right now, gop has control of the court for effectively ever. if Ds expand the court, they have at least power for a bit. if Rs then expand...we're no worse off than we were. if the supreme court ends up with 50 people, that's fine. they're acting like a legislature anyway. 1

like, "I think that outcome would be silly" is not a good reason to oppose actions that would substantially reduce fascist power.

the future is the future. but if Ds get the presidency and congress, they should not allow the supreme court to gut all their policy priorities just because of some slippery slope future outcome that some people think seems unwieldy.

@nberlat.bsky.social @CosmicTraveler They should expand the court and appoint some super progressive judges. Not holding my breath because too many congress critters of both parties are bought and aid for.
