Actually the supreme Court is an appointed for life position so unless it gets stuffed again, it can only be changed when justices die or leave voluntarily. Ergo it’s literally unfixable by the common citizen unless revolution is on the table.
They had control of the house but never the senate.
You still have to overcome the fillabuster, and that takes 60 votes. And with Manchin and Sinema practically Republicans you’ll never be able to scrap that stupid rule.
They didn’t have the majority? that’s interesting. Then why the fuck was Schumer the majority leader of the 117th congress? (Specifically Jan 3rd ‘21 through ja. 3rd 2023.)
Can’t. Literally can’t. Give up on us, we’re done.
You can. But don’t want to do what it takes: voting. For Dems specifically.

Geez I wonder how the GOP did it…
By asking the Dems not to fill a vacancy they had every right to fill and watching the Dems self implode instead of filling the vacancy.
Oh yes, because the dems have an interest in this.
(They could have fixed it. They didn’t.)
When could they have fixed this?
When they had control of the house and senate. You remember all the whole “we could pack the court by expanding the seats” thing?
They didn’t in part because of manchin and sinema being doucheburgers, but Biden was vocally opposed to it as well.

Oh. That’s right they had control.
As for the filibuster…. they could have just gotten rid of it with the numbers they had.
You not read the whole Manchin and Sinema part of my post? Both are now independents and Manchin literally said he won’t vote to end the fillabust
You didn’t see the part in my original comment where I recognized their obstinacy?
Or the part where Biden was opposed to packing the courts anyhow?
