    I don’t think SC has as much wiggle room to justify a squash attempt under 1965 HEA, the law is written very plainly there.

    You’re right about executive overreach though, Biden would have to rally his congress to resize the court. He could have leveraged the majority activists handed him via GA in his first 2 years to do this. And when certain scumbag senators refuse to play ball, campaign aggressively in their home districts against them - whatever he has to do to fight for us. Which he isn’t going to do at all.

      campaign aggressively

      rofl

      You think a bunch of republican “I’m a hair’s breadth away from taking my gun and shooting the first black man I see” dumbasses will suddenly vote Democrat if you just “campaign aggressively”??

        Obviously not, I was referring to those who claim to be part of the democratic caucus and yet obstruct just as much as the republicans. The convenient excuses to not get anything done by Dems - Manchin and Sinema. One of the ways Biden can prove to me he actually wants to do something to benefit the people, is to hold them accountable. Instead he rewards them, and I suspect this is because they’re doing their jobs perfectly.

        However, you do bring up a good point - we need to seriously consider how to bring republican voters back from the brink. It will be crucial for us to find a way to de-program them and bring them back into the societal fold, if we are to survive as a nation.
