Is everyone too distracted by race and gender issues to notice that the Congress does in fact seem to be moving forward with their plan to change the rules by adding four seats to the US Supreme Court?
Remember back when Courts were, at least in theory, supposed to be impartial, and functionally separate from partisanship? |

Going to be hard with the 2020 red wave. house is only a 2-seat majority at this point. |

While no outcome would surprise me, I would be most unsurprised by everyone voting straight along party lines, as has become the norm in most situations. |
I'm buying more guns, bought another Ghost and ar this morning. That's going to be the first thing this new court goes after. I hope our current court sets some useful precedent before they're gone.

Essentially "We think that the Republicans cheated by confirming a new Justice after RBG died, so we're going to change the rules." What I really don't have a firm understand of is whether the Democrat party genuinely believes that having a majority-conservative Court genuinely poses a danger to the American people, or merely that they recognize this to be a popular sentiment amongst a significant portion of their fanbase, and are stoking that fear deliberately. |

Joe, I can pretty much tell you that they care squat about the American people.

I just can't help from thinking about how nice it would be if the government worked for the people. A crazy idea, I know. |
Republicans decided they wouldn't allow a supreme court justice to be nominated because it was an election year.
Then they rammed one through a week before the election. You can't operate in bad faith and not expect consequences. |

No, no. It's only bad when the evil other party does it. When our good, benevolant party does the thing, it's because we're trying to right a previous wrong, and / or prevent the evil other party from doing evil in the immediate future.
