No need to. Court will be 6-3 and even if Democrats get 51 seats, several of their members won't drink the kool-aid. The filibuster being removed is unlikely, and stacking the court is even more unlikely.
Reid was warned in 2013 when he removed the fillibuster it would blow up in his face. If you needed any more evidence of that, this is it. Reap what you sow and all that.
Look at how many Republicans voted for Kagan and Sotomayor when they were the minority party. Compare that to Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.
Those 3 seats are basically worthless...they might as well not even show up for work anymore.
Not at all! Like I said, Kagan has sway on this court as does Roberts. These are constitutionalists being put on the court, not activists. You know how they keep saying "this, this and this" will disappear if Trump's judge is put on the court? Yet.... It doesnt. Even Amy Coney Barrett has said Roe is law.

Re: Current Events Thread
So, there are going to be riots tonight.
Aren't there riots almost every night? If you have to board up police precincts and court houses, your audience isn't peaceful. Anyone who paid any attention and got the full facts knew none of these cops were going to be charged with homicide. Can we stop saying she was murdered? It sucks she died, but she did hold money and drugs for her ex-boyfriend. That is all on audio from him running his mouth inside jail over the phone. Her current partner stated he heard knocking, and fired without seeing his target the moment the police broke down the door, hitting a cop in his femoral artery. What does any rationale person think would happen when police legally serve a warrant and one of them is mortally wounded. That doesn't excuse the fired and indicted officer firing at random into neighbor's homes, but Taylor's death was a direct action of her boyfriend. I believe the same thing happened a couple months earlier to a white guy somewhere in the south, but lives only matter if they're black and taken by someone with a badge.

Maybe the same people bailing them out are funding them?
Re: Current Events Thread
From supreme court reporters:
"Brett Kavanaugh may still be reviled in liberal circles. He’s also starting to look like the justice whose vote liberals often will desperately need."
"Trump has privately said he thinks Amy Coney Barrett, 48, is smart, would be good on TV, and won’t be wobbly on big issues important to conservatives, unlike Neil Gorsuch. He has been expressing some disappointment in his 1st SCOTUS pick lately, I’m told."
Lol, he still thinks they're "his" judges.
Re: Current Events Thread
Why does trump keep saying things like he may not step down even if loses the election? Why does he keep talking about a third term?
In what way does he have a choice?
This. Essentially he might go crazy and ask state legislators to insert their own EC. Something about there's nothing verbatim stating that each states EC must be based upon its popular vote. Doesn't say exactly but probably something like 'Based upon the will of the people"

It's fucking crazy.
