1. We should have neutralized this corrupt bunch of pretenders when we had the chance.

All we needed to do was get a majority vote in the Senate, when we had the majority, to break the filibuster so we could amend the judiciary act and add five or six seats for Biden to appoint honest justices to neutralize these stupid idiots.

And who kept us from doing this? A couple of Democrats in the Senate, and a former President who were too hung up on Senate tradition and status quo to make a commitment to break the filibuster.

Even with slim majorities in the House and Senate, this Trump Presidency would have been dead in the water if a packed court had overturned Citizens United, to keep Musk's money out of the campaign, overturned their ridiculous unconstitutional immunity ruling, and enforced the law against his unconstitutional executive orders. But then, if the court had been packed, they'd have ended his delaying tactics in the criminal cases with the indicments against him, he'd have gone to trial and been convicted and jailed before the election was even close. Merrick Garland's gross negligence and incompetence could not have protected him from that.
