Unfortunately, Democrats can’t expand the Supreme Court with their current seat count in Congress. But it’s definitely going to be a 2024 campaign issue whether Durbin likes it or not.

Agreed. That is something for us to strive for in 2 years. This court is crazy. I think it might also be a good route to impeach the impeachable and put in a set of rules to live by for the court with oversight.

My understanding Linda is that impeaching a Supreme Court Judge is as easy as impeaching a President. That is a majority in the House and a 2/3 majority in the Senate. If that's true it can't be more difficult (and unrealistic?) to set about more radical efforts to reform the present Supreme Court such as expanding it and getting term limits.

Easier said than done. The SCOTUS has worn a groove of unaccountability. We need bold action from the majority... expansion, oversight, and rules with consequences.
