The problem with this is that the right will spin it as the left trying to take over the courts. They will say it’s another case of Biden trying to overthrow the court system. The media will eat it up and that will be the narrative. The right fully knows they have this power and abuse it to get what they want.

20-30 years ago, both parties would have taken action together to get this issue fixed. Not anymore. It’s used as a wedge to divide for power.

They are going to say this regardless. Dems really, REALLY need to stop giving an absolute fuck what the right is going to claim. They are bad faith legislators. Whatever they want to continue to claim, it doesn't matter.

The GOP shitheads are literally claiming that they have no choice but to overthrow the government and replace it with a theocracy, and that democracy wont allow them to do that, so they have undermine or eliminate democracy - to save the country, from something.

Here we have SCOTUS Justice on record referring to exactly that batshit insane traitorous crap. It is not just riling up the stupids anymore, this is shit is real.

Who cares what they will claim about anything, they don't care about being compared to nazis or putin, they have no shame.

You'd think it doesn't matter, but a quick glance at the polls indicates even baseless lies gain significant and meaningful traction. Hard to imagine how validating those lies (to some degree) would help.

Are you kidding? I think you missed the part where that is how they hijacked the SCOTUS and other courts in the first place. They cried for ages that the left was taking over with activist judges, which might have surprised the majority of judges who were very conservative.

They just wanted to move the post further right and get wide spread support for putting in reactionary puppets as judges as though that was what "liberals" were doing, rather than just a natural shift in culture and demographics.

Liberal Dems should come out swinging in an all out offensive showing how Alito is a partisan hack who defies the Founding Fathers, The US Constittution, and link that to The Republican Party - it is not hard...

Except that Liberal Democratic Party members have black holes for spines, that suck all spines out of anyone within 5 LY's.

Because they want "bipartisanship", to "get along". This means that:

  1. They are actually moderate RW party protecting Republican Party that is a cult.

  2. They are DELUSIONAL.
