we gotta expand the entire federal judiciary https://twitter.com/leslieproll/status/1319283929820450816

only way to deal with the fact that trump, mcconnell and the republican party have given LIFETIME APPOINTMENTS to thirty-something right-wing legal hacks

I wrote about this recently. There’s a perfectly nonpartisan and pragmatic case for overhauling the entire federal judiciary and expanding it to keep pace with a growing population and correspondingly large case loads. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/09/opinion/court-packing-amy-coney-barrett.html

the larger point is that across the american political system republicans are relying on stasis to maintain their power. a static house, a static senate, a static judiciary, a static number of states. there’s no reason to let them have that stasis.
