    We called for this on day 1 of Biden’s first term…

    He chose to put a bipartisan committee in charge of seeing if we should just let the corrupt Republican SC stay in power, and the committee waited two years till dems didnt have the numbers to fix anything, before recommending Dems don’t fix anything.

      As long as the Dems have less than 60 votes in the Senate, and aren’t willing to ditch the fucking filibuster, there’s literally nothing they can do.

      You can’t reform the court without a Constitutional Amendment since the operation and formation of the court is defined by the Constitution.

      So, 2/3rds vote in the House, 2/3rds vote in the Senate, ratification by the States.
