@rbreich Yet Biden team seems unwilling, uninterested in playing hardball - balancing, expanding Supreme Court. At least FDR TRIED.

Editorial: some have suggested 13 #SCOTUS judges for 13 circuits. Alas, meek Biden - and the neo/liberal Clinton Obama Biden Dems - simply incapable of playing hardball, unlike… that #FDR guy they sometimes talk about.😉☹️ We need some FDR / Bernie / Squad / PDA / Justice Democrats to kick some ass, force balancing #MAGAfascist / #Christofascist / #Catholifascist court rigged by #FederaliFascist Leonard Leo / Federalist Society! #ExpandTheCourt #BalanceTheCourt #BalanceSCOTUS✌️🖖

Are Clinton - Obama - Biden (neo)liberal DNC Dems YET sorry that, during one of the times they had a trifecta, they a) didn't pass strong (SCOTUS- / Federalist-proof!) reproductive rights b) didn't expand / balance the Supreme Court #SCOTUS?
(what might FDR / Henry Wallace / JFK / LBJ / McGovern / Jesse Jackson / Bernie Sanders have done?) #ExpandTheCourt #BalanceTheCourt

2/2 This #SCOTUS decision (to be clear to hear the immunity case NOT that they've granted it!) gives #TraitorTrump what he wants "#delay" of the trial until likely July - if we're lucky! Something NEEDS to be done about this SCOTUS! #Biden needs to add justices to #balancethecourt. It's legal, constitutional & has been done before ... so let's do it already!! Bc the current SCOTUS continues to harm the American people! #ScotusIsCorrupt #SCOTUSEthics
