Is a new balance coming?

[Dr. Jack]

6. There is historical precedene

After FDR defeated Hoover, the judiciary was still conservative but the Dems dominated the white house, house, and Senate for 20 years. The Republicans controlled the presidency for most of the 2nd half of the 19th century.

It has happened before. Everything moves towards a balance. The Republicans arent going to just control something as powerful as the federal judiciary without people looking for balance. Americans loathe one party controlling everything and despite fears, Republicans aren't going to set up a dictatorship. So what's the balance? The Dems could stack the courts but then the tit for tat doesn't stop. And long-term they end up fluctuating in power. Instead to maintain power they can take advantage of the situation and get a long term check on the judiciary. They have a way to dominate the legislative branch and presidency, especially if they abolish the electoral vote.

And with more liberal or democratic states in the US. Republicans would have to move to the left to adapt.
