Without court expansion, any significant legislation will either:
1) be blocked by the filibuster, or
2) overturned by the corrupt Roberts court
That means:
No codifying Roe
No new Voting Rights Act
No substantive action on climate change
No restrictions or regulations on the billionaires robbing America
It will mean gridlock politics-as-usual, pleasing only the billionaires and oligarchs, and further reducing the Democratic Party in the eyes of the voters.
The only way Democrats can convince voters they are fighters, is to push for court expansion to remove the obstructions for good governance that benefits the people.
I cant think of a worse disaster than Americans continuing to suffer the consequences of the Trump era for decades after he is out of office.
