Fiendish Thingy

9. The more the merrier

Dems must never again govern out of fear of what republicans might do if they regain power.

The bigger the court, the less influence any single Justice has, and the more difficult it is to form reliable, consistent voting blocs.

We must live in reality - no Justice will ever be removed from office when the threshold to do so is so high.

I’ll repeat myself in case you didn’t read it clearly the first time:

There can be NO restoration of lost rights and NO repairing the damage and destruction of the Trump era until the court is expanded, and the filibuster is killed to do so.

THAT is the reality we face, not some imagined “oh no, the republicans will do it too” doomer fantasy - we are already living through the worst nightmare in the history of the nation since the Civil War, and now is the time for courage, not cowardice.

Nothing else matters.
