Some good ideas here -
1) Expand #SupremeCourt, impose 18-year #TermLimits, enact enforceable #ethics rules. Strip #SCotUS of #jurisdiction over certain topics.
2) Facilitate the passing of the Nat'l Popular Vote Interstate Compact; ends #ElectoralCollege
3) #Prosecute all #crimes committed by this admin./ fire all who joined #ICE recently
4) National law against any #gerrymandering. Independent panels create #voting districts.
