It's not a constitutional crisis if Joe Biden covers his ears and goes la-la-la I can't hear you

Look, this is a shitty thing, but what exactly is Biden supposed to do here? He can't fire SCOTUS. If he issues an executive order to counter this it will get litigated. He can work with Congress to try to get a law written, but since we don't have both houses, that's not likely to happen.

guess the president has no power, can’t do anything. meanwhile trump is all powerful and can do everything he wants. do i have that right?

The president single-handedly cannot do anything. In this case, the courts have to do it, and the far right dominated SCOTUS decided to do nothing. All Biden could do is appoint liberal judges to the 5th circuit if there are any openings.

Rafael made sure Biden couldn’t appoint any fifth circuit judges for the longest. With that said, I think the SC should be expanded.

Agreed, but that's not happening with a Republican House, and it wasn't going to happen with a Senate majority that depended on Manchin and Sinema.
