"Expand the court" has gone from radical solution to the most exceptionally moderate option on the table.

One of these days maybe center-left people will start including anarchists as people they should actually read. "radical solution" == bog-standard liberal reformism, which historically is not even attempted when class interests are threatened

It's been that way for years. And the Court just handed the President the means to do it: just do it. Don't wait on legislation. Appoint new justices and have the military escort them to their seats. Call it an official act as Commander-in-Chief, an emergency measure to thwart a judicial coup.

“Expand the court” was a necessary backstop against fascsism in 2021. Now that the court done for the year, it’d do nothing unless Dems can stay in power So really the only thing it COULD do is prevent another Bush v Gore style power grab

I’ve definitely moved from “expand and reform” to “judicial review isn’t constitutional, fuck all the way off”.

Destroy the court. Dismantle it, along with all the systems connected to it. Start over.

He's a bit slow on the uptake for progressive ideas but Joe Biden will come around to this position in ten or twenty years, you'll see

Too bad it's too fucking late. Could've prevented all of this past year of horror if he'd done that.

anytime someone says "alito and thomas COULD retire or die, look at their ages" it's just. yeah. now also look at dem leadership's ages, and if they look like they're in any rush to retire
