MODERATORS
It needs to happen, along with a Supreme Court amendment.
But the bar is too high.
An amendment starts by getting 290 votes in the House which a) is currently controlled by Republicans and b) Barely gets a simple 218 vote majority to decide who their own leader even is.
The last time they exceeded 290 was to bounce out George Santos. That's how bad it has to get.
This is why I thought Joe should've been the fall guy for this. Start being the dictator the Supreme Court says he's allowed to be an then Republicans will immediately snap to and passing this amendment will be their highest priority. He doesn't even have to drop bombs or anything. Order troops to go into GOP controlled states and help boost voter registration.
I like the cut of your jib, stranger.
