Past precedent and the Constitution. The Constitution does not specify the number of justices. It's left entirely to Congress.

Believe it was the Judiciary Act of 1790 that set up the Judiciary system in the US.

The Founders left the structure of the judiciary to Congress. I believe the Constitution references a Chief Justice of the Court but it only appears in the impeachment proceedings of the president. No further reference is made to the Chief Justice.

On a side note, as a former Louisiana resident, great job fellas getting Cassidy out of there!

Just asking…what if Trump came out and said okay, let’s pack the Supreme Court and here are my SC justice candidates.

How fast would the D’s start crawfishing on this point? Get them on record saying they are now against increasing the number of SC justices.

And what does that say about the dumb arse senators who voted for her confirmation. Has any reporter asked them how proud they are of that vote. They’d either avoid the question or deflect to something else.

Congress is the problem not the solution.

Jeffries is now saying “You can continue to criticize me for it. I don't give a damn about your criticism."

If only people gave a damn about that useless excuse for a politician…

Good luck Cleco customers. Yall bout to get fricked.

Not only customers but the employees.

Rodemacher unit 3 was supposed to slightly raise base rates while lowering fuel costs. At least that was the proposal. Don’t think that has been the case. CLECO lost the Dolet Hills power plant and it was a low cost producer of electricity. At one time CLECO had one of the lowest fuel costs in the state. Not the case now.

Unfortunately, over the years some very good employees and leaders got ran off from the company. Can only imagine what the company would look like if those good employees had stayed. Waiting to cheer for one ( hopefully) dismissal.
