else who can be counted on to appoint originalist justices but Donald Trump. Just look at what the Bush family wrought with their moderate approach to this. We don't need balance on the Court, we need people who can read and follow clear language.
What fresh Hell is this?

Just my not very humble opinion but the Democrats are getting a bit too damn big for their britches and need to be taken down a a peg or two.  Paul B.
Our forefathers did not politely protest the British.They did not vote them out of office, nor did they impeach the king,march on the capitol or ask permission for their rights. ----------------They just shot them.

Just me, but if I were a appointed for life judge in the highest court of the land, I would issue a Body Attachment for the authors of the letter, send the Marshalls to fetch them, and bring them before the court to explain their threat.

They have over stepped their powers again and they will pay for it. They ain’t gunna pay for shcit. 5 Justices on the Court agree with them.

Exactly. Of course maybe most all judges are bought and paid for, they are just being more open
