3 SCOTUS picks in 4 years and a lot of the shit happening now is the direct result of that.
Imagine what a 7-2 (or 8-1) Conservative Supreme Court would do...
It’ll be worse than that. If Trump wins in the fall, it’ll be due to Democratic abstentions. The downballot effects would likely result in Republican control of Congress.
They’ll be able to expand and pack the court all they’d like with Senate and House majority.
They won't even need to pack the court, although nothing would surprise me. They would use their position to further suppress the votes of the less wealthy, making it less likely for them to lose power. They would further dismantle education creating a less educated population to keep them in power forever.
No thanks
