The evidence is scant that voters actually favor placing formal constitutional upwards limits on how old the President can be.

North Alabama is the heart of the industrialization up and down the I20 corridor.

We have an insanely militarized border already ffs. But I guess having a low-paid workforce over whose heads you can hang the threat of ICE if they dare try to organize is more
important.

In terms of KY-03, it should be noted that KY’s own redistricting guidelines, as adopted in 1991, explicitly requires that “communities of interest” be kept as intact as possible. I think any attempt to redraw KY-03 into multiple R-leaning districts will likely not survive court challenges due to the aforementioned guideline.

In terms of Maryland, someone posted elsewhere on this forum that drawing a 8D-0R map would likely jeopardize Steny Hoyer in a primary.

In my time, back in the day, when I saw 'Zinn' or something that sounded like it, I was reminded of the author of A People's History of the United States.

Still unnecessary, and not worth the effort, like the over 70 one.

Instead of banking on court packing or waiting for some of them to die - maybe it's better to just create a culture of paranoia that paralyzes the court.

Any other creepy authoritarian ideas you have? Curious what else you'd love done to force your politics on others.

I think it would be brilliant to make conservatives on the court so miserable and uncomfortable that they resign.

I mean, that sounds like a form of social terrorism designed to force left wing views on the Court. Why stop at the Court, in that case? It seems you're not okay with people of different views being allowed to have them. So let's hear some more ideas

the problem is that our electoral system is inherently a violation of the 14th and 1st amendments. The democratic party has effectively been blacklisted from power due to senate malapportionment and the fact that dem-controlled senates allowed republican nominees in, only to have the door slammed in there face when the shoe was on the other foot. So thus, blowing the whole system up metaphorically, is the only way to fight back.

I don't think that's worth pursuing an amendment over. There are dozens of more important things we should prioritize.

Anyway, after this election, I doubt we'll see too many senior nominees for some time.
