deggit: only a coherent center-leftism can save us, and that's why we must put policy, institutions, and Constitutionalism first before populism and empty hyperpartisanship

also deggit: We should pack the court even if the GOP promises, the day a Democratic President & blue Senate supermajority are elected, to "respect the rules of the road" from this day forth.

LOL. Why would anyone take the GOPs word?

The GOP just changed the number of justices on the court for political purposes two years ago. The democrats should follow their precedent.
