I also completely agree with Dems voting to fix the damage, but it's gonna take a LONG time. But a question: Is this the part on Mona that you disagree with: "Mona didn't say all is good. She said no laws were broken, and she's correct. But she also noted the impropriety of Thomas' action, which she is of course right there as well"?

Ah, at the level of state governments, you are right. But I thought we were talking about the SCOTUS. To tip the balance there will take a long time.

Thx for the Fortune article. Will read.

No I am not playing a game. I'm trying to understand what you are saying.

Question: How will the Dem majority in both chambers fix SCOTUS?

SCOTUS needs at least 13 judges, one per appellate district. There are 10,000 cases a year (I think that's fairly accurate) that go up to SCOTUS and they typically take 300 or fewer a year. And the type of cases that can go to them are limited to begin with. So it isn't sustainable. And there need to be rules so one moron cannot push through three lifetime judges, fit or unfit.
