Elizabeth Warren calls for expansion of Supreme Court, saying current court is a threat to democracy

25. The need is more critical now than when Hillary was running, since Trump appointed 3 right wingers

and tipped the court to a 6-3 conservative balance. Not even "normal" conservatives but the craziest loons we've ever had on the high court.

If they uphold outrageous voting rights restrictions that red states are imposing, we've likely lost our democracy forever. And they are about to take away reproductive rights for women at least those in red states.

The need is urgent and cannot wait. Biden does need to expand the court now, whatever it takes to do that. He can argue that our population has grown, we need 13 judges for 13 circuits, or whatever but also just note that this would be unstacking the court since the Republicans blocked Obama's nominee for the entire last year of his term, yet hypocritically rammed through a third Trump appointee only around 2 weeks before the election.

Our democracy truly does hang in the balance here and there is no more time to delay. When Hilary spoke it was a hypothetical concern but now it's an imminent threat, exactly as Elizabeth Warren has so clearly stated.

Those here who oppose expanding the court better get ready for authoritarian rule and an end to the U.S. as a democracy.
