Hawley is actually pushing two bills that go after the biggest companies on the planet: The first, introduced last week, would ban mergers of companies that are worth over $100 billion. This would theoretically stop massive corporations from merging and becoming even more powerful. This week, Hawley delivers the "Bust Up Big Tech Act," which is more focused. And if it goes through, it's going to cause a serious pain to mega online retailers like Amazon. But as far as many GOP members are concerned, enough is enough.
Since our founding, the Supreme Court has never been packed. But that sleazy tactic has been done in other countries. And the fact that Dems want to do it here should be a big red flag to the rest of us. One or two seats have been added or subtracted to the court over the years. But it has stayed set at nine since 1869. Power-hungry FDR tried to pack the courts, but Congress got him to back down. But here is where court-packing did happen. And that country is now in ruins.
