Fuck yeah, he has my vote. The Supreme Court needs some serious nerfs and better guardrails.

Amendment. I would be shocked if a constitutional amendment passes in the next 30 years.
Hey Biden, why don't you work on giving term limits for the house and Senate first And then work on term limits for the court.
Honesty kinda conflicted on representative term limits. Longer term people can be out of touch, but they also have a lot of experience and know how to collaborate to get laws passed 🤔
I think congress critters should be seated and dormed together by state, not by party. They would be less vile towards each other. Think of the pizza parties!
Or more vile, I feel like Californian house members would start trying to openly kill eachother. Imagine an Inland Imperial trying to get along with someone from LA, or San Francisco, or the Central valley, or the Hi desert, or Hesparia, or the wrong part of the Inland empire. Ya know what I think we just have problems with everyone else, Victorville and San Diego are chill though.
Stack the fucking court Joe. I don't care if there are 500 Supreme Court Justices.
Requires an act of congress and elimination of the filibuster. Not possible with the current makeup of the Senate. Need more blue senators, which is hard because California gets the same number of Senators as North Dakota, which has the same population as a small apartment complex in LA.
So we need record turnout for that. Vote.
Vote and volunteer to help others get to the booths if they can't on their own. We know they want to do everything they can to make voting harder for the blue. Getting the blue to stay home is their only chance of winning. If everyone votes, there is no longer a republican party. (or those that are around won't matter, they won't be able to strip rights from the American people)
Just saying, he could officially eliminate a few justices in the short term.
Kicks in the door, guns blazing ... official presidential business 😎
They had the house, the senate and the white house before the mid terms and they squandered it
Are you talking about the period in which Sinema and Manchin actively sabotaged the agenda of their own party?
Pack it, but better yet is to completely restructure it. The Constitution is extremely vague about what SCOTUS is. Just that it exists, its the highest court in the land, and Congress defines it.
38 states to agree on that constitutional amendment ?
Which states ?
The most amazing ideas always come when the election draws close. But he can't implement any of them because there is no time.
Good thing Biden already fulfilled his previous election promises. Student loans are a thing of the past.
Whoah whoah whoah. He said "push for", not implement. He'll do his best!
He rescheduled the fuck out of weed too right….riiiight?
Just let me get that barn door for you Democrats.
