1. Expand the court.

There is no justice without police accountability.

3. time for the circuit and district courts

4. I said in a reply to another post the other day that it is the judges at the local, state and

federal levels who, with their conservative, racist-based decisions such as qualified immunity for police, that has prevented the continuation of the forward momentum these demonstrations provide.

Biden is said not to want to expand the USSC court. We must pressure him to rethink his position and create the change without his blessing, if necessary.

5. Only takes 4 votes for SCOTUS to consider a case. Advance nose-counting?

7. Police qualified immunity is what keeps people from suing them for abuse of power

It limits their liability to extremely specific circumstances relate to prior cases... The statute was being challenged so that they would be able to be held liable more frequently. The court refused to hear it.
