Pack the Supreme Court [View all]

We had the chance, and many Democrats pushed for it when we got control of the House, Senate and White House between 2020 and 2022. It would be a bold move, and there's some risk involved but this is what we need.

Break the filibuster to pack the court with the most progressive, liberal justices we can find.

If Democrats had been bold enough to do what they could have done, and needed to do during that period of time, we would not be where we are now. Trump would have been prosecuted on the indictments for January 6th long before he could be re-elected, and the court would have reversed the Roe decision and Citizens United, there would have been no Presidential immunity and voting rights would be protected. If only, huh?

No more politics as usual.
