    They might reform SCOTUS now that their careers, and possibly their very lives, depend on it.

    I do fear they might not do enough. The damage caused by allowing this Supreme Court to run amok is overwhelming and might not be easily reversible. They need to not merely add term limits and expand the court (possibly to over a hundred) and mandate an enforceable code of ethics, but it may be time to strip SCOTUS of jurisdiction so that they no longer have total veto power over legislation and executive action.

    Curiously, term limits might require an amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Stripping them of jurisdiction only requires legislation.

      They might

      Since you just repeated yourself I’m just going to repeat myself.

      They won’t. You know they won’t. Stop trying to pretend like you think otherwise. Nobody is buying it.

      Trump was convicted of 34 felonies and we depended on Democrats to make sure he was sentenced. They did not.
