There was an option on the table for them to lower the mandatory retirement age of Supreme Court justices, but they will not do it.

They want to "work within the existing legal system": https://bsky.app/profile/therealbrent.bsky.social/post/3mllik3ltck2i

The existing legal system is dominated and occupied by ghouls.

Have fun working with them.

It's also literally the representative congressional body either deciding on legislation to enact or putting it up to a popular vote before enacting it. They are working within the existing system, the court is the rogue agent here. Just tell them to fuck off, do it anyway, and then get rid of them out of spite. What a horrid political party.

“We, the people” is, by libs own behavior, the most subjectively interpretable 3 words in history.

Absolutely but there's no way it means "just roll over at the slightest inconvenience that happens to benefit your 'opposition.'" Like at some point the fans will start realizing that the Washington Generals are not only not trying to win, but actively trying to lose.

I hope so, they (the democrats) are extremely bad faith and very open about it but their propaganda is still quite strong and they’ve pivoted to racism like on the border and the rank and file just went along the ride

IDK, this shtick has been working for as long as I've been alive.

And there's always new suckers turning 18
