Ed Markey goes there

[lark]

34. Win all 3 branches and we can make some major changes.

What Markey said is critical for the survival of our democracy. One more facist SCOTUS and we are dead, well so much we hold dear will be dead. For instance, four year terms - gone, healthcare - gone, social security and Medicare - gone - stolen by the rich. Will we still be able to vote after 8 years of drumpf and RW courts - doubtful, will there still be free public schools - doubtful, unions - gone, right to protest - gone. Dems have to fight back and take overwhelming steps to reconstitute our democracy when/if we win. The gloves have to come off - no filibuster for any reason, expand SCOTUS by 2, change the laws to require 10 years of tax returns to be eligible to run for the presidency, put teeth in subpoenas and throw the fascists in jail when they refuse and take away their salaries. Enhance the emoluments clause, give it definition and penalties - never can we have someone who runs the country for his own profit again.
