"Expand the court" has gone from radical solution to the most exceptionally moderate option on the table.
Thank God we have an dementia ridden octogenarian in charge who is terrified to wield power
They have also helpfully introduced the "reduce the court" option 👀
Counterpoint: old Donny Trump can’t possibly slip out of the next scandal
It's been that way for years. And the Court just handed the President the means to do it: just do it. Don't wait on legislation. Appoint new justices and have the military escort them to their seats. Call it an official act as Commander-in-Chief, an emergency measure to thwart a judicial coup.
“Expand the court” was a necessary backstop against fascsism in 2021. Now that the court done for the year, it’d do nothing unless Dems can stay in power So really the only thing it COULD do is prevent another Bush v Gore style power grab
And yet not a single thing will happen
Except that Dem leadership is still opposed.
You need a House of Lords and a monarchy and none of this would have happened...
Too bad Biden is against that too.
