Mark my words. People will be laying down blocking senators from entering the building, room, halls where ever they have to to try and stop them from voting.
When people start losing their freedoms because the supreme court is too far to the Right and not more balanced as it should be, they'll be more inclined to not vote in those people and types of people who made that type of court possible.
But as mentioned, what Biden needs to do when the Dems end up taking the Senate either in 2020 or 2022, push congress to finally make Puerto Rico a state, it's deplorable that Puerto Ricans are treated as second-class citizens. He should also push to make DC it's own state, it's time.
I don’t believe Washington DC itself could be a state. It’s in the constitution. But what they could do it create a new state out of what is currently considered Washington DC and just make DC the mall and congressional building where people don’t live. People were never meant to live in DC anyways. Could make it like North Virginia or South Maryland or something. Could also add Guam.
The Supreme Court should have 9-0 conservative* majority. Judicial activism at the federal level should never be a thing. It should always be about Original Intent and never judicial activism. Leave that for legislators.
*The political science definition of "conservative." Not the sexist, racist, xenophobic American definition. As in, conserving the law in the most minimalist approach without changing it unless there is a very valid reason. Roe vs. Wade should never have happened. That should have been a legislative change.
That is one of the biggest problems we have with congress now for probably the last 10-12 years. Rather then legislate tough laws they pass it along to the courts or even the president.
Classic case deals with dreamers, DACA isn't legal it was only kept up in a court for moral reasons, in reality the Senate should have passed legislation to handle that problem.
Of course that's just one of MANY that our congress punts on.
Killing innocent defenseless unborn babies. Yeah, apparently that is the "right" we are gonna be losing lol.
Nevermind the fact that the right to life is the most fundamental of all rights. Nah, it's not that. If you support an unborn baby's right to life then it's obvious you just hate women lmao.
Robbie is just fear mongering and projecting of course.They are the two most overused tactics from the left. Everyone knows that it's the left that wants to get rid of individual rights and even the Constiturion itself that , in their minds, is just a piece of paper written by a bunch of racist old white men.
It's so adorable when leftists like Robbie suddenly pretend to care about our rights which are laid out in our founding documents; documents which we all know that they want to do away with.

One of my political science professors (wish I could dox him and put his name out there because he should have his own YouTube channel where he talks about all this stuff but he's too shy - prefers the classroom) went into details about this. He pointed out that the most powerful branch of government is he legislative branch and it is the most powerful by design: it technically represents the voice of the people so it should be the loudest.
If the legislative branch is united, they could literally rule over the entire country by changing the constitution, getting rid of the president, getting rid of the Justices, etc. They control it all. The Founders were counting on a lack of unity to keep the legislative branch in check. Because if 70 senators are united on almost all issues, they effectively become the leaders of the country immediately. That's enough for any constitutional changes, overrides of vetos, cloture votes, any legislation changes, etc.
Your deflection aside, you probably don't have to worry about the Supreme Court ruling what you can and can't do with our own body or who you can or can't marry, as two examples.
McConneel in 2016: "The American people are perfectly capable of having their say on this issue, so let's give them a voice. Let's let the American people decide. The Senate will appropriately revisit the matter when it considers the qualifications of the nominee the next president nominates, whoever that might be."
^It was all about letting the voters have a say in regards to the nect SC justice in 2016 as the reason why McConnell would not even allow Obama's pick to go to a vote. See, pay no mind to KMC Trumper's shit-weasel speak.
