Where are we with this? I’ve been tuning it out because it’s some whole ass bullshyt to try to do this less than a month from election. Is she really going to be conferred?

Feinstein should have lost her seat years ago. Obama stayed propping this corporate geriatric up. :scust: Exact reason there needs to be term limits. She doesn’t even have a JD why is she the ranking Democrat on that committee
This is why the court needs limits too. Everybody talking about conservative and liberal judges, I don’t need someone who was liberal by 1950 standards making laws for me in 2020.

To pass a constitutional amendment you need both the house and senate to pass and of course 2/3rds of the 50 state legislatures to pass it. Democrats need to expand the court to 13 or 15. And to make sure the Republicans never get the trifecta to expand the courts themselves they should expand the senate. End the filibuster. Uncap the House of Representatives, expand voting rights to make it even harder for the Republicans to ever win another election ever again. This would prevent the fear of Republicans winning ever again. We are facing a major political realignment so Dems need to go big. If they don’t event try go big like when Obama got the supermajority the base will not show in 2022 and 2024.

Most voters (except Black voters) are against court packing :francis:
