10. Wait, WHAAAT?!?

I’ve read so many threads over the past several years that assert, with 100% certainty, that Meek Merrick Garland is the One and Only True Villain of this story…

And now you come along and tell me that no, it’s actually John Roberts and the corrupt MAGA majority on SCOTUS who are the ones to blame?

Well, that changes everything…

This member of the reality-based community thanks you for your rational perspective.



PS: court expansion, and killing the filibuster to do so, must be THE litmus test for every primary candidate running for congress or senate.

Without court expansion Dems, once back in power, will be blocked from repairing the damage of the Trump era and restoring Democracy.
