if the knicks win for the first time since 1973 we're bringing back subway graffiti and kicking out all the oligarchs investing in unused midtown terrace lofts. times square will revert to its natural roots as a porn emporium
INJECT IT DIRECTLY INTO MY VEINS PLEASE
It has been extremely convenient for Democrats to have an entire electorate whose only choice is between them and autocracy. and I guess they never took seriously the idea that their opposition could actually succeed at destroying democracy and cut Dems out of politics permanently.
COUNTERPOINT: Expanding and rebalancing the Court was fully justified by 2017 and needs no further justification but if it did Callais would do nicely.
A single political party controlling the Court for 56 consecutive years even while losing 7 of 8 popular votes for president is reason enough.
what do you mean SCOTUS invalidated and ignored yet another law that congress passed?! i was informed on the very good authority that we dont need court reform bc congress can just pass more laws!
We are right in the middle of a judicial nullification crisis where a far-right Supreme Court majority simply invents extralegal bases to impose policies it wants, and simply erases statutes and constitutional protections it doesn't.
That's the anti-constitutional legacy of the Roberts Court.
i think what has pushed me into doomerism atm is that at least 1/2 of the USA's 2-party democratic system has been a consistent movement of anti-democracy for its entire existence. and the nominally pro-democracy half just keeps allowing them to exist and hold power while trying to destroy democracy
that's not actually a 2-party system of democracy, its a Cold Civil War, and no one gets democracy. In states held by the anti-democracy activists they actively suppress all opposition political power. And for voters who like democracy and human rights we rarely get to make real choices
like, his argument is plainly repugnant. also he did a bad job of making it
No. You worry about the slippery slope when you aren't already at the bottom of the chasm.
Now? An ideological Supreme Court is discarding settled precedent on a whim, bad reasoning and worse history, and stacking the deck further with unreasoned shadow docket fuckery. Fuck the slippery slope.

"Court-packing would create a slippery slope to the destruction of judicial review...To the extent Callais is a problem, it can be better addressed by steps such as banning gerrymandering. There are also better remedies for various other shortcomings of the Court," writes @ilyasomin.bsky.social.
