The Fig Economy: I don’t think he’s the mover here, and I think whatever Congress manages to get passed, he’s gonna sign.

I think there is basically consensus now among elected Dems that court reform is necessary, if there wasn't before.

I'm just hoping that Joe is being deliberate and slow about coming around to it rather than resisting it

I am confident Biden would be on board now

I do suspect we’d need to suggest the most extreme restructuring option possible to get him to where we-the-left want him to be but that has been true of Biden basically his entire career.

I don’t think he’s the mover here, and I think whatever Congress manages to get passed, he’s gonna sign.

Absolutely valid, I was speaking to getting Biden on-side with the idea, not how you get it enacted. For Congress I think the same pressure applies -- get them to see that the reasonable middle ground *is* expansion and scaling back some of their unwritten powers.
