38. People can get pissed all they want
Just like said in his speech the other day, it's up to us. WE have to vote these assholes out. If we do, there will be no need to pack the court because congress would have the power to codify Roe amongst other things. Like many have said, the Supremes have bosses whether they like it or not. WE are the ultimate deciders. If we are willing to GOTV and give our representatives the power to check these religious nut jobs they can be ignored, Lincoln style.
Biden knows there is no way in hell he can pack the court right now, it will not and can't happen if he tried without trying to declare a hole lot of shit starting emergency crap that in the end would make him no different than his predecessor. If the people vote a mandate in the midterms, and overwhelmingly prove to the government this is what we want, we gave you the power now, I have no doubt he and congress would not just codify, but I believe they would cut the Supremes at the knees and not only pack the court but re-organize the entire federal judicial system ala Lincoln. It's up to us and that's what Joe is saying. Preserving democracy via legal loopholes, legal tricks, is no way to preserve democracy. It must be preserved, in the end, by the people and for the people. I believe that, and I think thats where his heads at. Damn near 80 million of us showed up in 2020 to do just that. The jobs not done. No excuses. |
