Message To The 'New' Supreme Court For Next Month.

"Void the Affordable Care Act? Go Ahead, make our day."

But considering you'll have a Democratic President, a Democratic Senate, and a Democratic House who could expand the SCOTUS to 20 Associate Justices; re-write the ACA with a public option once you've voided it; and give statehood to Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico, you've gotta ask yourself one question....DO I FEEL LUCKY?

That way you can effectively send Thomas, Barfing Brett, and little miss tuffet out to pasture.

How many swing states will pretend they can’t count the vote and send it over to the fascist Supreme Court?

enough to trigger Democrats expanding the SCOTUS, in my opinion. And if the SCOTUS tries to pull that on enough States to swing the election, Washington will suddenly look like Belarus. Ten million protesters in the streets, protesting the rigged election.

I know I wouldn't hesitate to do so because I don't want to live under the GOP theocracy. But that is not an option for many people upon whom others depend. We live in scary times.

since I have a place I can stay at. Since I have the ACA, too many prexisting conditions to count and will likely die I figure, why not? I will wear two N95 masks instead of one, to protect others. I figure that this will be my "swan song" protest as an activist. I will go out in style and self respect.

Expand the court. Add DC as a state. End the Filabuster. Nothing is off the table now and nothing the Dens do can be held against them.

I'm sick and tired of living on pins and needles worrying what the rule of the minority (GOP) will do next. It's time we right this ship!
