i don't know whether AOCs call for impeaching the justices will be the right one (it doesn't have a chance in hell of getting through), but the conversation has to start with congress, who are prime offenders in letting the court get to this point, and i'm encouraged someone there recognizes that

given impeachment thresholds, I think "expand the court" or some purely legislative answer is the only realistic one that could get through at the same time, I think the sentiment behind impeachment is the right one, because the message should be that these maniacs have failed and must be removed

This is realistically probably true, but we don't get hear without AOC and others banging the impeachment drum to move the public on the issue of court reform. At least somebody understands the concept of performative acts to drive the national discourse which seems like an arcane secret to Schumer

Maybe Durbin is the bigger culprit on this specific issue. The point remains, the senior dem leadership don't know how to fight to shape public opinion, they just keep commissioning polls and triangulation for all the success it has given them in 20 years.
