All it would require Is a simple majority in congress + the senate and Bidens signature.


Rathinor posted...
If Dems win a senate majority, yes. Legislative filibuster is only held in place because of mutually assured destruction basically. It's a simple majority vote

That needs to happen

Obama recently said that the Democrats should eliminate the filibuster if they take power in the senate. If he's saying it then a lot of other Democrats will.

You're gonna start seeing court packing become a way more popular talking point in the next few weeks as well. Sanders and Buttigieg both advocated for it during the primary IIRC

I think the feeling is that no one really wants to do it or should do it but that this is a once in a lifetime kinda thing

Yeah, Amy McGrath's only discernable skill is a nearly unparalleled ability to set cash on fire. She literally only beat Charles Booker by 4 points despite outspending him 20-to-1. She's currently down double digits despite being flush with cash: in other words, don't waste your money. Let's run through some of the rest....

The Loaded/Advantaged
CO - John Hickenlooper
ME - Sarah Gideon
NC - Cal Cunningham
AZ - Mark Kelly
These campaigns are flush with cash and currently in the lead. They're probably fine.

The Pushes
MT - Steve Bullock
IA - Theresa Greenfield
GA - Jon Ossoff
GA - Raphael Warnock
Bullock's probably pretty set(Montana is a cheap media market), but all of these races appear close.

The Longshots
AL - Doug Jones(inc.)
TX - M.J. Hegar
KS - Barbara Bollier
AK - Al Gross
SC - Jamie Harrison
These are candidates who are more likely to lose than not, but could conceivably win, or at least help shore up things down-ballot.

Progressive Moonshots
TN - Marquita Bradshaw
WV - Paula Jean Swearingin
These two ladies are cool and awesome, but likely doomed by running in ruby red states, before even considering other factors. However, unlike Amy McGrath, they're losing while having relatively little cash, so giving them money would probably help. Just not enough, but even unsuccessful state-level bids can help down-ballot.

RBG should have retired before Trump won but didn't either because selfish and wanted to keep her job or cocky thinking Hillary would beat Trump. It's entirely self-inflicted. 3rd Trump SCOTUS confirmed before election and probably another one after Trump is re-elected. Tears are delicious.

The SC is already conservative-heavy, they could technically already do that, couldn't they?

instead we're going to get majority decisions that are way more controversial now, like "Trump can totally have 3 terms" or "what constitution, god-emperor Trump?"

This is what we get for allowing lifelong appointments and letting justices have bias.

No, actually she addressed this talking point and cited the Republican Senate that came to power in 2010 as the reason she didn't retire.

The R's would have some say in the selection of the replacement. She could be replaced with a moderate judge at worst. She gambled it would be better to wait for a better opportunity to retire. It was folly to do this. She could have retired ages ago when she knew she had cancer but she held on to her seat for self serving reasons. This was entirely self inflicted like I said earlier. President Trump already knew this was coming, this is only the beginning.

we have Nazi rallies across the country, we have police being bros to the Nazis in said rallies, we have wannabe-patriots shooting people in the street, we have camps where asylum seekers are concentrated and mass sterilizations happen there, and babies are routinely separated from their mothers arms forever as a deterrent.

all of the above were unthinkable in 2014. All of the above sounds like a vasty different country from what we used to be.

so dont tell me my post is far fetched
