Heidi Li FeldmanWe are going to need a wholesale reconstruction of the U.S. federal government if we are ever to restore anything like rule of law and pluralistic democracy in the U.S. I know I have said this before, but it bears repeating. If Democrats gain control of one or even both houses in the midterms they may be able to limit just a bit of what Trump, with Roberts Court, can do but that will be only a small patch on a government that must be completely overhauled. 1/
Paul_IPv6assuming we can get back to a sane and functional congress, the work list is long:
- election reform (ranked voting, no electoral college, campaign finance reform, federal term limits)
- fix SCOTUS (12 seats, term limits, ethics standards, oversight)
- fix congress (no stock trading, better ethics reviews, trash seniority as the means of committee assignment)
- review what we've learned about all the gaps in the constitution that undermine separation of power and have substantive constitutional review and changes.
