@macfarlanenews.bsky.social NEW: Rep Joe Morelle (D-NY) “I will introduce a constitutional amendment to reverse SCOTUS’ harmful decision and ensure that no president is above the law. This amendment will do what SCOTUS failed to do—prioritize our democracy”

That won't work. They MUST pack the court when/if they can.

This is how you build popular support for expanding the court. You do everything possible keep the issue alive. You don't just say "that won't work" about messaging bills. Because you can easily say the same thing about packing the court right now.

> build popular support Our house is on fire. They need to act like it. And they need to tell the public that they are in danger - over an over and over again because Americans only remember something if it's like an ad. Doing an end run around the 6 GOP justices won't work. They won't allow it.

How exactly would you expand the Court, which requires the House, instead of passing a constitutional amendment, which requires the House?
