@CadessborX @bonchieredstate Isn't the "gun" in your analogy Dems winning office? Republicans have no control over that; voters do.

@irishexit69 @bonchieredstate If you don’t recognize government being the monopoly on violence I don’t know what to tell you. That’s like level .1 in politics

And then no Republican will ever listen to a ruling from that court again.
Good luck with that.
Ro Khanna@RoKhanna
The next Democratic White House does not need a court reform commission like some college seminar. We need action. We need term limits for Justices. We need to expand this morally bankrupt Court from 9 to 13.

Which of these 5 made Warren Buffett a billionaire?
Robert Reich@RBReich
There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

I disagree. But if Khanna insists, maybe add those 4 new justices asap.

@CadessborX @bonchieredstate Your gun analogy makes absolutely no sense.🤣🤣🤣
English
@CadessborX @bonchieredstate Then what are Republicans not giving Democrats in your analogy? What is the proverbial "gun?"

@irishexit69 @bonchieredstate In this scenario republicans would not not rig elections

If you're a Sooner, and you don't say "Sam Hazewinkel" right away every time this question pops up, I don't know what else to tell you.

Newest Democratic idea: "Let's abolish the Virginia state constitution on a partisan majority vote."
You don't fear these people enough.

VA Const. "whenever any government shall be found inadequate or contrary to these purposes, a majority of the community hath an indubitable, inalienable, and indefeasible right to reform, alter, or abolish it, in such manner as shall be judged most conducive to the public weal."

@CadessborX @bonchieredstate Odd way of saying Republicans will rig elections.
English
@bonchieredstate Democrats “ the second you hand me that gun I’m gonna use it on you “
Republicans “ you realize that’s an argument for me to not give it to you right ?”
English
@bonchieredstate Republicans certainly would comply with legally passed legislation reforming SCOTUS. They're the party of law & order.
English
@neontaster I'm sure you would've voted democrat if Platner was not the candidate.😂😂😂
English
I don't buy Sarah Longwell's "Platner apologized and deserves grace" argument because if the person apologizing for a Nazi tattoo were running as a republican, she would have used his politics as evidence that he wasn't contrite enough to earn that same grace.
English
@AGHamilton29 Passing legislation = "undermining the institution"
🤣🤣🤣
English
Why not propose to expand the court next week? Why wait for the next Dem White House?
Unless this isn't a principled reform, but an attempt to undermine the institution and seize power...

English
@sunnyright Republicans already have the majority of SCOTUS. How would expanding to 13 help?
English
Yes, let’s expand it now to 13 justices. Let’s do it tomorrow. Since this is definitely about principle and not a raw power grab by desperate losers

@benljohnson1996 Tried it for a couple years and got no benefits. Not in the gym, not with my sleep, not with my mood. Not sure why, but I'm done with the experiment.
English
A client asked me about TRT use the other day
I’ve known a lot of guys who take it, particularly once they turn 40+
I always thought I’d take steroids one day
But once I actually learnt to train properly, I got a lot stronger than younger me thought possible
I don’t think loss of fertility, balding, shrunken testicles and dependence on a potentially addictive substance is worth the tradeoff
Most guys take it and are still weak anyway
Just learn to train properly

Why is everyone on X on TRT lol

@RameshPonnuru No reason to do it now when SCOTUS already favors republicans.

@ImNotOwned One is legal (assuming SCOTUS reform legislation is passed), and one is not.

@irishexit69 Yea “nuances of Purcell” = the law. Voters can think whatever they want, but lawyers have a responsibility to not misstate the law.
English
Correct. But the folks misstating Purcell, of course, know that and want people to think that courts are just regular partisans.
Sean T at RCP@SeanTrende
So this isn’t what Purcell says and it gets confused all the time. Purcell says federal courts won’t *order* changes to state administrative procedures close to an election. It says absolutely nothing about states’ own abilities to change those procedures on their own.

@greggnunziata You don't tear down an old house, but you can fix it up.
English
The Supreme Court is not only a legitimate institution, it is a higher functioning institution than Congress or the presidency, by a mile. Tear it down at great peril.

@bonchieredstate Its funnier when you remember these people think you can gerrymander the Senate

The 2030 census is going to hit these people like a ton of bricks.
Supreme Leader Gerald Flower@TheRealP4triot
@tedlieu If you think the game isn't rigged against you, you're dead wrong The only reason Republicans have been able to control the House is due to Gerrymandering And now that Trump is shitting the bed during his 2nd term, they're redrawing the maps again in front of our eyes. Classic.
