“What makes you so confident you should be president?” is an actual question a reporter shouted at the incumbent who just warned about a reckless court decision that imperils democracy
Will Biden do anything about an illegitimate scotus helping Trump become a dictator before November? If not he should step down because he's not the man for the moment
What’s he supposed to do? They had their chance, and the SCOTUS commission flubbed it. But even if the commission hasn’t been set up to fail, they didn’t have 50 votes to end the filibuster. And now they don’t have the House. The *only* chance we have is for Ds to get the trifecta again.
You're thinking about the old rules. The new rules are power is everything. Do you think Trump will whine about a filibuster? Mail letters?
The game changed and democrats won't see it until the possession changes again
Pack the court, declare judicial review invalid (didn't exist at the founding after all), refuse to enforce their edicts, ask Congress to pass laws reigning them in, tell Dick Durbin to do his job in senate judiciary, tell the DOJ to investigate Manchin's family ties to lobby groups.

The only thing that requires that is passing laws, which HE SHOULD PRESSURE THEM TO DO. But yes, better not ask the house to pass a law the people want and pressure vulnerable Republicans because they might not go along with it.
Investigate him too. Roberts just said the president can talk with DOJ about it.
We gave him power, he refuses to use it. Act like democracy is at stake for once, fuck
Manchin is already retiring, he just quits if this happens and Jim Justice appoints himself to the office a few months early. Agree with the rest of it, to the extent that it's possible
This isn't House of Cards. If you threaten Manchin he goes public, resigns from the Senate, Trump gets elected, and any revenge investigation is killed.
Goes public with what exactly? With what? You think west Virginia has a special election before November?? He resigns you investigate his daughter ANYWAY and you need 50 not 51 to pass the Senate. Who's next to be brave in the Senate?
