    A republican supreme court he could have simply packed. I thought he had enough moderates to forcibly bump up the number of justices; at which point the court wouldn’t have been controlled; but I guess the democrat party makes more money losing than they do shaking off their martyr complex and actually putting in work for the people that got them elected.

      I don’t think Manchin and Sinema would go for court packing. And I’d count on zero republicans to vote with that. Who exactly are these moderates you were thinking of?

        Every single peckerwood that persecuted the squad, all those genocide-enablers Biden would’ve rather worked with to ship ammo, weapons, and assorted materiel to an illegitimate supremacist state, y’know, those so-called “moderates”. What’s good, you-- [gasp] didn’t have the support you thought you did? Color me shocked.

        Almost like when your party repeatedly, routinely disavows the only part of the nation’s political system that thinks forward, you lose your chances for everything from legislation to re-election!

          Who the fuck do you think you’re talking to? I’m saying those moderates don’t exist, that that support doesn’t exist for packing the court. You’re blaming me for saying they do exist, and that the support for packing the court wasn’t there when I said it was? But I didn’t fucking say that support was there dumbass.
