Stack the court how? Congress can set a different number, what’s the plan to get it through the House and Senate?

pull out every single stop

Like what? You don’t have the numbers. This is my issue, this is the equivalent of saying “stuff, just do stuff”.

At the end of the day, republicans and dinos are just looking out for their own self interest. I don’t care if we need to rebuild Epstein’s Island and dedicate most of an annual military budget to get them on our side, we do it.

But also? As I have repeatedly alluded to: The Supreme Court just ruled that anything the president does is legal. Up to and including siccing seal team six on a political rival.

Yes, the Supreme Court are the ones who eventually decide if something counted as an official act. But there are supreme court approved ways to create openings to get more legal minded justices on the bench.

Here’s the problem, they understand the power of the Supreme Court. There’s nothing you can offer them to untie this particular knot, none of them are voting to expand the court.

And you continue to ignore the supreme court sanctioned method of “cutting the gordian knot” with seal team six.

So it is very clear you are not arguing in good faith since you continue to focus on how there is nothing that can be done so let’s turn the other cheek so that we leave nice corpses for the republicans.

The President no longer needs to get anything through Congress. He can just do it unilaterally and dare SCOTUS to overturn its own recent opinion.

But he actually can’t. He can’t expand the court and he can’t seat justices. You’re just saying nonsense.

You really need to read Sotomayor’s dissent in Trump v. United States.

He may need Congress’ “consent” for some things but he can Seal Team Six any Congressperson who doesn’t “consent,” so effectively he can do whatever he wants.
