Democrats should probably get off their fucking asses and do some court expansion on the Supreme Court.

How would they go about doing that in this political environment?

They could start by saying they support it and making it part of the party platform.

The problem (meaning one of many, many problems) with Democrats is they mass deliberate on every issue. They might put this up for discussion for a month before they kill it because of some technocratic snag the top dogs of the party get hooked on. If I recall correctly, they've already done this.

Which means we're actually already a few steps down the road in this process. This isn't that hard. At the moment the Democratic Party has a single leader. If he endorses court expansion that's the Democratic position, at least for a while.

If you mean Biden. he's not going to. He doesn't have the stomach or nerves for it. He is neither a radical nor a visionary. He's a conservative "bipartisan" technocrat by deep nature. (If he does this, it's because someone else has taken the reins from him.)

I agree he won't. But he absolutely COULD.

Substitute "Biden" or "Democrats" for "Horatio."
