    I used to think they need to add about 4 seats to the Supreme Court. I no longer think that.

    Now I think they should add 20 seats, and they should have term limits, age limits, and rolling election dates. Every president should be able to appoint a few seats, but never enough to change the overall direction of the court.

    One bad faith president shouldn’t be able to negatively influence policy for decades after he’s gone.

    I’m glad she’s reaching for something that the Dems have avoided for years. MAGA has been gaming SCOTUS for decades, and the Dems allowed it, approving their obviously corrupt choices nearly every time, and it’s about time they started fighting back.

    Dems need to stop trying to be MAGA Lite, and do far more fighting back, and embracing the issues that should be defining them - Universal Health Care, Student Loan Forgiveness, Free Day Care, Free College, Federal School curriculum, etc.
