We pack it to 11, the GOP gets in power and they pack it to 15.

I hate the whole “we go high, when they go low” as much as anyone but the GOP will simply just keep going lower than us.

Even getting rid of the filibuster, yeah it sounds like a great idea but what happens when the GOP is in control? Imagine if we had eliminated the filibuster under Obama, the GOP and Trump would have been able to pass whatever they wanted over these last 3 and a half years.

I think our best option right now is to try to get DC, PR statehood and possibly even the USVI. That would help tilt the senate to a more even footing.

Next, I wouldn’t pack the court but I would try to pass term limits on the court, make it a 18 year limit and make it effective immediately, which means you can get rid of Thomas and some of those Bush appointee SCOTUS would be termed out during Biden’s term.

I think people would support term limits on SCOTUS more than packing the court.
