Biden's unveiled a radical plan to fight the GOP judges and justices. Just kidding. His plan is "term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code" for the supreme court. And... that's it.

You're viewing a single thread.
Bit idea: Get this passed and then overturned by the supreme Court
Another bit idea: It dies as a bill in the senate because the dems refuse to kill the filibuster.
Well it's not like it's gonna get out of the house either
Biden has a plan that the dems will try to do (or pretend to try to do) after election day if Biden wins and the dems control congress. Then it could die in the senate. I don't know if you saw my other comment in this sub-thread where I quote a lawyer. It doesn't even matter if it passes. The GOP justices would kill it anyway
All of this is pure kabuki. This pretend form of action gives the libs to be excited about, to talk about, to be hopeful about, and to post about.
A notable lawyer's take
At the risk of being precisely who everyone expects me to be, I don’t think you can put term limits on justices without a constitutional amendment, and I’m 100% confident at least five current justices think you can’t.

when did liberals start thinking "move the overton window left" meant "bait people into vooting blue with false promises of half-baked vaguely left wing ideas"?
I've gotten to the point that I've stopped trying to understand liberals. I nearly always put "Rhetorical question:" at the beginning of a sentence if I ask something like "Why are liberals like this?"
@questauthority mentioning the Overton window is a pretty good bit even if it isn't actually a bit and "question" is trucated.

Said it before, gonna keep saying it. AOC is a generational talent as a politician, and that's not a remotely close call.

It just became a way of admitting to their being all talk, but that being good actually. Not even incremental material change, just incremental change in the "discourse", which will (if you're a good voter) lead to it.
