Major Update at the US Supreme Court [View all]


Major Update at the US Supreme Court

You know friends, with the Supreme Court continuing to rule in ways that often violate the express text of the Constitution, it's time to do more than just talk about expanding the number of justices on the Supreme Court. It's time to prepare for the fight that lies ahead to expand the number of Supreme Court justices, as I just discussed with my friend and partner in The Legal Breakdown Brian Tyler Cohen.

As Brian persuasively argues in this new book, "The Day After: How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World":

"The first order of a filibuster free Congress should be reform of the Supreme Court. Not the second or third or fourth, it will be too late to save the Republic and our independent judiciary. If any subsequent reforms are to stand a chance at surviving, we cannot leave in place a rogue branch of government with the power to strike down anything that doesn't import with its far right ideology."

All the star power in our party and the DNC and it's left to an independent journalist Brian Tyler Cohen to strategize the landscape ahead when a Democratic Congress and President meet SCOTUS-6R. Everything Dems do will be invalidated.

Dems need to stride forward and let the chips fall, let Republicans balk, just like they did to us.
