Reminder that there are five ways to address the current SCOTUS problem. 1. Impeach some justices 2. Impose term limits 3. Expand the courts 4. Pass legislation limiting court prerogatives 5. Keep winning the presidency for the next 16 years or so while periodically also holding the senate.

We need to have a national dialogue about how once you hit a certain threshold, there are diminishing returns on how smart a justice is. Like, Barrett is perfectly capable of being a justice even tho she only went to ND. Gotta normalize that

Then let Sinema pick off a list of 50 people. Just need one of them. Eh it doesn’t matter anyway. 7-2 or 6-3, there’s no hope of getting a majority in my lifetime
