The Supreme Court, the "guardians" of our national legal system, has been turned into the local high school seniors painting their class year on a rock. Biden may as well expand the Court now. It's what Mitch would do.

I agree with you - particularly the part about Congress letting the Court take the "tough votes" and allowing it settle the tough issues instead legislating - since justices are never up for re-election or have voters to answer to if they compromise.

 

Until a pumpkin can condescend to a peanut there is no true condescending.

 

That reminds me of how much I loved the Kevin Willmott mockumentary “CSA” that does Ken Burns if the Confederacy had won. We’re not far off at this point.
