  1. The Republicans already packed the court! That's why it needs to be expanded to legitimize it again!

  2. Americans have already lost trust in the supreme Court,the supreme Court is already politicized,so please the republicans used the filibuster so many times so stop your hypocrisy

  3. It doesn't matter the Democrats don't have the votes to pack the cord anyway

  4. The political process to confirm a supreme court justice is entirely partisan. What is this senator talking about ? He's acting like republicans wouldn't do the same under similar circumstances.

  5. The Republicans already packed the court with underhanded means…. don't play coy. They were happy with McConnells packing the court with Kavanaugh and Barrett but now they have a problem.

  6. Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett were examples of court packing , Tillis!

  7. The Federalist Society

  8. Thats all BS, because there wasn't a problem when Amy got sworn in when Ruth had passed away before she was even put underground yet. The hypocrisy of these Republicans.

  9. Where were you when you slammed in two questionable judges?

  10. Republican leadership is a terrorist organization

  11. C.R.T. = Crusty Republican Turds, Remember when Republicans only hated taxes?
    C.R.T. = Communist Republican Tillis, Who wants America destroyed from inside? United we stand, divided we fall.

  12. There are now 360,000,000 people in American. A reasonable person can argue there should be a larger, more representative, Supreme Court today.

  13. Omg this Dood needs to stfu. Every thing he’s saying is EXACTLY what the Яepublican Party ALREADY did by packing the court and shoving through nominations at breakneck speed…. In so sick of these Яepublicans and their disingenuous BS….

  14. What does he call what his party was doing during the Trump administration.

  15. Who stop Obama nominee and rush the there supreme Court nominee threw. Gop has the nerve to talk about packing the court
    All the tricks they do.

  16. Funny how he had no problem with Trump packing the court.

  17. He show how races he is because is a black woman and not a withe person.

  18. Can you take me and my family live in your country? Maybe we can work together with bitcoin and the money for the future world

  19. The GOP has zero credibility when it comes to any decision that affects the Supreme Court. They couldn't even honor RBG's dying wish to not confirm another justice until after the election. Even though they swore it was something they'd never do when they weren't the majority. They did what ever they wanted. Why not do the same.

  20. Shout out to George Floyd on 667 days of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!!

  21. Affirmative action at it’s finest! She got into college and the SCOTUS because of her skin color.

  22. SERGEANT ROBERT JUSTIN ALFORD GREEN AT. N.A.F.B. IS KIDNAPPING HIS WIFE'S FAMILY MEMBERS.

  23. Didn’t republicans pack the court ? You republicans already lost the trust of the American people!

  24. The court has been packed. The American people saw GOP do it.
    By the grim reaper and friends.

  25. Tillis sure likes to brag and talk about himself

  26. Imagine a GOP piece of 💩 bringing up this after all of the damage of the tRump era.

  27. This guy should be directing his complaints to Moscow Mitch.
