No need to. Biden can have the 6 corrupt justices killed. He has the immunity and he can pick new justices. If members of the senate refuse to put the new justices on the bench, have them killed too. No rules anymore.

Strategically speaking liberal politicians are backed into a corner and only have two real options:

  1. Seize control preemptively, promoting conservative conspiracy to prophecy, and likely inciting CW2.

  2. Hand over full control come January and hope they continue to maintain some privilege under a new regime.

They're already in check, but more concerned with soliciting large donations and collecting hot stick tips.

Option 2 is suicide. I guess that's it for American Democracy. Of course, option 3 being that the Democrats win every election until the Republican party collapses. At which point the Democratic party will likely split, with one part becoming a moderate party, and the other half absorbing the remains of the Republican party.
