All they have to do is trot out Joe Manchin to kill it, and they can say they tried really hard but if you want to see this happen you need to :vote: harder in 2022.
It is the year 2072. Democrats control all 100 seats in the senate after an unprecedented victory in the previous year's midterm elections. The senate has convened to vote on a historic piece of legislation that would make it illegal for the largest rideshare companies to use the charred remains of their oldest drivers as fuel once they are euthanized upon reaching retirement age.
While all 100 Democratic senators have previously throughout the campaign season expressed support for this landmark bill, it seems that it is becoming more and more unlikely to pass as concerns mount among the hundred most conservative senators in the party. Senators Joe Manchin VIII and Joe 'Junior' Lieberman have made statements that the bill may be too radical to pass. The remaining 98 senators have expressed similar concerns after Uber and Lyft made public statements expressing their plans to close the lobbying departments within their companies if the bill goes into effect.
Democratic Senate entirety leader Paul Joseph Watson has expressed to the public that if they wish for a similar bill to pass in the future, they must turn out for the 2074 general election to elect more senators friendly to their agenda.
In other news, long retired former senator Mitch McConnell has recently announced his plans to reenter politics and run for senate once again after polls showed him ahead of his incumbent opponent by over 40 points.
In the Senate, the bill is being championed by Ed Markey of Massachusetts.
Pretty much how you know it's DOA. Markey isn't even on the Judiciary committee. If this bill had legs, it would at least get the backing of Leahy or Booker. Nevermind Manchin, this is going to get killed by freshman judiciary committee member Jon Ossoff.
If there's an honest attempt at bipartisanship he might. What if they're four republican justices?
If they go through with this, I 100% believe they will make two of the four new justices conservative. Imagine how long the Sorkin libs would be able to milk that. They'd be reverently congratulating themselves on the high quality of their moral character well into whatever fascist regime ends up succeeding their current collapsing system.

I wonder what it's like to work at such a battleground of a job. Like every new coworker you get you think "I hate this motherfucker and everything he stands for" but you have to pretend to tolerate them so the legitimacy of the state doesn't implode. AND you have to wear silly outfits.
Nah, they'll add 3 'liberal' ones and an independent 'for balance'
Composition would be 6 dems, 6 rs, 1 independent.

Six Harvard Grads, Six Yale Grads, and 1 from Columbia.
it's pretty much the only thing their suburban base really wants.
Libs are so civility cucked that I bet more than half oppose it because its "not fair" or some shit.
Didn't they say they were trying to get rid of the filibuster recently? Did that ever go anywhere?
Not yet, and Manchin's still digging in on "no filibuster reform." Like maybe they twist his arm on it but I think they're just gonna give up.
Adding justices is bad though. It just makes it so any change will be even more incremental. It basically guarantees a conservative court until there isn't one anymore.
Any change will be incremental because the people implementing the changes are incrementalists. The number of judges doesn't matter. They could double the size of the SCOTUS and we'd still just have a bench full of Merrick Garlands.
Why, are the dems trying to add a dog onto the court?
Poggers if so
Also doesn't really make sense, does this article have anything to do with veganism? I couldn't see the connection
