If the Supreme Court was reversed with liberals in the majority...

Donald Trump would threaten to fire two or three of them. He would start a whisper campaign against them asking them to resign.

If they refused to step down, he would replace them anyway. Instead of a 9-member Court, he would have a 12-member Court.

He would make it very difficult for them to hang on to their positions. All the while, he would say that they had been there too long and need to step down. He never fires them. He just puts in their replacements and makes it difficult for the old timers to stay.

This is how the Democrats would have to play ball to compete with these folks that do not follow any rules.

His super cringy ass kissing minion Charlie Kirk is already running a smear campaign against her with the idiots who still follow that worthless piece of shit. It's going to get scary. Fuck Charlie Kirk to hell!

Everything is all-or-nothing with him. If he doesn't have all 9, it's not good enough.

All these gentlemanly understandings within the constitutional construct that have worked for a few hundred years clearly need much clearer harder guardrails with IMMEDIATE penalties.

Dems will have to leverage all of their power and influence if they want to have any chance of reversing this decline.
