As far as I can tell, different faces, but same old, same old… I mean, literally anyone is better than Biden at the job, considering age…

What do dems worry about her?

    I would go so far as to say that it’s vital that Biden handles court reform, because it has to be done before the election.

    We can already be sure that Trump and his backers are planning legal challenges on whatever grounds might vaguely appear to be something resembling legitimate in the event that he loses, and we can also be sure that at least Thomas and Alito will rule in their favor, no matter how ludicrous their arguments might be, simply because they’re entirely and completely compromised. They’ve already demonstrated that law is irrelevant - that they serve demagoguery, shallow self-interest, bigotry and corruption. And given the chance, they WILL do their parts to destroy democracy in the US.

    We can’t afford to give them the chance.

    And that could be Biden’s legacy - the president who led the efforts that saved America from a fascist coup.

      What do you think Biden will be able to on court reform without a supermajority in the House and Senate?

      The court reform announcement is entirely an aspirational effort. “Just think what we could do if you get out and vote.”

      I think that, like it or not, the legal landscape today is what we have to contend with this election cycle.
