If the SC isnt increased before the NC case, America is over.

[Eliot Rosewater]

We KNOW what the justices will do and we KNOW what the ramifications are.

But I think NOTHING is being done to stop it.

MAYBE because they cant increase the court without removing the filibuster, but I also think our President is against it.

Too bad, cuz we are DONE otherwise.

1. Reversing Roe seems very good for us in re-taking state legislatures

Maybe we can make it come back to bite them if SCOTUS empowers legislatures- we can gerrymander the hell out of our states.

[JohnSJ]

2. Everything depends on the midterms

[Joinfortmill]

3. Amen

[roamer65]

4. Yes.

You are correct.

5. Thread trashed

6. That is not going to happen. Why spend time on it? NT

[Jamesm9164]

7. Why the hell are we reducing the existence of this experiment on the USSC regardless of number? NT

[no_hypocrisy]

8. And who's going to vote to make up for Sinema and Manchin?

Collins and Murkowski? They owe us but it ain't gonna happen.

[stollen]

15. We need that many more senators so those two goofs won't matter

If only

[Novara]

9. The only way I see out of this is to make Manchin and Sinema irrelevant ...

...by increasing our majority in the Senate, abolishing or even simply modifying the filibuster, and passing laws to expand the court.

And the likelihood of that happening? Pretty close to zero, I'm afraid.

10. I am increasing my contributions to no-chance-in-hell-but-maybe races

Florida, Iowa, e.g.

14. Might As Well Throw Away Some Dough On Some TX Races Too

18. Beto got plenty from me

When Wendy Davis calls, I just ask, “whatcha running for this time, Wendy?” But I like her. She doesn't give up, so I don’t give up on her.

[rubbersole]

16. Florida is possible.

Rubio is despised here. But not as much as our governor. You don't hear anything good about them. I take that as a positive.

[DFW]

19. I have given plenty to Val, too. n/t

11. Speaking of "what if's"..

If only we had ratified the ERA when we were only 2 states to go... that, imo, was the beginning of the end

[DFW]

12. Nixon beating Humphrey in 1968

That was the legitimization and ratification of “dirty tricks” as a valid campaign tactic.

[rubbersole]

17. And refined by reagan's agents against Jimmy Carter.

Carter may have been the most morally decent president we've ever had.
