With at least two known sexual predators on the court...anything they decide will be ignored

1. Will be a good thing if it leads to us expanding the court

and adding states to the union.

2. I've come to take any kind of "maybe this will wake up the apathetic American electorate" theory

with a healthy pinch of salt. If we can eventually extract some kind of progress out of this whole mess, or at least if future generations can learn from it all, I'm all for it, but frankly this sounds a little bit Sarandonesque to me (like, "some people say if [redacted] is elected, The Revolution will start immediately!&quot if you're talking about living in a country where kleptocratic minority rule is propped up by a compromised judiciary, that kind of happy horseshit doesn't hold a lot of water while jackbooted thugs are hauling you away as a dissident, ICE is ripping your neighbors' children away and sending them to concentration camps in the desert, or screeching christofascists are stomping all over your reproductive rights.

3. The Supreme Court has been illegitimate since Bush v Gore.

5. Yes. n/t

7. Yep. It has become a political arm and should be treated as such

6. His vote should be disregarded by states.

Approach it as a 8 seat court.

In a 4-4 decision the lower court ruling should stand.
