Easy to lose sight of the significance here, but the sitting president just gave a speech condemning the Supreme Court for a ruling that expands presidential power. It’s also a president who stands to benefit from this ruling, given that his opponent is vowing to imprison him and his family.
He did the most Democratic thing ever, which was to agree with a meaningless dissent and then tell us that as President he didn't have the power or legitimacy to do anything about it and that it was up to us.
Just think: if we kept voting, we could elect a whole string of Democratic Presidents all of whom would tell us that they can't do anything and that it was up to us to elect another Democratic President who would also not be able to do anything.

I am looking forward to the $2K annual out of pocket limit on Medicare drugs starting next January

I remember him
He did mess up on a Supreme Court appointment
Fortas, who resigned
That has had bad effects for 55 years
He had a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate for 3 months out of his entire presidency. Then the Senate flipped because voters did not back him up and he missed his chance.
