Alito and Thomas could very well die or retire in the next 5 years. An opportunity for the first dem court since 1974, or you can get two Leonard Leo endorsed 40 year olds to replace them. Basically, there is an opportunity to pack the courts at all levels for either winner. Or punish Biden...

These people can't conceive of any solutions that aren't defined in the narrow confines of the Constitution. How have none of these people considered maybe the Constitution itself is the problem here?

The Supreme Court was decent for maybe 30-40 years out of ~230, and has been bad for the last 30, and the conservative project to pack the judiciary with dead-eyed reactionaries reached maturity a decade ago...

But give us five more years and maybe we'll turn this around!

they could've packed the fucking court two years ago or several more years ago under obama.

they don't want to pack the court and whoever you're quoting is a rube

Exactly, Obungler bungled it all and they never blame him

Edit: you know what? I take part of that back, he didn't bungle it because he didn't even try in the first place

the next supreme court justice is going to be a raging conservative whether tom cotton or jesus christ is the president.
