I don't think the Senate has authority over the Court. That's purely in the purview of the House, which is controlled by the fascist party and so requests and letters are a dead end. It's gotta be something more aggressive than that.
we can always just eat them
Old people are full of heavy metals, forever chemicals, and sometimes prions. No thanks.
we must transfer the lead from their brains to our bodies
senate has the authority to pack the courts, assuming the president cooperates. of course neither branch will consider that in the name of @Civility@hexbear.net

If only the Democrats had the will to expand the house with a simple majority, back when they had the majority. Given how many people there are in left leaning states and cities, it’s absurd that the current GOP should ever be able to take the house. But, as usual , the only party that isn’t completely fascist seem incapable (or unwilling) to do what it takes to secure any power for the people they supposedly represent. We needed to expand the house and expand the Supreme Court ages ago.
Overthrow them
