In reply to the discussion: Are Alito and others really this ignorant about the constitution? [View all]jaxexpat
(7,794 posts)34. "The Constitution allows for things to change." You got that right.
Whether it's adding on more justices or simply removing some unsavory justices lurking in Justices' robes, all options for repair require majorities of substance in both houses and the executive. All that is required is prodding, cajoling or convincing a majority of voters to ignore the well-packaged lies from the right and vote Democratic. Oh, and then, of course, assure that the newly hatched majority doesn't run amok. Flight is so often grasped from gravity in the very nick of time by hatchlings just off the campaign trail.
