    Yep, exactly. I remember seeing many warnings in 2021-22 saying that then was the right time to pack the courts. Establishment Dems twiddled their thumbs while insisting that everyone everywhere needs to follow proper decorum and procedure. And now look what happened with the string of terrible Supreme Court decisions.

      The fact that the US has to ‘pack the courts’ to get anything through shows how broken the system is.

      Not that any other country is better but still, you’d think judges should be impartial and resistant to influence, and yet you get Clarence offering up his chocolate starfish for a vacation in a warm climate

      Fuck procedure. Dems need to act instead of just talking about shit. I’m legit terrified for this next election.
