That 9-6 Democratic Court will be a 12-9 GOP one by decade’s end. Then what? Looks like American voters are currently sick and tired of nakedly partisan power grabs, which is why 2018 was a blue wave and 2020 may be as well. I’m guessing most of the centrists and/or independent voters voting D this election and in 2018 aren’t voting D to allow us to expand the Supreme Court. Scooby’s media would have the headlines written for them. Since a lot of posters on here value intelligence, or at least educated people, why don’t we persuade those new D voters, the educated, middle class people from the suburbs, to keep voting D? Don’t we want them in our party? I feel like there are a few independent and/or centrist voters on this board who could be persuaded to vote for court reforms, like diminishing the power of the Supreme Court for both parties, but could not be persuaded to expand the court with 6 more Democrats. These are smart enough, educated enough people who seem to be the new “swing” voters at the moment. Supreme Court reform needs to happen, but expanding the court is just one option- and it’s a blatantly partisan one. Lots of important voters don’t seem to want that, based on their votes in 2018 and 2020.
