Hard isn't the right word. Pretty much impossible in our modern day.
Shoot the only way we were able to illegalize slavery is because the southern states were rebelling and we decided they didn't count.
Sweeping bill to overhaul Supreme Court would add six justices

The issue is that if you filibuster every nominee than seats have to be filled.
He & McConnell already did, I'm sure you two were fine w that.
Already happened bud. This is just balancing the scales.
Won’t happen. If you’re paying attention the Court has proven that they don’t all sing from the same choir book already.
Democrats: “OH NOES…TRUMP’S GONNA PACK DA COURT”
Also Democrats: “LETS PACK THE COURT”
Hypocrites and fools.

The party of personal responsibility engages in unprecedented partisan behavior and exclaims “It’s your fault! You started it!”
BAU.
Instead of complaining about something you don’t understand.
Why not ask, why did they do this?
They did it so that SC decisions would not be subject to the whims of voters, or the popular party, or the populist notions of the day.
That minority and individual rights would be retained and asserted under the law.
To expressly prevent the “tyranny of the majority.” Look it up.
That they wouldn’t be making decisions based on retaining their own seat, but rather what was correct under the Law.
The filibuster was never part of the Constitution nor something the Founding Fathers advocated. I would expect those of you who back scrict constructionism and/or original intent would be for eliminating the filibuster.
Welp, the Senate did and these proposals all stem from that. That and the fact that certain justices think they don’t need to follow an ethics code.

If the courts weren't balanced in favor of the conservatives, would the Dems push this bill? Me thinks, NOPE! Just end the life-time term limits and the problem is solved.
