Genuinely, the MODERATE Dem position for 2028 needs to be - packing courts - imprisonment of every Trump cabinet member - Investigation into SCOTUS and - ban on gerrymandering And that’s MODERATE

Court packing isn’t even on the table unless we take the senate

You do it anyways. If republicans don’t want to play by the rules you’re not obligated to either

You literally can’t confirm SCOTUS appointees without the senate confirmation. At least 50 senators need to be on board

You’re trying to play the game within the confines of a rulebook that no longer exists. Wake the fuck up, it doesn’t matter anymore

Buddy, McConnell held up an Obama SCOTUS appointment illegally by simply just not working with him. It’s obvious conservatives aren’t acting in good faith within democracy. They turned over the voting rights act. The VA map got turned over despite it being voted on. And you wanna play by the rules?

IIRC, the way he did it was legal. Wasn’t he the majority leader at the time?

No need for caps. You just need to use google https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/how-does-the-senate-handle-a-supreme-court-nomination https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/senate-kills-supreme-court-filibuster-in-historic-moment You could even filibuster SCOTUS nominees before 2017
