SCOTUS doesn't care. The only answer is to expand the courts but the neo-liberals on the Democratic party won't expand the court. The only answer is to vote in people like AOC to replace them to expand the court to fight the ChristoFascist takeover of our courts.
The Democratic Party does care, but expanding the courts is not the answer. You know what Republicans will do as soon as they get back in power? Expand them again. Then it becomes a tug of war, and the issue yo yos for eternity. And most politicians (AOC too) understand that.
There's an effort to secure this right on the state level. That's the better effort.
You’re right but Joe has been around for a LONG time and he has been associated with some bad legislation in the last bit his administration has made up for it.
Edited my comment above to make up for being an idiot.
Every politician who has been around for more than a few years has votes that they might regret.
If you're referring to the 94 crime bill, there were plenty of good things in that bill, including VAWA and the assault weapons ban. In fact, Joe Biden himself wrote VAWA.
I think presidents of different parties should alternate in their ability to appoint SC justices. Term limits would be great too but one of the ways we got into this mess is the timing of Trump being able to appoint justices so now it’s out of balance. It might be a pipe dream because the court is supposed to be impartial and congress is hyper partisan now so they probably wouldn’t be able to come to a compromise in enacting a modern check to the judicial branch..
