(4,518 posts)they need to only allow the supremacist court to meet one day a year, or maybe only on February 29, until further notice.
"Congresswhich mandates the Supreme Courts start date by lawset the date as the First Monday in October in 1917. 104 years later, that is still opening day. But between 1789 and 1917 the start date of the term changed quite a bit. Originally, Congress created two terms, one in February and one in August. In 1802 Congress abolished the August session and in 1827 it moved the Courts start day from February to the first Monday in January. To accommodate a rising caseload, in 1844 the opening day was pushed back to the first Monday in December, and then in 1873 to the second Monday in October. When Congress passed a new judicial code in 1916 which effectively added to the Supreme Courts burdensome docket, it moved opening day back a week to lengthen the term for the justices."

(106,712 posts)They are the 800 pound tumor in DC that no one wants to address - but this entire wretched administration and the thug regime is all their doing. They need to be permanently banned from DC and all of their employees need to be arrested and tried for seditious conspiracy to committ treason and overthrow the United States government. Fox News too.

(416 posts)I filed a complaint with IRS about their tax exempt status. Not so much as a peep by these cowards when it is so clear the Heritage Foundation is a political organization masquerading as a public interest group. They should not be able to reward their donors with a tax deduction for purely political activities. They should lose this designation.
