AOC: ‘Expand the court.’

After Republicans in the Senate confirmed the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court Monday night, many progressive Democrats were upset that the opposing party would push through a nominee weeks before the presidential election and called for measures to shift the now 6-3 conservative majority on the nation’s highest court.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, says it’s time to “Expand the court.” Court-packing has been a major point of contention ahead of Tuesday’s election. And former Vice President Joe Biden has yet to answer to whether he intends to do just that after harshly criticizing the President’s decision to nominate Justice Barrett.
Despite Biden’s silence, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez was clear that Democrats should be just as aggressive as Republicans right now in pushing their agenda through.
“Republicans do this because they don’t believe Dems have the stones to play hardball like they do,” Rep. Ocasio Cortez added. “And for a long time they’ve been correct. But do not let them bully the public into thinking their bulldozing is normal but a response isn’t. There is a legal process for expansion.”

Videotapes from Jan. 6 Committee Witness Interviews Vanish

Videotapes containing witness interviews conducted by the Democrat-led January 6 congressional committee have disappeared. The chairman of the House Administration oversight subcommittee, Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), expressed his apprehension on the “Just the News, No Noise” television show.
According to Loudermilk, all videotapes of depositions have vanished, raising questions about the preservation of crucial evidence. He argued that, under House rules, these tapes qualified as congressional evidence, especially since some clips were aired during hearings. Loudermilk contended that the tapes should have been preserved by the now-defunct Jan. 6 committee and its chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.).
Loudermilk’s revelation has broader implications, potentially impacting criminal trials in both state court in Georgia and federal court in Washington, where individuals, including former President Donald Trump, face charges related to the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. Notably, Trump’s legal team had recently requested evidence from the Jan. 6 committee but was denied by a judge.
The situation takes a further twist as Loudermilk disclosed that the J6 committee had sent certain evidence, such as transcripts, to the Biden White House and the Homeland Security Department. Shockingly, these transcripts have now been returned to Loudermilk’s GOP-led subcommittee almost entirely redacted, preventing the disclosure of their contents.
The lack of records regarding witnesses, their statements, and the extensive redactions have raised concerns among House Republicans. Loudermilk emphasized that these documents belong to the House and should not have been sent in such a heavily redacted form. The chairman questioned the motives behind the redactions, asking why a Democrat-run House was allowed to have unredacted documents while a Republican committee’s efforts were obstructed. This development adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing investigations into the events surrounding January 6, 2021.
