As for the Supreme Court, why didn’t Republicans expand it when they had the trifecta? I guess because they got their 5-4 lead once Gorsuch was appointed, thanks to McConnell’s shenanigans? I know we’re talking about it now, so were Republicans talking about it in 2017?

I don't think expanding the court is a winning move long term.
Short term, we need to pass legislation protecting a woman's right to choose. The majority of Americans would agree with this type of legislation. Same with marriage equality. Also, explicitly pass legislation adding protection to LGBTQ to the existing anti-discrimination laws. DON'T rely on a SC interpretation of the existing law -- make it explicit. This isn't all 100% safe, because it could be undone by more legislation, but it's less risky than leaving these things up to SC precedent right now. These are all things the majority of American's agree with. This is how Obama rectified the Lilly Leadbetter ruling.
Longer term, we need to do something about the Republican's advantage in the electoral college, and even bigger advantage in the senate. The court more conservative than the American public because the senate is tilted in favor of the republicans. This needs to be fixed before expanding the court will be anything other than a short-term fix.

It is vital that we move fast. Bulldoze everything. Fast track everything. Nuking the filibuster helps significantly but we should also be streamlining both House and Senate rules to make things run much more smoothly. It's not only the 40 years the Nazis have dragged us backwards that we are making up, it's also the 40 years they have cost America. We are 80 years behind where we should be on democratic, social, and science matters. We are basically jumping an entire century.
This has to be done now, before the Nazis can regroup. Because gridlock will be back sooner than anyone expects. We may have just 2 years to work, and that means every one of those 700-odd days has to be filled with dramatic progress for Americans.
It's a f-cking war. Sitting around picking our navel lint is just going to get a lot of people killed.Cornell University

Scalia's death was the first time in 2 generations for the liberals to take it. McConnell is ramming through ACB because he thinks the Dems will blink again and won't fight back. I hope he's wrong

So, this is sick. Apparently Mike Lee who tested positive for Covid will appear in person at the hearings this week. And Republicans like Lindsey Graham are REFUSING to be tested.

Stop calling it "packing." The GOP packed the Court. We are unpacking it.
I don't know why the Dems are even at the Judiciary hearing. It makes no difference and they are just exposing themselves and their staffers to the Disease Party. Boycott it. Let the Nazis have their judge. Sweep and add 6.Cornell University
