President Biden said he won’t expand the Supreme Court because doing so would “politicize” the court in an unhealthy way. But it’s a political institution by its nature — and a disturbingly undemocratic one.

    and centrist Washington Democrats sit around doing nothing

    Democrats have only the slimmest possible Senate majority and lost the House majority. If voters don’t give them the tools to unfuck what Republicans do, it’s not the Democrats fault.

    You voters gave Republicans 3 Surpreme court judges. It was your fault in 2016, it is your responsibility to fix it. You can’t blame democrats for “doing nothing” when you don’t let them do anything

      It is their fault, because if the Republicans were in the same position, they would be trying every single trick in the book, pulling in every favour, possible to get their way.

        “Republicans are a hateful group that can always settle on the worst politics imaginable. Why can’t democrats be like that?”

        Gee, I wonder why.

        But since you admire Republicans so much, here, have a proper “Biden Criticism Guide”. You seem to follow it verbatim for some reason.
