With Joe stepping down and a surge of support for Kamala, is there a point where the Supreme Court has to accept they’re not winning this time and switch to clean house of people who overplayed their hand?
They don’t even need violence. Just an official act that decrees that only 3 specific justices have case voting power. The other six are just non-voting members. Effective immediately.
If Democrats are ever lucky enough to get 2/3rds of the Senate (and 51% of the House), at that point the Supreme Court might start to think twice about their decisions.
Grossly unlikely. We’re likely to see the country continue to consolidate most of the population into a few states. We could be seeing a situation in the next few cycles where it’s outright impossible for Democrats to win the senate while blowing out the House and Presidential vote.

What? No, definitely not. They’re appointed for life and don’t have to give a shit about anything Kamala could possibly do.
(Well, short of using the immunity they gave Trump to Seal Team Six them, I guess, but no Democrat is likely to do that and they know it.)
Honestly this is what pisses me off.
When an opponent who literally wants you or yours dead hands you a gun, shoot them with it. Because if you don’t shoot, they will.
Republicans have handed democrats so many tools over the years they could easily wield against Republicans… But they don’t.
They take the “high road.”
The Moral High Road is Filled With Corpses.

Edit: unfortunately unlikely, though

Gerrymandering has made it impossible to “blow out” the House too.
That only goes so far, and it’s slowly being dismantled.
That’s optimistic. It’s a constant battle.
