SCOTUS Thread (News and Discussion) II: Rape Isn't On My Calendar

So obviously republicans would also pack the courts of the democrats do it. A question I have is - is there actually anything Dems could do to prevent that?

DC statehood. Puerto Rican statehood. That's the start.

[Day]

We had those things in place and the dems started chipping away at them and GOP finished them off. Any of this "loosening" you do now to obtain more power will only be used against you "sooner than you may think"

Have congressional distract maps redone. Outlaw gerrymandering and redlining. Force states to have polling places to a ratio of their population. Expand voting to be beyond a one day thing always. Automatic voter registration. Just requires Dems to grow a spine and end this useless we need to compromise song and dance.

I cant wait for the center right to do away with any and all context in order to complain about democrats weilding power exactly as Republicans have been doing it the past 4 years. Cant fucking wait haha

Guess what, weilding power like a bunch of assholes has produced the outcomes were seeing now. McConnells choices are coming back to bite yall, a lot sooner than you thought. Their only hope is they are able to throw away as many mail ballots as possible, cause wewww boy going from a red trifecta to a solid blue one in only 4 years is pretty lol considering how undemocratic our elections are.

This should be the only response everytime anyone right of center cries about norms or process

This was posted before but I just can't get over it. I really do want to see what politics looks like when the entire electorate stops pretending the gop is acting in good faith, when democrats just stop pretending its their job to hold onto norms and traditions at the same time the gop shits all over em.

Best we can hope for is that Mitch McConnell has another fall while on blood thinners, develops a hemorrhagic stroke, loses control of half his body, and rapidly dies soaking in the same pile of shit he left this country in.

There's lots of lucid, well reasoned arguments for why the courts should be expanded...

And I don't care about any of them. Republicans have made it clear the last 4 years that all that matters is naked power, and if democrats win the trifecta come next month I want them to wield the same naked power to advance Democratic policies. I used to think both parties were just two groups of Americans with the same goals and just different methods, but I know better now and want to wield the stick of power with so much gusto, and popularity, that the republican party either dies or has to move so far left to be viable that they're unrecognizable from the party we see today.

But m'incrementalism!

I also can't wait for the Republicans that follow McConnells eventual demise to be all " nahhh that was those Republicans but were all different! Please let's go back to these norms that make it easier to entrench our unpopular ideas with fewer votes from the electorate"

I know Schumer and Pelosi will be tempted to let that happen, but im hoping the progressive wing raises enough hell to make that impossible.

Dude they're going to start doing that about Trump the moment he loses

[Salodin]

What am I saying, you're right

You all realize that Reid, the guy that groomed Schumer, is out there saying get rid of the fillibuster if the GOP won't play ball within 3 weeks? Buttigieg, the white bread millennial version of Biden, is saying norms are dead. Ya'll confusing Pelosi for Doug Jones just because she's not AOC

[Tyrath]

I think the only personal attack here is you against yourself for listening to that music

[Day]

I hope you can go on living knowing I like various forms of music

[Tyrath]

I can't. I will pray for you.
