not my original idea, but borrowing from elsewhere: never mind if she has the votes or not, do it anyway so people have to vote yea or nay on it. make them show their faces on it. (i am eliding all procedural details here; i'm less concerned with the mechanics than the vibes)

What about creating and ratifying a new constitution entirely? The current one's Article VII sort of provides a guideline or outline of what happened to the Articles of Confederation.

This is realistically probably true, but we don't get hear without AOC and others banging the impeachment drum to move the public on the issue of court reform. At least somebody understands the concept of performative acts to drive the national discourse which seems like an arcane secret to Schumer
