The Issue: Democrats\u2019 introduction of a bill that would add four seats to the Supreme Court.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There should not be absolute power on either side (\u201cDems bid to pack the court,\u201d April 15).<\/p>\n

Democracy as defined or implied by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution should be respected.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court frustrated President Frank\u00adlin Roosevelt, but prevailing opinion precluded his court-packing in the 1930s.<\/p>\n

We are at the precipice of abandoning our identity as a free nation.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t watch this happ<\/a>en or become complicit in your silence or your voting. <\/p>\n

Fred Stewart<\/em>

Apparently, congressional Democrats can\u2019t wait until President Biden\u2019s Commission on the Supreme Court even begins considering changes to the court, much less completes the process, before proceeding with their court-packing agenda.<\/p>\n

This is a naked power grab by the Democrats that will do nothing but politicize the court and erode public confidence in the judicial branch.<\/p>\n

Liberal Justices Stephen Breyer and the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg have both resisted this idea.<\/p>\n

It is interesting to note that the same people who criticized President Donald Trump for allegedly attacking institutional norms see no problem with their own assault on institutional norms, such as the Senate filibuster and the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

Kenneth Fitzgerald<\/em>
Hicksville<\/em><\/p>\n

The Democrats have officially hijacked our country with their insane notion to pack the court.<\/p>\n

Their claim is that adding four justices to the court \u201cwill shore up the public\u2019s confidence in the court and its legitimacy in the public\u2019s eye.\u201d Who is \u201cthe public\u201d exactly? I bet it doesn\u2019t include 74 million Americans.<\/p>\n

Trump filled SCOTUS vacancies the old-fashioned way \u2014 due to retirements or death.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s outlandish to think that just because the balance of the court doesn\u2019t swing left it\u2019s no longer a viable institution.<\/p>\n

Democrats, stop throw\u00ading a hissy fit when you don\u2019t get your way. Trying to bring down our country for a power grab will have lasting effects for years to come.<\/p>\n

Arlene Chera<\/em>
Brooklyn<\/em><\/p>\n

Total government control over its citizens was the goal of the communists, fascists, Nazis, Venezuelan social<\/a>ists \u2014 and now the American left.<\/p>\n

The Constitution was designed to protect us from government, and the Supreme Court is the ultimate enforcer.<\/p>\n

If Democrats pack the court with far-left lackeys, Americans will inevitably suffer a ghastly fate. Venezuelans didn\u2019t think it could happen there either. <\/p>\n

The Issue: The death of Bernie Madoff, who was convicted of running a $65 billion Ponzi scheme.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bernie Madoff was the world\u2019s greatest chef \u2014 because he cooked the books for $65 billion (\u201cDeath of a sleazeman,\u201d April 15).<\/p>\n

He concocted a deceitful dish that enticed some of the biggest names.<\/p>\n

How could people so presumably smart as Steven Spielberg, Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Weisel and former Mets owner Fred Wilpon be so foolish as to entrust Madoff with their money?<\/p>\n

Maybe it\u2019s the same reason that folks invest in Game<\/a>Stop and Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Richard Reif<\/em>
Queens<\/em><\/p>\n

Madoff wreaked havoc and destruction across the world\u2019s financial markets and destroyed lives \u2014 from the lowest-level investor to the wealthiest among those he came in contact with.<\/p>\n

No tears should be shed for this man, only for those lives he maliciously destroyed.<\/p>\n
