Tyranny of the Minority

The Reich Wing has 30 Senators from Red States-WY, AK, ND, SD, WV, NE, KS, MS, AR, UT, OK, KY, and SC-with a total population of 35 million people.

California has 2 Democratic Senators with a population of 39 Million.

First step kill the filibuster. Second step, after the election, send 5 Judges to SCOTUS immediately.

Enough is way more than enough already.

Make it 6 for a total of 15. You don't want an even number of judges. c-rational Sep 2020 #1
As it is, they FORCE this option, and 15 + is the goal StClone Sep 2020 #2

Personally, I like the idea of one SC justice for each federal district (and theres more than 9 of those right now, so argumentativly anwyay, expansion has some non-political cover).
