Iâm a broken record, but itâs facially insane that the SCOTUSâs position is that the interest of a political partyâan entity with no special constitutional protectionâin gerrymandering is more important than black peopleâs right to vote, which we have several constitutional amendments addressing

(6,983 posts)Of course those "hoi polloi" will balk at the suggestion of "packing" the Court. It sounds terribly unfair and unethical.

(16,466 posts)Biden couldve done it but I think maybe he foresaw the consequences. Republicans would increase the size exponentially to 40, 50 seats or more and they would stall any appointments.

(10,043 posts)1- it's not needed at the moment: They made him "immune" of any "official act" accountability so he can invoke "national security" to justify every lawless act he thinks of doing without any fear.
2- it would give the Dems an obvious attack line in their campaigns to regain control of at least the House.

Cannon has done him some solids and kinda looks like his type, and Habba-Dabba-Do, too.
Look for it before 2028.
