@AnarchoNinaWrites that’s why I was mentioning Andrew Jackson. The Supreme Court told him to leave the Cherokee alone and he just ignored them. Roosevelt got close enough to doing the same about the new deal where the court just started agreeing with him a lot more. A bit too much tbh (see Japanese internment).

Of course I’d rather take that approach for less disgusting reasons.

@AnarchoNinaWrites tl;dr all politics are about power relations

🌎🧑‍🚀🔫🧑‍🚀 Always have been.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I hope that you're wrong and we can pull things off the brink without things getting to that, but it's hard to be optimistic about it lately.

I guess the proof will be on whether the vast majority of folks who aren't thinking too hard about this get enough of an idea to keep things from going over the cliff come voting time (and agreed that by itself won't fix much).

@AnarchoNinaWrites Unfortunately the "stuff the court" constituency has gotten nowhere near majority numbers although it would be the least disruptive way to fix the problem quickly.

But the Roosevelt years do show that the court can and will walk back if the alternative is for everyone to just don't give a damn about what they say.
