Maybe THIS will get the Dems to ditch the filibuster and pack the court. Of course, that would require the Democratic party as a whole to show some fight, something they refuse to do for some reason.
To pack the court, Democrats need to secure:
- A House + Senate majority (something they haven’t had since 2009-2011)
- A wide enough majority in both that no small caucus could hold the vote hostage for a personal agenda (something they haven’t had since Jimmy Carter)
- A president with a platform built on disruptive change rather than stability (which they haven’t had since FDR)
- A plan to keep Republicans out of office permanently so that they can never wield this new power in retaliation (even Lincoln messed up on that one)
They need more than just a git-r-dun attitude. Remaking the SCOTUS (rather than waiting it out) means throwing the old government away and starting over.
Gotta do the same for the senate and state legislatures (including governors). Redrawing state lines is not simple.
