Democrats introduced legislation Thursday to pack the U.S. Supreme Court with four more judges in an unprecedented power grab of the federal government to legislate from the bench while controlling Congress and the White House.
The bill to increase the court from nine to 13 members was introduced by House Democrats and hypocrite U.S. Sen. Ed Markey, pictured below:

Colorado Republicans are blowing up Twitter today in opposition to the radical move, while the entire Democrat delegation is completely mum on the judicial mutiny.
U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper only cares about reminding taxpayers they need to pay his salary next month.
It may be April 15, but don’t worry, you still have until May 17th to submit your taxes! https://t.co/IPLrXlrSPy

Hickenlooper tip-toed around the issue of court packing during his campaign.
U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet is one of the most vulnerable Democrats up for reelection, so he’s over in the corner rocking back and forth mumbling about public lands.
U.S. Reps. Diana DeGette, Jason Crow, Ed Perlmutter and Joe Neguse are also avoiding the controversial move.
But not Republican U.S. Reps Ken Buck and Doug Lamborn.
Last night at House Judiciary, Democrats tried to pack the Supreme Court, open the border to terrorists, and push reparations.
Is this really what America wants?

Democrats can’t pass their wildly unpopular agenda through Congress, so they’re packing the Supreme Court instead.
