There's no check. They hold lifetime tenure.
13 states have trigger laws and Pence said there needs to be a national ban. There's no reason to think that a court that leapt over a 50 year old precedent at the first possible instance will rest content with that.
There's no check. They hold lifetime tenure.
Pence will never ever be elected again
Shocking you weren't appointed by Biden for SCOTUS. I guess they didn't need any spaghetti delivered on bicycle.
They built the system in a way to get their way. The dems, even with a super majority, can't really do . The dems are notorious for sitting on their hands and ing about what the GOP is doing.
This is a good point. Democratic norms and values didn't protect anyone from the feral, anti-majoritarian sadism of the GOP. The Dems need to start taking exercising power much more seriously.

This is such an embarrassing almost parody of the "do something" twitter leftists. Then when you ask what the something is, its usually tatamount to throwing some sort of tantrum which will somehow make Republicans go away or something whihc anyone who passed a high school history knows can't happen lmao
Your response is ironic
"the dems need to"...
News flash, you're a dem too.
what do you suggest be done?
DMC is all bark and no bite
I had a couple of direct suggestions about what could be done on the previous page, btw. Both in principle are politically viable, given the political will to do them.
1. Congress passes a law restricting SCOTUS to its original jurisdiction and strips it of judicial review;
2. Congress passes a law expanding SCOTUS.
Neither of those things would be a tantrum or magical thinking. They would be direct applications of majority power.
Both of those things are straightforwardly supported by the letter of the US Cons ution
Of course they can, and have done so in the past. They don't have that at the moment though.
Unfortunately, national Democratic party politicians are basically unwilling to use political power to vindicate the rights of the people they represent, they are mostly content to fundraise off it.
What's the Democratic Party plan? it's not like they had no forewarning on this.
Pussy hats and parade placards ain't gettin 'er done.
This is a great opportunity to size leadership there. It is up for the taking now... who's going to step up to the plate? Joe and Pelosi ain't doing it.
btw, at the precinct level, any organized group of a dozen or two can take over. , Bernie's crew basically took over the Nevada operation in 2016 before the DNC put the kibosh on that.
3. Congress passes laws codifying Roe, Casey, Obergefell and Griswold.
