    Fuck's sake. : |

    Who is going to enforce the ethics code? The whole point o the SCOTUS is a complete lack of accountability.

      Dems: "Arsonists - be on notice! We shall fine you for every act of arson you commit!"

      Arsonists: "How much will the fine—. You know what? Why am I even asking? I'll ignore you and set more fires."

      Dems: "Have you no shame!

      Arsonists: "Nope. Look, I've love to keep talking but I have to go. I have new fires to start."

      NEW: Rep Joe Morelle (D-NY)

      “I will introduce a constitutional amendment to reverse SCOTUS’ harmful decision and ensure that no president is above the law. This amendment will do what SCOTUS failed to do—prioritize our democracy”

      This is how you build popular support for expanding the court. You do everything possible keep the issue alive.

      You don't just say "that won't work" about messaging bills. Because you can easily say the same thing about packing the court right now.

        dear liberals,

        apparently no one told you this, but actually you can just pack the courts. you don't need to talk about it. you don't need permission. just fucking do it.

        sincerely, people who don't love eating shit

          The government doesn't want you to know this, but the scotus seats at the park are free. You can just sit people in them. I have filled 487 scotus seats.

          "We're going to get the numbers we need to do a constitutional amendment but also democracy is on the brink of destruction! Both of these things can be true!"

          Ugh.

        Here's a comment from a different thread.

        This will at least put the Rs on record.

        And I bet history will judge them harshly too, huh.

        Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
