I have no idea what Senate people think is going to confirm a whole bunch of new Biden SCOTUS nominees but it’s not this one with 47 Dems, 49 Republicans, and 4 Independents (Angus King, Bernie Sanders, Kyrsten Sinema, and Joe Manchin.) 2 of the Independents are reliable. 2 are definitely not.

I mean, I like the idea on the surface but it’s not going to happen until we have some much better majorities.

Sorry. I like living in reality. It’s less complicated. #IfMyMathIsRightAndItAlwaysIs

⬆️

IF (and it is a big IF) we can win the House and hold the #Senate without Manchin and Sinema (Manchinema?), then there’s a good chance we can nuke the filibuster and get some SCOTUS reform.

It’s a big lift, but it is not impossible.

But it all begins with winning #2024, up and down the entire ballot.

I hope I’m not hunting a unicorn!

@Tengrain You are not.

I have to focus on reality and what we can do now instead of panic attacking about it. Because that’s what gets results (for example red states where abortion rights were protected and states with a Democratic trifecta and what they’ve been able to accomplish.)

@TonyStark

Thanks!

I’m the weirdo that paid attention in Civics class (remember when we had that?) and I know generally how the mechanics work, but maybe more importantly I know where to look.

Nothing is impossible, there is always a way. But the power to change things belongs to the voters.

@TonyStark

We legislate new laws, repeal some, rewrite others; we’ve even repealed Constitutional Amendments. Nothing is permanent. John Roberts illegitimate and corrupt #SCOTUS even destroyed stare decisis, so precedence cannot even stop us!

Today might be a bad day, but it is NOT our last act. We have a lot of options ahead of us, but they all begin with #voting.

I cannot say this enough #2024 is now the most important election in our modern history. Be there.

@Tengrain

Regaining a trifecta has to be the goal for the election.

Once won, first order of business is make DC a state. 2nd up, John Lewis Voting Rights Act. 3rd, restore #TheFreedomToDecide , 4th SCOTUS reform (it'll take some time to get concensus on the package).
