Term limits is doable and has some support even among the justices. You could swing it so that each presidential administration fills two vacancies. Vacating justices would be moved to other courts so as to get around the lifetime appointment issue.

Expansion makes sense based on the workload the court has to deal with. There are 4 more circuits and about 5x the population as there was when the number was set to 9. So just keeping pace the court should be somewhere between 13 and 45 justices.
Why, I had no idea that FDR had a special interest in garden gnomes. I swear, the things you learn around here.
Anyway, pack it, into shape, shape it up, get straight, go forward, move ahead, try to deflect it, itâs not too late to pack it, pack it good.

Fun Fact: Senate Dems are still - this week of all weeks - voting to confirm Trump nominees.
Funner Fact: Elise Stefanik - who was supposed to be leaving Congress to join the Trump administration - is now staying in Congress.
This means one of two things: either she fell out of favor with the Dear Leader, in which case HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA FUCK YOU! Or they are shitting themselves over the prospect of losing her safe âRâ seat in a special election, in which case HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA FUCK YOU!
ETA: She was supposed to be the new UN Ambassador, and they absolutely pulled her nomination because they were worried about her seat that Trump won by +20 just four months ago.

More to the point, theyâve convinced a significant portion of the electorate that trans people are a problem.
Democrat âleadershipâ should be pointing out that as one of the few countries that accepts trans people, those people are likely to be more fervent patriots than the ordinary bear, and theyâre a net plus to the force. But that would require half a brain collectively from those dimwits, so it wonât happen.

There are two special elections for US House seats in Florida next week. Iâm not saying that theyâre freaked out about them, but Trump is campaigning tonight for the guy running for Mike Waltzâ old seat that is a Trump +30 district.
I love this for them.
This is what Republicans will get off their asses to do
This is so fucked up, going out of their way to do this. Corruption is rampant.

The latest executive order: heâs no longer going to recognize or bargain with most federal worker unions. Thatâs nearly a million people. And it wonât stop thereâif he gets any traction, public sector workers will be next. And then every union everywhere.

It turns out that Israel is pissed because Mike Waltz cheering the collapse of a building full of civilians - and maybe one terrorist (Team America would be proud) - potentially outed a covert source.
The Houthis may wonder who is feeding real-time information action about movements of their senior peopleâŚ
Apparently the UN Ambassador gig comes with a 6,000sf riverfront penthouse apartment in NYC that Elise Stefanik will not now get to live in.
I love this for her.

To be fair, theyâd be hard-pressed to find any Americans who want to talk to her either.
Poor Mrs. Couch-humper.

For some weird reason this statement reminded me of the American Revolution.
The British fought ( according to my education which may be wrong) by long established âgentlemanlyâ rules. They expected their opponents to get into orderly formation before engaging and spare the officers, aiming for the pawns. And thats how THEY fought.
The Colonials exploited this by shooting from cover and sparing nobody.
The British needed to adapt.
The British lost.
The Colonials formed their own country establishing their own rules.
âŚand their own system of weights and measures.
