    Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
    How about changing the way we pick Justices so we depoliticize the Court?

    Kavanaugh was a terrible choice. The guy is a pygmy next to the man he replaced. Maybe we should have selected his buddy "Squee."

    Nah, Ted Cruz. The man understands the Constitution better than probably anyone. He would actually do what a SC Justice should do.

    When Democrats “win elections” will you advise Republicans not to complain when Democrats add two states, increase the size of the HoR and add several justices to the SCOTUS?

    The founders were correct, the two party system will be what ultimately dismantles the United States. To thunderous applause it seems.

    I like the D's much better, but YES. It is way past time to get rid of the old Dem leadership, starting with Pelosi.

    You will need a lot of wins for that and a veto proof Senate. Good luck with that...

    States can be added by a simple majority of Congress. 50% +1 in both Houses.

    Congress

    I am against packing the court, watch your false accusations. Doing so would irreparably damage the thin string we are hanging by — but I was also against the way Garland was blocked by a single man also. The idea that we can ever come back together as a United States is becoming a distant memory.

    Personally, I hope Mitch ram through one of the most extreme partisan judges imaginable.
    Why not at this point? Y’all have worked hard to divide the nation further, might as well pull out the last few stops.

    When Democrats “win elections” will you be saying what you are in this thread?
    Everything I posted is completely constitutional

    You didn’t answer the question.

    Also, why do you feel a veto proof Senate is required for anything I posted?

    Garland was blocked by more then one guy. The american people have the Semate to the GOP and they followed the Biden Rule

    mitch and the gop tried to bring the nation together by doing what you all wanted and ending the biden rule

    You won't get anything done without the Senate. The filibuster would be more dangerous than any other threat. None of this matters, you folks need to win the White House first. Get back to me on that...

    Can't say about Cruz, but he is a religious nutball and I suspect he listens to his Imaginary Friend.

    They are not “coming” from anywhere. Or are you asking what to states I am referring to? If so Puerto Rico and DC are the easiest and both would prove to be liberal.

    Your statement that Garland was blocked by “more than one guy“ is false.

    Will you be supportive of the numerous measures I listed because the people gave Democrats control for a single election cycle?
    A yes or no answer would be appropriate

    Do you really believe Democrats will never hold both chambers of congress and the Presidency again?

    Why can you not answer the question?
    It is fairly simple and straightforward...

    The one thing Trump did partially correct--he didn't quarantine Americans returning from China. I guess he figured it was the "Chinese Virus" and we wouldn't catch it.
