Go into any field office during a Democratic election. Look around at the volunteers. Look at what the census says about the percentage of non-white people in the area; look at the volunteers. Look how many Black women are there. Look how many Latinas.

How many Trump Cabinet members/senior staff have called on the US to reject him? Hint: it's a much larger number than D officials vs. Biden and you'd think that putting that counter alongside this one would be the minimum of balance required of an ethical news venue.

Absolutely, and let me tout my less-radical-than-it-seems suggestion of what to do about SCOTUS: sortition. Only the role of the chief justice is constitutionally enshrined. Write a Judiciary Act prescribing that the other seats get filled by a yearly random draw from the courts of appeals.

Because the structure of the Supreme Court isn't defined in constitutional text ā only the role of chief justice is ā Congress can write language redefining its membership. As this article argues, it departs from legislative precedents to say that change can happen only once all seats fall vacant:

The combination of life tenure for associate justices and Senate partisanship creates a corruptible, effectively immovable set of petty tyrants at the heart of our constitutional structure.
