Just lower the retirement age of the VSC and appoint new ones? Don’t think I’ve ever heard of the GOP doing that.

Since redistricting to benefit blacks now seems off-limits, then we should redistrict to bunch all the Republicans together in one or two districts and leave the rest for the Dems. That is certainly not racist, but it is still discrimination.
