do not forget that they wouldn't be on that court if it weren't for the rest of the GOP voting in lockstep to his wishes.

We've got midterms coming up and we have to not just focus on trump. We need to hang this around their necks until November.

If it's only about the SC justices, elections have consequences, that's how it works. Repubs certainly bent some rules but generally, the rules were known.
Alito and Thomas are getting up there in age and another Dem win in 2024 is likely crucial to replace them.

to fascism the turd has put the nation on if we get out a massive vote turnout and still lose Congressional majorities?

Fingers crossed that the J6 hearings, the revulsion to the abortion ban by SCOTUS, and the decision making guns even more prevalent in society will keep Dems in charge.

And a LOT of time. It took decades to get the things they have struck down. It took decades for R's to get to a point where they could strike it all down. Now, it will take decades to get it back. Hence the phrase, elections have consequences. I wonder, does the "I'm taking my ball and going home" crowd get it now?
