    I think with more state level work, Dems could start flipping more Senate seats. AZ and Georgia are recent examples. But it needs to be a 50 state strategy, and too often people just see a red state and throw up their hands as if there’s no way that can change.

      I like your optimism, but there’s no way in hell we’re flipping 16 senators if Jan 6th didn’t even stop the GOP from gaining seats in congress.

      On Jan 6th, I thought that we were finally going to get the GOP to collapse and rebuild from scratch. We literally had congressmen narrowly escape a linching from a violent mob literally smearing shit on the walls of one of our highest institutions.

      And the GOP just steamed along like nothing happened. And are still getting elected to office. And expelled the few Republicans that spoke up. And their base love them for it.

      So no, there’s no path to removing these overtly corrupt SCOTUS judges. Zero. The best we can hope for is Dems getting the majority in congress and achieving a meaningless impeachment that’s nothing but show.
